Revolutionary hyperreal immersive sound system HYRISS brings sound to the centre of spaces designed for living and gathering says L-Acoustics.
L-Acoustics has unveiled HYRISS (Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space), described as a groundbreaking audio solution set to redefine how users experience spaces through sound. L-Acoustics says HYRISS represents a paradigm shift in design, elevating the role of audio to match the importance of visual aesthetics in creating truly immersive, emotionally resonant environments.
In an era where visual design often takes centre stage, HYRISS elevates the ambiance of cherished living and gathering spaces by making sound an integral part of the environment. This new system combines L-Acoustics’ hardware, software and services to create adaptable, high-quality sound environments suitable for a wide range of applications, from luxurious residences and yachts to high-end hospitality and corporate settings.
“For too long, the audio experience has been secondary to visual aesthetics in the design of spaces,” says Scott Sugden, Director of Product Management, Solutions at L-Acoustics. “With HYRISS, we’re changing that narrative. We’re providing designers, architects and engineers with the tools to create spaces that are as sonically captivating as they are visually stunning, evoking profound emotions and creating exceptional experiences through the art of sound.”
Sound: An Integral Part of Your Life
HYRISS enables full control of the sonic environment, from creating serene atmospheres for relaxation to transforming spaces into dynamic entertainment venues, says the concepts creators. It has been created to eliminate the need for dedicated media rooms by allowing a single space to effortlessly become a concert hall, sports stadium, or cinema.
Sound Experiences – Reinvented
HYRISS supports a wide range of audio formats, from mono to Dolby Atmos soundscapes and beyond. Its high-resolution, three-dimensional network of loudspeakers provides exceptional listening conditions and absolute acoustic comfort, says the manufacturer. The system can enhance voice for presentations, immerse listeners in music through chosen speakers, and dynamically adapt a space’s acoustics for various activities.
By integrating discreet in-wall speakers, high-power amplification, and advanced spatial audio processing, HYRISS is capable of concert-level sound quality while maintaining aesthetic elegance. This seamless integration allows for the creation of living spaces that engage all senses, providing a richer, more immersive experience that the company hopes will ‘touch the soul’.
The Technology Behind HYRISS
HYRISS leverages three core L-Acoustics technologies:
• L-ISA precisely positions instruments in space, mimicking live concert settings.
• Ambiance uses state-of-the-art sensing microphones and the L-ISA Processor II to transform room acoustics.
• Anima uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to localise, spatialise, separate and immerse audio content beyond its original design, transforming ordinary sound and music into extraordinary experiences
The true magic of HYRISS according to its creator lies in its flexibility. A space equipped with HYRISS can transition between various acoustic environments, from a serene atmosphere for relaxation or meditation to a dynamic entertainment space, ensuring that the auditory environment always matches the intended use of the space and the desired emotional impact.
“HYRISS transforms static spaces into dynamic experiences, matching the mood of every occasion and creating a true temple for sound,” Scott adds. “With HYRISS, every space becomes a stage for extraordinary auditory experiences, capable of stirring deep emotions and creating lasting memories.”
Experience The Best Sound
To deliver one of these systems, L-Acoustics collaborates with qualified system integrators and end-users to define desired experiences, operational conditions, and budget, ensuring a personalised solution optimized for each unique space.
With HYRISS, L-Acoustics says it is pioneering a new approach to spatial design where sound plays a central role in creating emotionally poignant environments. The HYRISS solution is now available for custom installations to dealers and end users.
