“I’m in a suburban office park, and it feels like a music festival. I’m in a showroom, and it feels like a concert hall. I’m in a 3,000-person auditorium, and it feels like a 10,000-person arena,” says Tony Ware, writer, and editor for Popular Science, as he describes his first experience of the power of an exceptional shared sound experience from L-Acoustics. Ware sets the scene and describes his initial impressions of L-Acoustics’ professional sound systems and audio technologies. He notes, “I was on a multinational adventure to experience 40 years and the future of audio as a transformative medium.”
Popular Science Meets L-Acoustics Professional Sound Systems
PopSci recently dove deep into our 40-year audio history, exploring our journey from a farmhouse in France to rocking stages and spaces worldwide. Setting historical context to our journey and the “why” behind the inception of L-Acoustics’ renowned sound innovations, Ware writes: “Stacks towers walls—the way speakers were described shows that concert sound had always been building toward something,” writes Ware. “But building blocks are just that: Blocks.”
He goes on, “If it sounds simple, it’s not. If it sounds awesome, that’s because it is. But before the L-Acoustics era, this wasn’t always the case.” Ware then highlights our groundbreaking line array technology, which revolutionized concert sound and set a new standard for professional sound systems. He explores how our innovative software and spatial audio solutions, like L-ISA, create truly immersive audio experiences that redefine how audiences connect with sound.
“Line arrays are the standard now—if you’ve been to a mid-sized or large venue recently, you can’t miss the ribbons of black boxes flying above the stage, gently curling inward to make sure the audience can hear from GA to far away.”
Experiencing HYRISS
With a firsthand look at our latest advancements, including HYRISS, a groundbreaking platform that allows for dynamic acoustic control in any environment, Ware notes: “After walking around the speakers while playing test tracks, stopping at designated angles to gauge efficiency and engagement, I can confirm its surprising effectiveness.” Imagine transforming the sonic landscape of a room with the touch of a button – that’s the power of HYRISS.
It’s an exciting look at how we will continue to shape the future of sound; in fact, it can be said that L-Acoustics is the future of sound. Ware for PopSci eloquently observes, “Why just fill the room when you can fulfill the room?”Read the full PopSci article to discover the passion and innovation behind our professional sound systems and how we’re crafting the next generation of immersive audio experiences. As Ware concludes, “It’s engineering meets artistry, immersive and articulate—the essence of L-Acoustics in its fifth decade.”
