I went to the Sphere (Postcard from Earth movie) last week and was the most immersive experience I have ever encountered while sitting in a chair. It was impressive

Very impressive not alone the scale but the utilization of technology to pull this off

Wow, that looks incredible..

The other thing I'm trying to find more info is the systems being used to render the 16k video for the sphere... that's gotta require some beefy server farms packed with GPU's

so basically for sound they use crowd sound dispersal that for example U.S army uses.

no mention of subwoofers

I know about 10k seats are supposed to be fitted with infra-sound haptic rigs. I suspect there's seperate sub augmentation to those Holoplot array modules. I noticed there's two types of the modules ... perhaps the ones with vents are the LF ... I'd like to know more from someone in attendance, ie., How loud was it? Vocal intelligibility? How was the bass clarity, visceral element and punch?

The loudspeaker modules each have 2 15" Subwoofers in a band pass configuration. There are internal photos floating around the web.

Hype. Several friends who have seen the first gigs in the Sphere have commented that the sound system is not much better than a well designed and engineered stadium touring system.

I expected as much. I suspect that the acoustics of such a space are average at best, so no matter how clever the audio processing, the system remains a lot of speakers in an odd hall. Bearing in mind that most people have never heard a decent high spl sound system, I'm sure it sounds spectacular to most of the audience...

the sound at U2 was top-notch... nearly flawless... there were a few spots where 'bottom' wasn't as present as I would have liked, but otherwise... ASTOUNDING...

Cool interview, but so many questions left unanswered. Like, where are the speakers? How many are there? What brand?

I remember everything. Wooooo. Wake up Wake up

I just went to U2 show and I was so disappointed with the sound it seams like this technology doesn't work in live music in large scale format. I was able to walk and listen in different places and it sounds bad. there is no highs at all, it sounds like there is low pass filter with 6dB per octave from about 3-4k. The low end muddy and not focused. If you standing under the balcony the only thing you able to listen it is just one box which sound like there is L + R plus mono summation of left and right and it's all playing from one source and also it sounds like high frequency drivers not working at all. When you stand on the edge of the balcony where you should be able to hear all the immersive sound yes it is sound wider but again there is no highs. And it is not focused and not punchy sound. So please tell me as sound engineer I know how physics of sound works, but 1. how you able to through highs with just open 1" drivers without any wave guide or horn or any other thing. I understand that you can create coverage with dsp processing and delays, but how you compensate the distance? We know that as sound travels it lost energy but it also depends on frequency (highs lost energy faster) how they compensate that? 2. All engineers knows that if you have two sound sources apart from each other more than 2/3 of the wave length and play same signal from it, it will give you interference. That X1 systems have many 1" drivers and they placed in about 5-6 sm apart from each other. So for example wave length of 10 kilohertz will be just about 3,4 sm it means that if you play same signal through these X1 system it will give you interference from 5-6k and above unless you shape the sound with some wave guide and give it directional so it will not cross each other much.

@@DmitryIlyushin In answer to your first post - well, opinion actually - with the HF drivers being so distant to most of the audience, I suspect that what arrives at their ears is a somewhat ill-defined 'mush', especially in such an odd-shaped space. Yes, beam steering can focus and direct sounds to a degree but the phase linearity is bound to be horrendous. There will be very few trained ears in any given audience, and when many folks are happy to listen to a phone with nothing below a couple of hundred Hertz, it no doubt sounds spectacular to them. To you and me, it's simply an expensive novelty.

Why are you playing music during the interview?

the guy from holoplot seems to be a computer generated avitar.
