SYSTEM COMPONENTS 

The system approach developed by L-ACOUSTICS

®

 consists in offering a global solution that  guarantees the highest 

and most predictable level of performance at any step of loudspeaker system deployment: modeling, installation and 

operation.  A  complete  L-ACOUSTICS

®

  system  includes  enclosures,  amplified  controllers,  cables,  rigging  system  and 

software applications.  

2.1
