L-Acoustics, industry leaders in designing and manufacturing sound systems and technology, has shared details of its new HYRISS (Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space) solution, which transforms how we experience spaces through sound.

HYRISS represents an unprecedented advancement in design, raising audio to the same plane as visual aesthetics in the creation of immersive, emotionally resonant experiences.

Elevating spatial design

By integrating sound into the surroundings, HYRISS enhances the atmosphere of living and social spaces. L-Acoustics’ state-of-the-art hardware, software, and services are combined to produce flexible, outstanding sound environments. The solution can be used in a variety of contexts, from high-end homes and yachts to luxurious hospitality and business settings.

L-Acoustics unveils HYRISS (Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space)

Scott Sugden, director of product management, Solutions at L-Acoustics, says: “For too long, the audio experience has been secondary to visual aesthetics in the design of spaces. With HYRISS, we’re changing that narrative. We’re providing designers, architects, and engineers with the tools to create spaces that are as sonically captivating as they are visually stunning, evoking profound emotions and creating exceptional experiences through the art of sound.”

HYRISS offers complete control over the soundscape, allowing the creation of calm spaces for relaxation or vibrant entertainment venues. With this solution, it is no longer necessary to have separate media rooms as one area can be easily transformed into a movie theatre, sports stadium, or concert hall.

The system supports a wide variety of audio codecs, from mono to Dolby Atmos environments and more. Its high-resolution, three-dimensional network of loudspeakers ensures excellent listening conditions and acoustic comfort. The system can enhance voice for presentations, immerse listeners in music through selected speakers, and dynamically adjust a room’s acoustics for different activities.

HYRISS achieves concert-level sound quality while being aesthetically pleasing by combining discreet in-wall speakers, high-power amplification, and cutting-edge spatial audio processing. This seamless integration enables the creation of living spaces that engage all of the senses, resulting in a deeper, more immersive experience.

Unprecedented versatility

HYRISS utilises three core L-Acoustics technologies:

  • L-ISA. Instruments are precisely positioned in space to replicate real concert conditions.
  • Ambiance. The L-ISA Processor II and cutting-edge sensing microphones enhance room acoustics.
  • Anima. Modern algorithms and machine learning are used to localise, spatialise, segregate, and immerse audio content beyond its original design, elevating ordinary sound and music into outstanding experiences.

The key feature of HYRISS is its unprecedented adaptability. A HYRISS-equipped space may seamlessly switch between various acoustic environments, from a calm setting for relaxation or meditation to an exciting entertainment space. The system will match the auditory environment to the space’s intended use and emotional response.

Sugden says: “HYRISS transforms static spaces into dynamic experiences, matching the mood of every occasion and creating a true temple for sound. With HYRISS, every space becomes a stage for extraordinary auditory experiences, capable of stirring deep emotions and creating lasting memories.”

Every HYRISS installation is created by qualified professionals. L-Acoustics works with expert system integrators and end-users to specify desired experiences, operational factors, and budgets, resulting in a bespoke solution that is optimised for each individual location.

With HYRISS, L-Acoustics is leading the way in an innovative approach to spatial design where sound is key to producing emotionally charged environments. The HYRISS system is now available for custom installations and provides new possibilities for creating evocative, immersive, multi-sensory spaces.

Visits to the HYRISS London showroom can be requested through the L-Acoustics website.

Last month, L-Acoustics rounded off the company’s 40th anniversary year with the announcement that it had welcomed its 1,000th team memberKevin Gouriou, who joined the company as a prototypist in research and development.
