Over the years, Showtime's partnership with L-Acoustics has proven to be a sound investment. As detailed by Marc Chauvin, Showtime's Director of Technical Operations, "In looking at our industry position, we have always been proactive about our partnerships. By being a part of the L-Acoustics provider family, we are able to leverage our experience and expertise in conjunction with the reputation and quality that L-Acoustics affords us and our clients. The support and dedication that we find from L-Acoustics as a whole, and in particular Sales Manager Jon McGarry, goes well beyond a vendor/client relationship. It is one of a complete understanding of what we need, what they can provide, and how we can all work together to elevate the client experience. Very few companies have a level of support that we are shown day in and day out, such as in the middle of the night on a Saturday, or on a holiday, or even in the random phone/email correspondences to check in -- unrelated to sales." This level of commitment has shown L-Acoustics to be an unrivaled industry connection.

Key Points: 
  • From hometown festivals to world tours, Showtime has since been working with L-Acoustics gear for well over a decade.
  • As explained by L-Acoustics, "L-ISA technology enables artists to create and deliver immersive sound for live and recorded productions of any scale.
  • Showtime Director of Operations and Production Brian Linnemann explained why adding L-ISA technology was a good move for Showtime, "L-ISA technology fits into two different segments of our business.
  • With this investment, Showtime continues to partner with L-Acoustics, now utilizing spatial audio to create immersive hyperreal experiences."
