Featuring a design based on input from L-Acoustics technicians and utilizing Soundvision design software, Studio One has a complete 7.1.0 immersive sound system in place. The space, built out and equipped by Boulevards Carroll's own AJ Nittoli, Daryl Moore, Jake Hertzog, and Joe Smith, is ideal for sound designers, audio mixers, and other technicians who are rapidly making L-ISA the premier immersive sound platform for the theater market.

"The L-ISA technology installed in Studio One will be used for multiple applications, but primarily for Broadway engineers to come in to experience the system-to hear, to learn, and mix," says Anthony Cioffi, President at Boulevard Carroll Entertainment Group. "With L-Acoustics staff, we'll be conducting the hands-on training, giving people direct experience with L-ISA processing technology and showing them how realistic it can be. Immersive sound is the future for Broadway and theatre, and sound designers and creators can discover that future here. I believe this technology will eventually be in every theatre-as audiences demand better sound, they're also seeking a more engaging experience. Immersive sound is that experience."

Broadway is a main market for us here, and we've consulted with sound designers and engineers about what they want in a space for immersive sound," explains Anthony Fischetta, Boulevard Carroll Entertainment Group's CFO. "Just as importantly, professionals already using L-ISA can come here from other major theatre centers. such as London, and simply plug their files in. We're offering a similar experience to what L-Acoustics has in Westlake Village, California, or in its London Highgate showroom. Engineers have complete project mobility-they can start work elsewhere and finish with us, or begin here and complete anywhere, all using the same technical platform."

Fischetta adds that the facility also has the same high-input-count DiGiCo and Yamaha consoles that are routinely found on Broadway's technical riders, as well as MADI, Dante connectivity, and Dolby Atmos compliance. "Now with L-ISA, we're ready to fulfill. every need for a production's sound, he says.

L-Acoustics L-ISA has already made its mark on Broadway audio. I was a key component in the sound design of The Outsiders, for which Cody Spencer won a Tony Award for Best Sound Design of a Musical. Boulervard Carroll's 7.1.10 L-Acoustics setup is installed in an acoustically valid rehearsal space, one of several there that are designed to accommodate Broadway rehearsals, from backers' auditions to full dress run-throughs.
The L-ISA system's loudspeaker complement comprises seven X8i frontal speakers, six X61 side and rear speakers, four 5XT overheads, and a pair of KS21i subwoofers. An L-ISA Processor II facilitates immersive processing, while power is furnished by one LA7.16i and one LA2Xi amplified controller.

Studio One will offer the ability to preview how shows will benefit from immersive audio and fine-tune a production-specific design. "I believe that with most new shows, sound engineers will ask for immersive systems," states Cioffi. "They want the best experience. Shows are commanding top dollar, and they need to deliver on that promise. Immersive sound is the future of theatrical sound in the Broadway market, and with Studio One and L-ISA we have positioned ourselves as the destination to facilitate that."
