As technology continues to advance, it’s no surprise that the world’s celebrities have started to embrace it for their own purposes, including the legendary singer Janet Jackson, who has welcomed the developments in the field of hyperreal immersive sound technology.
Indeed, Jackson announced back in 2024 her plans to follow up the 94-show Together Again world tour with a 10-date Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre – the home to a permanent installation of the innovative L-Acoustics L-ISA Hyperreal Immersive Sound design.

Specifically, the cutting-edge audio system fills the 5,000-seat venue with more than 200 strategically placed speakers, delivering unparalleled sonic clarity and spatial depth to every audience member, resulting in an immersive show that feels both intimate and bombastic, LATAMStage reported earlier.
As it happens, the person behind the transition from traditional stereo mixing to the immersive L-ISA setup is Los Angeles-based producer and front-of-house (FOH) engineer Caram Costanzo, who has also worked with Guns N’ Roses and who has developed a show template that leverages L-ISA’s full capabilities.
According to him:
“Janet’s music is perfect for L-ISA – her stellar, high-powered studio productions demanded we create that same standard within the L-ISA environment.”
Meanwhile, the residency’s success has led the star to deliver additional performances of her classic hits and new arrangements with the sensory dynamic audio quality of the L-ISA technology, with six more dates of Janet Jackson: Las Vegas at Resorts World Theatre added in May 2025.
Her embrace of immersive sound technology not only showcases her commitment to innovation during over 50 years of her successful music and TV show career but also sets a new benchmark for live performances in Las Vegas and beyond.
Elsewhere, sound technology continues to advance in other areas, including hearing aids, where scientists have developed a brain-inspired algorithm that improves their performance and helps people wearing them filter out background noise and clear up noisy conversations.
