Our fields of expertise
We lead in line source array innovation, blending science with sound design. Our expertise spans raw materials, cutting-edge tech, and software, shaping the future of sound.
Product Design
Our products are a subtle demonstration of the power of innovation through the fluidity, elegance, and readability of our solutions. We co-design each hardware and software project with our users’ representatives, employing a pragmatic and avant-garde approach. From the blank page to digital and physical prototyping, simplicity and utility guide the design process.
Product Engineering
From idea to concept, drawing to prototype, or mock-up to production, we design the best acoustic innovations from eye to ear. Our passion for acoustic, electronic, and mechanical modeling is visible in the attention we give to every detail of our products’ engineering and performance. Safety, durability, and reliability contribute to the unmatched sound signature: Emotion.
Acoustics
Our acoustics are born from the passion of marrying art and science to create something evocatively moving. The sum of these parts: loudspeakers, cabinetry design, mechanical design, DSP algorithms, spatialization algorithms, and the interaction of multiple elements – act in concert to excite listeners with the world-renowned L‑Acoustics sonic signature.
Electronics
Performance and power. Amplification and precision. Acoustics and electronics. These inseparable duos all form an ecosystem of solutions that control and amplify. Our experience in the cutting edge of digital audio network technologies, in real-time signal processing and embedded software, helps produce a wholly unique sound quality.
Software
Our proficiency in developing proprietary sound prediction and control software helps shape our designs. Our software innovation is supported by rigorous scientific models and the latest programming skill sets.
Wood Composite Cabinetry
Premium, sustainably sourced wood nourishes the quality of our sonic signature. Each speaker receives special attention and craftsmanship from our skilled team of artisans.
Precision Metal
Our industrial and precision sheet metal specialists utilize cutting-edge and high-performance production tools to process small, medium, and large metal series, enabling safe and reliable deployment of our sound systems.
Explore L-ISA Solutions
L-ISA is a suite of spatial audio solutions designed to create incredibly realistic and immersive sound experiences with three distinct offerings.
L-ISA Hyperreal uses a frontal speaker array to precisely connect sound with its visual source on stage, making every element, from vocals to instruments, feel natural and lifelike. This is ideal for any production aiming for an ultra-realistic shared sonic experience.
L-ISA Immersive goes beyond traditional surround sound, utilizing speakers placed around and sometimes above the audience to craft a truly three-dimensional audio environment. This allows for the creation of dynamic spatial audio that transports listeners into another reality, making it perfect for live performances, immersive art installations, and any venue seeking to push the boundaries of sonic depth and creativity.
L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal combines the best of both worlds, blending the precise sound-image localization of Hyperreal with the enveloping environment of Immersive. This option provides the ultimate flexibility, allowing sound designers to craft a sonic experience that is both incredibly realistic and profoundly immersive, providing the most customizable creative spatial audio experience available. This allows for the most nuanced and flexible sonic palette, enabling creators to place sound elements with pinpoint accuracy while also building a rich and encompassing soundscape.
Distinctions
L‑Acoustics is highly recognized in the audio industry for its engineering contributions to further the state of the art.
In recognition of creating innovative professional sound technology, L‑Acoustics was named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2020 and 2023.
