Dolby Live is Atmos for concerts, and it sounds fantastic
, you’ll find that the stereo version “sits” on a two-dimensional sonic plane, while the Atmos one expands out and provides a sense of being in the performance.The Dolby Live theater at the Park MGM is a 5,200-seat venue with a system that was designed by Dolby engineers and precisely calibrated for the best sound. The theater has the expected huge video walls and its design splits the seating into tiers, with the back row of each only 145 feet from the stage .
Imagine Dragons’ effects-heavy stadium rock could easily fill a much larger space, so it seemed like the challenge in this situation was to scale it down to match the venue. Songs like Believer and Enemy had extremely clear vocals and a clean, detailed sound that I’m not used to hearing at concerts. As the guy said, “wow.”
While overhead effects weren’t readily audible in the live Atmos mix , I did regularly hear strategically deployed keyboards, guitar, and vocals coming out of the venue’s rear speakers. The overall presentation was much like I’ve experienced with good Atmos music tracks I’ve listened to at home, except louder. Kick drum could have had more impact, though that may have been a sound mixing decision meant to preserve the clarity of the vocals.
Will the Dolby Live experience become a permanent part of other venues? Dolby Atmos live sound mixes have been used at other spaces in Las Vegas and elsewhere for performances by artists like Carlos Santana and Meek Mill, so Dolby Live clearly can be taken on the road. At present, the venue at the Park MGM is the world’s only dedicated Dolby Live theater, so if you’re in Vegas and there’s an artist performing there you’d want to catch, Dolby Live comes highly recommended.
