L-Acoustics Announces New Global Education Partner Program

ProSoundWeb: L-Acoustics has launched the L-Acoustics Education Partner Program, an initiative designed to bridge the gap between academic audio education and professional practice. The program partners with leading universities worldwide to integrate L-Acoustics professional training and certification into academic curricula, helping to ensure students graduate with both theoretical knowledge and practical, industry-recognized expertise.

This is super exciting to read about as this applies to my age range and niche. L-acoustics has become more and more of a name that I have heard through research and conversation with other people. I’m excited that universities are getting professional training for their students in specific companies. This is a huge addition to your skill set and ability to work in different situations. It can be really hard to actually gain practical skill while in school. It is a whole second side of audio apart from the theory. I appreciate that L-acoustics has recognized this and is tailoring what they are offering to achieve a comprehensive understanding of how professional audio functions. What’s more, L-acoustics will gain more clients and recognition as more students are trained and comfortable with their products. I hope that they will continue to partner with more universities to keep their influence growing. I would love to learn more about their speakers and what sets them apart from other speaker companies and manufacturers.

I am in love with this new movement in the art world that bridges the gap, making theatre and knowledge more accessible. I saw that last week with the online sound design courses, the week before with reduced ticket prices, and now with the L-Acoustics program. I can’t emphasize enough how important real, hands-on experience is as someone who is interested in sound design. I also hope that in the future we can destigmatize the negative correlation between age and experience with work quality; just because I am younger and do not know as much, that does not mean I am incapable of doing high quality work, I just need someone to take the time to teach me. In high school, I interned with a professional production company. And don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful to have that opportunity and learn from all of the talented designers. However, 95% of my time was spent watching the board op and designer make changes on the mixing console during tech week. While I theoretically learned a lot of things, I was never able to put them into practice; which is why the integration of hands-on experience is so important.
