Redefining Luxury with the Ultimate Immersive Audio Experience: L-Acoustics Wins Smart Building Manufacturer of the Year Redefining Luxury with the Ultimate Immersive Audio Experience: L-Acoustics Wins...

We are thrilled to announce a landmark achievement for L-Acoustics: being named Manufacturer of the Year at the 2025 Smart Building Awards! This recognition validates our mission to bring the ultimate immersive audio experience to the architectural, marine, and residential markets.

This victory is especially resonant as we celebrate success in a market sector relatively new to our brand. For over 40 years, L-Acoustics has been synonymous with defining the precision of audio performance for touring and live shows, serving the world’s most demanding artists and venues. It’s from this foundation of concert-grade audio excellence that we have brought our unique, performance-driven ethos to the world of high-end architectural and residential integration.

The Smart Building Awards, sponsored by Niko and unveiled at EI Live!, celebrate the very best in smart building, AV, and home automation, recognizing solutions that highlight innovation, design, and industry-leading quality. Winning the Manufacturer of the Year title, as judged by an independent panel, is a powerful affirmation of our strategy: to leverage decades of audio research to create truly transformative immersive audio experiences in luxury residences, marine environments, corporate spaces, and hospitality venues.

Pioneering the Architectural Immersive Audio Experience

Although our presence in this sector is relatively recent, our commitment to pioneering innovation is long-standing and evident in the solutions we bring to market. Our flagship residential and architectural system, HYRISS (Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space), exemplifies this commitment and was featured in our award submission.

HYRISS is not just a sound system; it is a profound rethinking of how audio integrates with a space, turning the entire room into a dynamic sonic canvas. It is designed to deliver high-fidelity, concert-level sound without disrupting the aesthetic vision of a space.

The innovation lies in its core engineering. This is achieved through the artful concealment of all technology, as demonstrated in our London Experience Center, where 28 loudspeakers and 34 subwoofers are discreetly integrated into the walls to create a sound that emanates from everywhere, resulting in an altered sonic experience where the source is impossible to pinpoint. This focus on a “Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space” is central to the ultimate immersive audio experience.

The HYRISS system incorporates our proprietary technologies to offer a truly elevated user experience:

• L-ISA for precise immersive audio positioning, creating a realistic and engaging listening experience.
• Ambiance technology, which dynamically adapts the room’s acoustic properties, allows the user to seamlessly shift between sonic environments, from a dry studio to a grand concert hall.
• Anima technology, which enables the isolation and spatialization of sound sources, provides greater control, transforming stereo content into an immersive soundstage.

This recognition affirms our mission to be more than just a loudspeaker manufacturer—that we are pioneers using acoustic, electronic, and mechanical engineering to reshape the possibilities of sound. To our dedicated team, our valued trade partners, and our growing network of integrators: thank you for being an essential part of this journey.

This Smart Building Award is a new milestone, confirming our commitment to enhancing every space we touch with the power of a truly immersive audio experience.
