L-ISA Immersive

Experience Sound Without Limits

“The technology of the [Al Wasl Dome] had to be at the forefront. Expo 2020 wanted this to be a fully flexible, functional system. Originally a background and foreground system, they soon realized that, with the dream of having incredible immersive content, they had to uplift the audio to match the video.”

L-ISA Immersive is a spatial audio solution that transcends traditional surround sound, creating a truly immersive 3D audio environment. By strategically placing speakers all around the audience, including surround and often overhead speakers, L-ISA empowers sound designers to craft dynamic spatial audio experiences. This allows for sonic world-building that transports listeners inside their creation. With L-ISA, audiences step into another reality, connecting with spatial audio in a way that transcends conventional setups. Whether a live performance or an immersive art installation, L-ISA Immersive brings unparalleled sonic depth and creativity to venues worldwide.

Benefits of L-ISA Immersive

L-ISA Immersive is spatial audio that creates a complete 3D sonic environment that surrounds the listener, going beyond the confines of a traditional stage. This allows for a more profound sense of immersion and “being there” within the soundscape.

L-ISA Immersive excels at crafting immersive sonic worlds, making it ideal for applications like museum exhibits, themed attractions, and experiential art installations where the goal is to transport the listener to another place or time through sound.

With Immersive, sound can originate from anywhere within the 3D space, not just from the stage. This allows for greater creative freedom in sound design and a more realistic and engaging listening experience.

Immersive can be implemented with a variety of speaker setups, including surround and overhead speakers, to suit different venue sizes and configurations. This makes it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

By enveloping the audience in sound and creating a sense of presence, Immersive can deepen audience engagement and emotional connection with the experience, whether it’s a musical performance, artistic installation, or interactive exhibit.

The Magic Behind L-ISA Immersive

Sound System

A multi-channel speaker configuration employing a specific combination of speaker models and amplifiers to achieve consistent coverage and SPL throughout the listening area. The speaker layout includes frontal, lateral, and overhead arrays, enabling precise localization of sound sources.

Processing

A dedicated hardware platform with software that facilitates object-based mixing and spatial audio rendering. It features advanced algorithms for source localization, room compensation, and immersive audio processing, allowing for dynamic control of individual sound objects within a 3D soundscape.

Content

Audio content from both live sources (microphones, instruments) and pre-recorded material is processed and spatialized. The system supports various input formats and provides tools for managing and manipulating audio objects within the L-ISA environment. This enables seamless live performances and pre-produced content integration for a cohesive, immersive experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, L-ISA immersive solutions can consist of a lateral speaker configuration only. 
Yes, L-ISA Immersive solution can have elevation loudspeakers above the audience plane, as well it's possible to have loudspeakers below the audience plane to increase immersion and realism.
Yes, Dolby Atmos can integrate with L-ISA by using dedicated hardware that can decode Atmos content which can be played back in an L-ISA System.  
Any L-Acoustics loudspeaker may be used within an L-ISA system, with the selection depending on the needs and performance requirements of the project, which can be defined and validated within Soundvision. For optimal results. 
No. Due to the ecosystem of L-ISA, utilizing Soundvision as a key tool in the design and validation process, we cannot guarantee the behavior and response of other manufacturer’s loudspeakers, which may compromise the stability and immersive potential of the system as a whole.  
Yes L-ISA Immersive and L-ISA Hyperreal can be combined. With the benefits of Hyperreal and Immersive it creates the ideal listening experience.
Yes, many L-ISA immersive experiences use pre-recorded and rendered content, if the immersive experience has a spatial resolution of less than 16 it is even possible to use L-ISA STUDIO to generate the content. 
Yes, L-ISA Solutions can interact with many third-party devices, including trackers, media servers, DAW’s, and custom applications. 
Yes, by using L-ISA Studio and the Desktop Processor, the L-ISA mix and its outputs can be rendered into a Dolby Atmos ADM File targeted for distribution and playback
Yes, Dolby Atmos can integrate with L-ISA by using dedicated hardware that can decode Atmos content which can be played back in an L-ISA System.
