INDIA: Sound.Com has reached a defining milestone in India’s professional audio rental sector by becoming the first company in the country to invest in the L-Acoustics L2 system—marking not only a national first, but also the company’s inaugural addition of L-Acoustics products to its inventory. Facilitated by Hi-Tech Audio & Image, the official distributor of L-Acoustics in India, the acquisition places Sound.com firmly at the leading edge of next-generation touring sound, at a time when production expectations across the market are escalating rapidly.

For Sound.Com’s Founder and Managing Director Warren Dsouza, the decision stemmed from what he describes as a rare technological inflection point in a career spanning over three decades in professional audio. Experiencing the L2 system, he felt it delivered an unusually musical and natural listening experience—one that transcended the conventional perception of loudspeakers. He also views the investment as the beginning of a longer journey, aligned with L-Acoustics’ roadmap for next-generation high-density progressive line arrays, and takes pride in Sound.com being part of this first chapter in India alongside Hi-Tech Audio & Image.

The newly added L-Acoustics inventory includes four L2 long-throw cabinets, four L2D full-range line source loudspeakers, and 16 KS28 subwoofers for low-frequency reinforcement, creating a powerful yet scalable system designed for large-format productions. This is supported by a robust electronics and control package comprising two LA-RAK III and one LA-RAK II AVB touring racks, a P1 processor, an LA12X amplifier, and three LA7.16 multichannel amplifier controllers—ensuring precise control, operational efficiency, and consistency across demanding touring environments.

True to its long-standing philosophy of investing ahead of the curve, Sound.com’s adoption of the L2 system reflects a strategic focus on future-ready technologies. Engineered to enhance deployment efficiency and sonic consistency for complex, large-scale events, the L2 represents a decisive shift towards next-generation line source design. As India continues to host increasingly sophisticated productions and attract a growing international clientele, the move signals more than an expansion of inventory—it underscores Sound.com’s commitment to elevating touring sound in India in line with global production standards.
