Singapore – L-Acoustics has held the official opening of its expanded APAC regional headquarters in Singapore, joining its major operational hubs in Paris, Los Angeles and London. The new facility includes a dedicated L-ISA Creative Studio where spatial audio mixes using L-Acoustics immersive sound technology can be created. The opening was attended by Laurent Vaissié and Hervé Guillaume, co-CEOs of L-Acoustics, and Anne Hamlett, chief people officer.
“This expansion reflects our longterm commitment to the Asia Pacific market,” commented Vaissié. “As the region’s creative and entertainment industries continue to evolve, we’re investing in the infrastructure and resources needed to support our partners’ ambitions and deliver the exceptional sound experiences that audiences have come to expect from L-Acoustics.”
Added Tim Zhou, CEO of L-Acoustics APAC: “The Asia-Pacific region represents one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing markets for live entertainment and immersive audio experiences. This expansion gives us the infrastructure to better serve our growing community of clients and partners while providing artists and creators with a dedicated space to explore spatial audio. Our L-Acoustics Creative Center is designed to be a collaborative hub where creativity meets innovation.”
Since establishing L-Acoustics Pte Ltd in Singapore in 2019, the company has expanded to 28 team members today – 19 based in Singapore and nine remote employees throughout APAC who regularly work from the regional headquarters. The new 835m2 facility provides the operational capacity needed to support continued expansion across the region.
This includes the 47m2 L-Acoustics Creative Center equipped with 23 L-Acoustics speakers arranged in a 3D configuration including frontal, surround and overhead arrays for artists, mix engineers, sound designers, DJs and content creators to create and refine spatial audio mixes in L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology, collaborate with L-Acoustics application specialists and explore new creative possibilities in immersive audio production. The space is also equipped with L-Acoustics DJ technology which allows DJs and electronic music artists to learn the technology and prepare spatial sets.
“We’re not just providing a demonstration space – we’re offering a creative production environment where artists can bring their spatial audio visions to life,” added Zhou. “Whether it’s a touring artist preparing immersive mixes for their live show, a DJ crafting a spatial set for club performances, a sound designer developing content for an installation or partners wanting to understand how L-ISA can transform their venue, this centre is designed to facilitate that creative process.”
Situated in Singapore’s creative district, the new headquarters positions L-Acoustics to collaborate more effectively with clients and partners across the region. Its proximity to Singapore’s Changi Airport facilitates client visits and project collaboration, while its connection to the company’s regional warehouse ensures efficient service delivery.
