L-Acoustics’ L-ISA spatial audio ecosystem is to come pre-loaded with Mixhalo’s proprietary wireless networking technology as part of L-ISA 3.0 release – the first external application L-Acoustics will offer via L-ISA Processor II.
Users of the L-ISA Processor II will now be able to deliver Mixhalo’s ultra-low-latency spatial audio directly to fans via their smartphones and headphones.
Mixhalo offers unprecedented fan experiences at live events by offering in-ear audio to fans to allow them to listen like the artists on stage, and also access unique mixes – like the guitar mix or drums. In live sports, teams and venues use Mixhalo to deliver multiple channels of audio content, such as home and away radio broadcasts, foreign language broadcasts and celebrity commentary that is synchronised with the live action.
Because Mixhalo’s technology automatically and dynamically time-aligns with loudspeakers, it can complement the PA, offering multiple mixes or augmenting the audio in areas of a venue that are otherwise difficult to reach.
‘I realised from the moment I first experienced Mixhalo that it had the potential to elevate and augment the listening experience at live events in a unique, transformative way,’ says L-Acoustics CEO, Laurent Vaissié. ‘Now, by pairing Mixhalo with the L-ISA Processor, we are taking those possibilities to new heights, giving partners options they never before had and supporting them as they embrace the future of live audio.’
The relationship with L-Acoustics also brings Mixhalo access to a worldwide distribution network. Additionally, where Mixhalo has historically relied on on-site engineers to deploy and custom configure hardware, the partnership with L-Acoustics will allow Mixhalo to simplify the deployment of its technology and complete the transition to a pure SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
‘L-Acoustics has spent decades establishing distribution channels across live music, sports, conferences and more,’ says Mixhalo CEO, John Vars. ‘Striking this kind of global distribution partnership with literally the best in the business, will change who and what Mixhalo fundamentally is for the better – this partnership just made Mixhalo more prolific.’
L-Acoustics and Mixhalo first collaborated in 2019 on Aerosmith’s Deuces Are Wild residency in Las Vegas, where they offered a live immersive audio experience that combined L-ISA immersive audio with a Mixhalo VIP onstage experience. In 2021, L-Acoustics became a major investor in and exclusive professional audio partner of Mixhalo.
