L-Acoustics expands APAC HQ, adds new L-ISA Creative Studio for spatial audio

L-Acoustics has expanded its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore, unveiling a significantly larger facility that includes a purpose-built creative space for immersive audio production. The move reflects sustained regional growth for the professional audio manufacturer and adds new resources for artists, integrators and partners working with spatial sound technologies.

The company, which has been operating from Singapore since 2019, has grown to a 28-strong APAC team and outgrown its original shared office. The new 9,000-square-foot headquarters marks a shift from early start-up-style operations to a fully fledged regional base, intended to support both commercial activity and technical collaboration. The opening was attended by co-CEOs Laurent Vaissié and Hervé Guillaume, along with Chief People Officer Anne Hamlett, underscoring the site’s strategic role alongside L-Acoustics’ hubs in Paris, Los Angeles and London.

Tim Zhou, CEO APAC, said the Asia-Pacific region continues to be one of the most active markets for live events and immersive entertainment. The expanded headquarters, he noted, is intended to bring the company closer to clients and partners, and to offer a dedicated environment where spatial audio workflows can be explored in depth.

At the heart of the new facility is the L-Acoustics Creative Studio, a 47-square-metre immersive audio space equipped with 23 L-Acoustics loudspeakers arranged across frontal, surround and overhead positions. It also houses the company’s DJ-focused immersive technology for club and festival applications. The studio is designed as a working production environment rather than a simple demonstration room, enabling mixing engineers, sound designers, DJs and content creators to experiment with L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound and develop spatial mixes for live and installation projects.

According to Zhou, the studio is intended to support a wide range of use cases, including touring artists preparing immersive show content, DJs building spatial sets, and integrators seeking to understand how L-ISA could be deployed in venues such as theatres, clubs, themed attractions and houses of worship.

For the AV channel, the expansion offers more immediate technical access to L-Acoustics’ specialists and facilities. Its location within Singapore’s creative district and close proximity to Changi Airport is expected to ease project collaboration across APAC, while links to the company’s regional warehouse are designed to streamline service and logistics.

Vaissié said the move demonstrates L-Acoustics’ long-term commitment to the region and its creative industries, pointing to the growing demand for higher-end audio experiences in entertainment and hospitality. The expanded headquarters, he added, provides the capacity to support partners as spatial audio formats continue to develop.

The new Singapore site joins the company’s global network of headquarters and strengthens its support infrastructure for the integrators, production companies and venue operators deploying L-Acoustics systems across Asia-Pacific.
