Frequently Asked Questions
Ambiance is an integrated solution from L-Acoustics. Our teams will walk you through the process. Ambiance technology is a license upgrade to the L-ISA Processor II and can be added at any stage, much like the different licenses for the number of outputs. Each venue must be validated for Ambiance and additional devices may be needed, please contact us for further information and inquiry if you are interested.
A frontal system is not required. The system design of Ambiance will change depending on the application needs. In applications where amplification and object-based mixing are needed, an L-ISA Frontal System is typically required and will also be a part of the Ambiance system.
Every Ambiance system must be validated to determine if your existing system is appropriate for Ambiance. There are many factors that can influence this – the venue’s architectural constraints, the natural acoustic response of the room, assessment of unwanted reflections, existing equipment, etc. It is very likely that additional speakers may be needed for Ambiance, in addition to physical treatment if a space’s natural acoustics are too reverberant.
The Ambiance team chooses the appropriate type and specification for the microphones used.
There are certain architectural criteria that need to be validated to qualify for Ambiance. Many spaces will achieve enhanced acoustic performance and variability with Ambiance. Our team will help you determine the viability of the space.
Ambiance cannot reduce the natural Reverberation Time of a space. Physical treatment such as panels and curtains for absorption and diffusion are needed to create the ideal natural response of the space to allow Ambiance to work in conjunction with the natural room response and augment it further. Work with your acoustical consultant and out team to create the optimum solution.
Ambiance does not have noise canceling properties.
No, Ambiance is a standalone license that can be added to the L-ISA Processor II and can work with any Live output license depending upon the needs of the system design of the project in question.
Hybrid acoustic enhancement combines the best of both worlds of acoustic technologies: using both in-line and regenerative acoustic technologies to create and reproduce reverberation, using a combination of microphones and DSP to create a flexible system that creates a wide range of acoustic possibilities, from natural acoustics of a space to those with large Reverberation Times for creativity.
Also known as a ‘feedback system’, regenerative acoustics uses microphones to capture the acoustic energy within a space, where the signals are sent to a multi-channel loudspeaker system. Amplitude controls the level of these reproduced signals to create reflections. As energy is increased, microphones may also capture this energy, which gets further redistributed to the loudspeakers, allowing for the reproduction and extension of reflections and reverberation. Regenerative acoustics create a high degree of naturalness in its reflections but may be limited in extending reverberation time before inducing feedback.
Using DSP and reverberator units, microphones capture acoustic energy sent to electronics that manipulate the audio to artificially create reflections and reverberations distributed to a multi-channel loudspeaker system. A standard example of a simple in-line approach is a microphone signal sent to a reverb unit or plugin on a console. In-line acoustics can create unique reverb spaces easily but may struggle to create a high level of naturalness.
