L-Acoustics and Audiologic to host integrator open day. Published 25 September 2026 [UK] Audiologic is collaborating with L-Acoustics on an integrator-focused open day at the manufacturer's Highgate showroom in London on Thursday 8 October 2026. This invitation-only event is open to integrators working across high-end residential, custom installation and specialist commercial projects. The event follows Audiologic's appointment as a certified provider distributor for L-Acoustics installation projects across the UK and Ireland. Audiologic is authorised to supply and support the L-Acoustics X Series, S Series and A Series installation loudspeaker ranges, associated subwoofers, and immersive audio technologies including L-ISA, across the UK and Ireland, enabling the company to support integrators throughout the design, specification and delivery of fixed-installation projects. The open day builds on the success of a previous event held at the Highgate showroom in July and provides another opportunity for integrators to explore L-Acoustics technologies and installation solutions firsthand. At the centre of the day is HYRISS, L-Acoustics' Hyperreal Immersive Sound Space. Attendees will also experience the wider L-Acoustics installation portfolio in both stereo and immersive configurations, including the X Series, S Series and A Series installation loudspeaker ranges, alongside Soka in-wall systems, powered by the L-ISA Processor II. The Highgate facility has been designed to reflect a real residential environment, featuring acoustically transparent fabric walls, displays presented as artwork and hardwood flooring throughout. The showroom is intended not only as a demonstration space for integrators, but also as a venue where they can confidently bring clients to experience immersive audio in a realistic setting. The day will be delivered across three separate sessions, with places deliberately limited to maintain a highly interactive and personal experience. Technical specialists from both L-Acoustics and Audiologic will be on hand throughout to discuss system design, project support and specification, with a particular focus on installation solutions. Andy Lewis, managing director, Audiologic, said: "We see a real appetite among UK integrators to hear these systems properly, in a room that makes sense. October gives us the chance to go further. HYRISS is genuinely difficult to explain on paper - it has to be experienced - and Highgate is the right place to do that. We'd encourage anyone specifying high-performance audio into premium spaces to come and spend a couple of hours with both our team and of course our colleagues and hosts for the day, the L-Acoustics team." Simon Peters, regional sales manager EMEA North, L-Acoustics, said: "The Highgate showroom was built to demonstrate what becomes possible when sound is treated as a design element rather than an afterthought. Working with Audiologic gives us a partner with the technical depth and the integrator relationships to bring the right people into that room. We're looking forward to a busy day."

L-Acoustics secures B Corp certification for global operations. Background and context. Table of Contents L-Acoustics, the France-headquartered professional audio manufacturer, has been certified as a B Corporation, joining a small group of companies in the arts and entertainment sector that meet B Lab's social and environmental performance standards. According to the company, only around 70 organizations in this sector currently hold B Corp status. More broadly, B Lab says there are now more than 10,000 Certified B Corporations operating in over 100 countries, including more than 640 in France. The certification comes as the live events industry faces growing pressure from clients, regulators and audiences to improve transparency around environmental impact, supply chains and working practices. Key announcement. L-Acoustics confirmed that it has achieved B Corp certification via B Lab's Large Enterprise and Multinational pathway, which is designed for companies with complex, multi-site operations. The assessment covers the entire L-Acoustics Group across 13 locations worldwide. B Corp status is based on a detailed, third-party evaluation of governance, worker policies, community engagement, environmental footprint and customer impact. Companies must reach a minimum verified score on the B Impact Assessment and amend their legal framework to balance profit with broader stakeholder interests. L-Acoustics CEO Hervé Guillaume said the certification reflects ongoing internal work on sustainability and governance. While this is a significant milestone, the designation requires regular reassessment, meaning the company will need to demonstrate continued progress to retain its status in future review cycles. Industry impact. For rental companies, integrators and venues, the move provides an independently audited framework against which to evaluate L-Acoustics when making purchasing or specification decisions. This may be increasingly relevant as event organizers set stricter ESG criteria for suppliers. In particular, the certification offers external validation in three areas that L-Acoustics highlights as priorities: employee wellbeing and safety; reduction of environmental impact across product lifecycles and operations; and support for culture, education and inclusion through sound-based initiatives in local communities. Other pro audio manufacturers are also exploring formal sustainability benchmarks, but B Corp remains relatively uncommon in this segment. L-Acoustics' participation could encourage further uptake of structured reporting and third-party verification across the sector. Why this matters. For event technology professionals, B Corp certification is becoming one of several reference points used to assess the broader impact of suppliers, alongside standards such as ISO environmental management frameworks and venue-level sustainability programs. As more tenders and long-term framework agreements incorporate sustainability criteria, manufacturers with recognized third-party credentials may find it easier to align with client expectations and demonstrate compliance. L-Acoustics has published additional detail on its approach and performance in a 2025 Impact Report and an accompanying short film, available via the company's corporate social responsibility section at https://www.l-acoustics.com/about-Event Technology/corporate-social-responsibility/. For the wider live events ecosystem, the announcement reflects a broader trend: sound, lighting and staging suppliers are increasingly expected not only to deliver technical performance but also to document how their operations affect people, communities and the environment.
