"OUTERNET, LONDON’S £1BN IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT OPENS WITH L-Acoustics L-ISA THROUGHOUT DESIGNED AND INSTALLED BY Solotech Inc., 2022- https://lnkd.in/eC4q9Fd2
At the centre of Outernet is the Now Building, an expansive indoor/outdoor space boasting 2000 square metres of 16K LED screen to show immersive content. To complement the footage over 90 L-Acoustics loudspeakers deliver L-ISA immersive audio throughout the room.
The Now Building, is used both as a walkthrough space and as a closed venue that can host art installations, live concerts, film premiers, or any event the creative mind can imagine. In either configuration, Outernet is poised to bring a magnificent real-time spatial experience to a projected number of over 400,000 people passing through the space each day."

So what sort of opportunities does the space open up to musicians and performers?
“The short answer is that you can do anything you want,” says Whittaker. “We have about 320 audio channels across the whole district and there are 96 audio channels in the main Now building. That means you can do everything from mono up to Dolby Laboratories Atmos, and then if you were to get into installation design, we have L-ISA, so you can really start designing an installation.
“What we wanted was a solution that makes it easy to do any of these things. And there is also that ability to create in an immersive space. We don’t just want flat audio. We can essentially work to a blank audio canvas.”"

The biggest challenge facing the audio installation was the structure of the spaces at Outernet. The LED screens that line the Now Building create a giant glass box. To complicate things further, two of the four sides of the screen ‘room’ can be slid aside, transforming the venue from an enclosed room to an indoor/outdoor walkthrough space.
As a result, the acoustical elements had to be carefully planned and programmed to adapt to any of the venue’s many configurations."

To ensure homogenous performance between the near-field listening positions and the far-field, the team used the new spatial fill feature of L-ISA immersive technology. Spatial fill creates a virtual replica of the L-ISA Scene System and is an effective solution where shared coverage is less optimal. Using gain/delay-based algorithms for positioning audio objects, spatial fill improves object separation, coverage, and level consistency."
