L-Acoustics’ L-ISA technology is in high demand, which is why the French audio experts are rolling out a dedicated training program in strategic locations worldwide. 
In these so-called L-ISA Auditoria in dozens of locations, sound engineers can now access demonstrations, training or mixing sessions of the L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology.
To date, 15 L-ISA Auditoria have been completed – in addition to the facilities already in place at L-Acoustics’ head office in Marcoussis, France, its L-ISA headquarters in London’s Highgate, Delta Live in Surrey, U.K., and L-Acoustics’ U.S. office in Westlake, CA. 
The additional facilities are situated at Certified Providers Sonoruss in Moscow, Matrix in Denmark, Finland’s Audico, Seoul’s Klausys, Pro Music in Prague, Germany’s Babbel & Haeger, Groh-PA and Wilhelm & Willhalm, LMG in Orlando and New York’s See Factor, as well as with China’s Rightway in Taipei, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing.
“Over the past 12 months, we have trained 160 high-profile sound designers and mixing engineers in over 25 seminars, which is over 75 days of training in total,” said Etienne Corteel, L-Acoustics Director of Scientific Outreach & Education. 
Corteel thinks, “rolling out additional facilities allows our partners to organise training seminars at their own locations with an L-Acoustics certified trainer and represents an important next step in making L-ISA training available to a wider audience of professionals.”

L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology comes in two versions: a frontal system that delivers the resolution required for optimized source localization, immersive effect and the width required for an effective demonstration of reverb; and the same configuration plus complementary overheads which enhance the immersive experience and demonstrate the 3D capabilities for direct sound and room engine.
The L-ISA Auditoria serve as demonstration venues, training sites and are also available as a place to prepare mixes for future projects. DeltaLive in the U.K., for instance, has served as pre-production headquarters for electronic artists to prepare their immersive mix for Thailand’s Wonderfruit festival, where L-Acoustics has been demonstrating the potential of L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound for the past three years.
