Hibino Sound designs and deploys an immersive sound experience with the expertise of system engineer Masaaki Nagayasu<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

OSAKA, Japan – July 2023 \u2013<\/strong> Formed in 2008, the three-piece Japanese rock band My Hair is Bad recently wrapped up the Ultimate Homerun Tour with final arena series concerts in the Osaka-Jo Hall and in an iconic Tokyo arena. Made up of three high school buddies, My Hair is Bad has released five full-length albums, steadily growing its fan base across Japan and beyond over 15 years. The tour, which began in the middle of 2022 as Japan\u2019s pandemic restrictions on entertainment began to ease, culminated with these two arena concerts that featured a special immersive audio experience for their loyal fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band\u2019s sound engineer, Hironori Ochi, had first learned of L-ISA technology from Masaaki Nagayasu, Systems Engineer at L-Acoustics Certified Rental Agent Hibino Sound, who hosted Mr. Ochi at an L-ISA workshop in his personal studio. Upon discovering the unique capabilities of L-ISA, Mr. Ochi began working on the design of an L-ISA Hyperreal Sound system for the 10,000-capacity Osaka-Jo Hall arena concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI received L-ISA training with L-Acoustics in the spring of 2022. The impact of the pandemic meant that it would be some time until I could work on an L-ISA concert. When Ochi approached me with the My Hair is Bad concert project, I felt confident that this would be the right one, at the perfect time to introduce L-ISA to live music fans in Japan,” explains Mr. Nagayasu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After informing the production team that the concert would be presented in immersive audio, Mr. Nagayasu considered technical specifications for a system design that would adhere to loading and rigging limits of the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final L-ISA configuration consisted of a main Scene System of five hangs of 12 L-Acoustics K2<\/a> each. A cluster of 12 KS28<\/a> subwoofers was flown just behind the main Scene System. Out-fill consisted of 15 Kara II<\/a> per side while 11 L-Acoustics A10 Focus<\/a> served as front-fill. Six KS28 subwoofers were also evenly distributed across the front of the stage to provide more low-end rumble to the concert arena. Forty LA12X<\/a> amplified controllers drove the entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-ISA Processor II received MADI signals from a DiGiCo SD10 mixing board via Luminex GigaCore, while an L-Acoustics LS10 distributed audio and control signals over Milan AVB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Nagayasu calibrated the system using an L-Acoustics P1 AVB processor, which efficiently took the same amount of time as an L\/R array system, enabling sound check and band rehearsal sessions to adhere to a tight schedule. The band\u2019s mix engineer, Mr. Ochi, approached the mix differently from a Left\/Right system, laying out elements within a deeper 3D immersive space while giving My Hair is Bad\u2019s lead vocals a natural localized feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one song, Mr. Nagayasu assisted Mr. Ochi in creating a space focused on the stage center for a few bars which only possessed vocals and guitar, and then expanding the immersive mix gradually as bass and drums were introduced in the musical piece, eventually leading the mix into a fuller, grand image of the band\u2019s full sound. This creative immersive mixing technique enhanced the musical expression of the band\u2019s music to great effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a very enjoyable experience for me to mix on L-ISA. We took advantage of its capabilities and presented the music in a new way for the fans and concertgoers,\u201d beams Mr. Ochi. \u201cAs the lights came on after the encore, the audience had smiles of delight and praise for the sound team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the first time that L-ISA technology was used in Japan, it was undoubtedly a success and was fully accepted, especially by the artists. We managed to fully express the band\u2019s musicality through an immersive sound mix in the large arena. I foresee L-ISA to be commonplace in a variety of concerts in the near future, no matter the genre,\u201d concludes Mr. Nagayasu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
