bitflipper Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Dave Rat gives a tour and delivers the technical specs. Each box contains either 80 or 96 speakers, each with their own amplifier. They go for $36-38K apiece, so I won't be adding any to my rig, although it would be fun to be able to target sound at that one guy in the audience who's being a jerk. This gear is amazing. I've never heard of directionality like this, outside of sonic military weapons. Even though you're in a sphere, which should be the worst-possible acoustical environment, you don't hear the room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never leave home. I've seen photos that friends back home posted on Facebook - I wasn't even aware of that thing before that. Heck, I've not even seen the completed Allegiant Stadium. I think we have a football team now, and the local hockey team is doing relatively well if I understand correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Quote Aristotle's fifth element of drama was Spectacle, which is about the setting and what the audience sees. Drama needs a visual element. Spectacle and atmosphere can bring new meaning to the language and characters. Atmosphere and spectacle can make a drama memorable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
