Technology continues to transform the onboard experience for owners of superyachts and mega-yachts. This extends to integration of elaborate immersive sound systems, state-of-the-art home theaters, or onboard nightclubs.
A recent article by technology expert Steve May published in BOAT International underscores that, “Integrators and yacht builders are increasingly pushing the sonic envelope, much to the delight of owners.” Among the high end sound systems featured is Island Prestige, the 360° immersive sound lounge designed by L-Acoustics Creations which invites guests to relax and enjoy favorite music of movies in lossless or spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround or DTS, whether on land or at sea.
