Lewis CaliburnL-Acoustics has announced that L-Acoustics DJ will be available to buy from October 30, 2025, with hands-on demonstrations taking place during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) from October 22-24. Shipments of the spatial audio system will begin in early 2026.
First announced in May 2025, L-Acoustics DJ is the first complete solution that transforms traditional stereo DJ setups into fully immersive spatial audio experiences, without disrupting existing workflows.
Using proprietary Source Separate technology, the system employs low-latency machine learning to separate stereo tracks into discrete stems (beats, basslines, melodies, vocals) in real time, allowing DJs to position and move these elements throughout the physical space as they perform.
“Working with L-Acoustics DJ opens a whole new dimension to my performances,” says Max Cooper, who demonstrated the system at L-Acoustics Keynote 2025. “What I appreciate most is how it fits right into my existing setup and immediately I can place drums, melodies, and vocals throughout the entire space in real time.”
In May 2024, The Other Side became the world’s first nightclub to install L-ISA Immersive Sound Technology – a complete 360° immersive 14.1.5 configuration. The venue is now also the first club equipped with L-Acoustics DJ, providing the perfect testing ground for this technology.
