President and Founder, L‑Acoustics
A passion for live music, further fueled by the inspiring sound design of Pink Floyd circa 1977, led quantum physics researcher Christian Heil to pursue a vocation that would become his life’s work: developing sound solutions to elevate the listening experience. Heil founded L‑Acoustics in 1984 and would revolutionize the live audio industry in the 1990s with the introduction of the line source technology that improves sound control over audiences of any scale. With the introduction of L‑ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology in 2016, L‑Acoustics aims to once again transform how the world experiences music in both live and recorded environments.
