The Outsiders musical at Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway is the first Broadway show to use L-Acoustics new L Series loudspeakers.
Sound Designer Cody Spencer uses L-Acoustics L-ISA immersive audio technology for The Outsiders.
L Series speakers use up to 60% less material and 30% less space compared to similar sound power and coverage speakers.
The new L2 speaker is the ultimate accomplishment of 30 years of technology improvements on the line array.
“We realized we could eliminate the articulation of the line array and fine tune coverage with electronics and software.” - Laurent Vaissié, L-Acoustics CEO.
“The L series speaker gave us three more rows of coverage in front of the orchestra over traditional line array loudspeakers.” - Cody Spencer, Sound Designer for The Outsiders.
L Series speakers are currently on tour with Italian hip-hop duo Coez & Frah Quintale and will be used on Sarah McLachlan's 2024 tour.
“We could have more L2 speakers, but we're trying to balance between the needs for rental companies and installation projects.” - Laurent Vaissié
