Expanding the range of luxury audio solutions inaugurated with the Island concept, and a whole catalog of products managed under its Creations division, L-Acoustics now created a new systems approach to leverage its cutting-edge technologies, solutions and services. By integrating discreet in-wall speakers, high-power amplification, and advanced spatial audio processing, HYRISS delivers concert-level sound quality while maintaining aesthetic elegance. This allows for the creation of "living spaces that engage all senses, providing a richer, more immersive experience that touches the soul," the company describes.
HYRISS leverages core L-Acoustics technologies, starting with its L-ISA immersive sound processing that precisely positions instruments in the space, mimicking live concert settings. Adding another level of optimization, Ambiance active acoustics uses state-of-the-art sensing microphones and the L-ISA Processor II to transform room acoustics. And finally, HYRISS is powered by Anima, a suite of processing software featuring advanced algorithms and machine learning to localize, spatialize, separate, and immerse audio content beyond its original design.
As L-Acoustics also details, HYRISS will support a wide range of audio formats, from mono to expansive Dolby Atmos soundscapes and beyond. Its high-resolution, three-dimensional network of loudspeakers provides exceptional listening conditions and absolute acoustic comfort. At the same time, the system can enhance voice for presentations, immerse listeners in music through chosen speakers, and dynamically adapt a space's acoustics for various activities.
"In an era where visual design often takes center stage, HYRISS elevates the ambiance of our most cherished living and gathering spaces by making sound an integral part of the environment. This innovative system combines L-Acoustics' cutting-edge hardware, software, and services to create adaptable, high-quality sound environments suitable for a wide range of applications, from luxurious residences and yachts to high-end hospitality and corporate settings," the announcement says.
"For too long, the audio experience has been secondary to visual aesthetics in the design of spaces," says Scott Sugden, Director of Product Management Solutions at L-Acoustics. "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."
Although the technical details of this new system are still undisclosed - likely to be revealed at ISE 2025 - L-Acoustics says that a fundamental aspect of HYRISS is the ability to fully control of the sonic environment, from creating serene atmospheres for relaxation to transforming spaces into dynamic entertainment venues. In the dedicated HYRISS page of its website, the French company shows its ultra-shallow Soka colinear source wall speakers and companion subwoofer SB6i, designed for installation applications, and which not surprisingly are specified together with the LA7.16i amplified controller for L-ISA Ambiance virtual acoustics enhancement systems.
With this fully integrated combination of immersive audio and active acoustics, HYRISS eliminates the need for dedicated media rooms by allowing a single space to effortlessly become a concert hall, sports stadium, or cinema, in a luxury residential project, or an events room.
"The true magic of HYRISS lies in its unparalleled flexibility. A space equipped with HYRISS can effortlessly transition between various acoustic environments, from a serene atmosphere for relaxation or meditation to a dynamic entertainment space, ensuring that the auditory environment always matches the intended use of the space and the desired emotional impact," Sugden adds.
"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."
Each HYRISS installation will be crafted and certified by L-Acoustics, which will collaborate with qualified system integrators and end-users to define desired experiences, operational conditions, and budget. Every systems being a personalized solution optimized for each unique space.
L-Acoustics says that the HYRISS solution is now available for custom installations. Anyone interested in having a preview of the possibilities is invited to visit the HYRISS London showroom, also the city where the company primarily promotes its unique luxury audio systems.
