L-Acoustics Brings Revolutionary Immersive Sound Technology to III Points' S3QU3NC3 Stage

For the past eight years, L-Acoustics has been quietly revolutionizing the audio experience at III Points Festival. This year, they're taking it to another level. The S3QU3NC3 stage will debut L-Acoustics DJ, a groundbreaking technology that transforms how you experience electronic music at a festival.

Imagine this: you're on the dancefloor, and suddenly the drums are circling around you. The vocals drift to the back of the space. The bass moves through the crowd in rhythm with the beat. All of it happening live, in real-time, controlled by the DJ as they read the energy of the room.

That's exactly what L-Acoustics DJ delivers.

Eight Years of Innovation at III Points

L-Acoustics isn't new to Mana Wynwood. The French audio company, which invented the modern line array systems you see at every major festival worldwide, has powered all III Points stages since 2017. Their systems have been on tour with everyone from Madonna and The Weeknd to Adele and Lorde, and they're the audio choice for festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza.

This year's S3QU3NC3 stage represents their most ambitious festival deployment yet.

The Magic Behind the Sound

The technology sounds like science fiction but it's very real. L-Acoustics DJ uses advanced machine learning algorithms to take a standard stereo DJ mix and separate it into discrete elements in real-time. Vocals, drums, bass, and everything else get split apart instantly, with zero audio quality loss.

The DJ gets a simple hardware controller (about the size of a MacBook) and an iPad visualizer. From there, they can move different elements of their music around the space, create movement patterns that sync with the tempo, or set a "mood" that fills the venue with spatial audio automatically. The entire onboarding process takes just a few minutes, so DJs can jump right in without disrupting their creative workflow.

Scott Sugden, Director of Product Marketing Solutions at L-Acoustics, explains the philosophy: "Over the last decade, the DJ experience from a lighting and visual perspective has really grown and transformed. Now we see utterly incredible lighting experiences, immersive video experiences, and sound was still just coming from two speakers. This technology allows audio to finally catch up."

What You'll Experience

The S3QU3NC3 stage will run an 8.1 configuration with eight hangs of L2D arrays positioned around the space. Instead of sound just blasting from the front, you'll be completely surrounded. DJs can make drums ping-pong around the room, send vocals swirling through the crowd, or build tension by pulling sounds away before dropping them back in.

The best part is that DJs can control all of this on the fly, responding to the crowd's energy in real-time. Some artists will dive deep into the spatial controls, choreographing elaborate sound movements. Others will set it to a mood and let the algorithm enhance their set naturally. Either way, you're experiencing something that simply wasn't possible before.

The technology has already turned heads at other festivals. At Bonnaroo's Infinity Stage, attendees who experienced it inside the dome couldn't stop talking about the immersive sound quality. A club in Amsterdam called The Other Side has installed the system permanently, and Miami venues are reportedly next in line.

Beyond S3QU3NC3

The immersive experience extends beyond just one stage. All other III Points stages will feature the full spectrum of L-Acoustics' renowned systems in stereo configuration, including K1, K2, Kara, and L2 speakers, plus their powerful KS28 subwoofers.

The Bottom Line

Electronic music has always been about pushing boundaries and creating new experiences. L-Acoustics DJ represents the next evolution, giving artists a new dimension to play with beyond just volume, tempo, and tone.

When you're at S3QU3NC3 this weekend, pay attention. Feel how the sound moves around you. Notice when a DJ pulls something into the back of the space or sends drums circling around the crowd. This is audio innovation happening in real-time, and you're experiencing something that's about to change the club and festival world forever.
