L-Acoustics and EarthPercent: A Collective Effort for Sustainable Live Sound L-Acoustics and EarthPercent: A Collective Effort for Sustainable Live Sound ...
Everyone remembers their first live sound show. That moment when you’re settled into your seat or out on the floor, and that first note vibrates throughout your body. The boom of the bass, the air full of excitement, and the clarity of the vocals slicing through the air: it’s a deeply emotional experience that sticks with you.
But what about the environmental impact of creating those powerful moments? Even the smallest production can rely on materials that stress our planet’s resources. Because of this awareness, L-Acoustics is committed to ensuring that the future of music sounds just as good as it feels, which is why we’re proud to be a Founding Donor and active member of EarthPercent. This organization is channeling the energy of the music industry to address the climate crisis head-on. Their core mission – uniting artists, fans, and industry leaders to support the most impactful solutions to the ecological emergency – strikes a chord with L-Acoustics’ own values.
In 2024, EarthPercent’s efforts hit a high note, raising and distributing $710,000 to 18 vital organizations. These funds are supporting critical work across conservation, climate justice, and environmental protection. L-Acoustics is particularly excited about EarthPercent supporting innovative initiatives, such as “Sounds Right,” which cleverly utilizes music to generate funds for nature conservation. It’s this kind of creative thinking that will help us achieve sustainability in live sound.
