Aerosmith’s Las Vegas Residency Opens With Inventive Use of Immersive Sound
The show is presented with live THX certified L-Acoustics’ L-ISA immersive sound, thanks to a partnership with THX and L-Acoustics. The object-based sound is mixed live during the performance and can support up to 96 individual objects (sound or musical elements) that can be played in 64 different directions. The 5,400-seat theater uses 230 speakers (for comparison, Dixon added that a typical stadium tour might use 40 to 50) positioned 360-degrees around the venue and across the ceiling, as with immersive sound in a cinema. It uses up to 300,000 watts of power.
The show also features a 100-seat THX-certified onstage VIP section, where each guest will have access to "studio-quality" (the monitor mix) audio direct from the Aerosmith mixing board using audio technology from MIXhalo (a young company co-founded by Incubus guitarist Michael Einziger) and a pair of THX-certified 1More triple driver in-ear headphones.
