Studying acoustics with L-Acoustics as a standard helps students develop keen ears. Hopefully, the inspiring sound of this hall will revitalize all departments,\u201d\u00a0says Koichi Katsuta, Director of Public Relations and General Affairs at the\u00a0Kunitachi Music Academy\u00a0of the\u00a0newly installed\u00a0L-Acoustics A Series\u00a0concert sound system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 50 years, the Academy has offered a wide range of music courses, from instrument performance to production, composition theory, acoustics, therapy and eurhythmics. The open syllabus system allows students to freely choose their study program, creating a learning environment that caters to students&#8217; interests and individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main Tokyo campus welcomes students with various spaces that include lecture halls, practice rooms, rehearsal studios and a professional recording studio. The Paradise Music Hall occupies a two-story space that boasts soundproofing from its former life as the headquarters of the For Life&nbsp;Records&nbsp;label, which revolutionized J-Pop in the 1970s. Wishing to branch out from educational activities alone to host live performances by recognized artists and other public events, the Hall sought a renovation of its sound reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" data-id=\"275894\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-1-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"Paradise Hall at Tokyo\u2019s Kunitachi Music Academy has a new L-Acoustic A Series concert sound system\" class=\"wp-image-275894\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-1-1024x536.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-1-300x157.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-1-768x402.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Paradise Hall at Tokyo\u2019s Kunitachi Music Academy has a new L-Acoustic A Series concert sound system<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"275892\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Two L-Acoustics X8 coaxial enclosures provide in-fill at Kunitachi Music Academy Paradise Hall\" class=\"wp-image-275892\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-2-300x169.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-2-768x432.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/la-kma-paradise-hall-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two L-Acoustics X8 coaxial enclosures provide in-fill at Kunitachi Music Academy Paradise Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hisaaki Komatsu, CEO of KMD Sound Design Inc and lecturer in Acoustic Design at the Academy, notes that \u201cas a mixing engineer with extensive experience, I\u2019ve encountered L-Acoustics systems and am consistently impressed by their signature sound.
