®

 consists in providing packaged solutions for loudspeaker system in 

order  to  guarantee  the  highest  and  most  predictable  level  of  performance  at  any  step:  modeling,  installation,  and 
operation. An L-ACOUSTICS

®

 loudspeaker system is the set of components available to form any loudspeaker system 

based  on  one  of  the  full-range  loudspeaker  enclosure  afforded  by  L-ACOUSTICS

®

.  It  includes  enclosures,  rigging 

accessories, loudspeaker cables, amplified controllers, and software applications.  
 
The main components involved in the rigging process of an
