Premium Audio for Hospitality: A Chat with L-Acoustics’ Scott Wakelin

L-Acoustics, always known for its premium audio products, is increasingly finding a home in hospitality settings. Here, Scott Wakelin, director of business development, hospitality, explains to Dan Ferrisi, editor-in-chief of Commercial Integrator, why performance audio can hugely benefit hospitality settings. Wakelin frames the conversation as the company taking advantage of everything it has achieved in performance venues, etc. Now, however, L-Acoustics is leveraging that knowledge to benefit hospitality venues like hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs.

This conversation, of course, stems from CI’s Performance-Audio Deep Dive, launching this month. With the Deep Dive and here, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging trends according to category leaders.

To watch the full, eight-minute video Q&A with Wakelin, check out the embedded interview below.

During the conversation, Wakelin and Ferrisi touch on several key topics involving premium audio. They include the following:

  • What inspired L-Acoustics to turn its attention to the hospitality vertical
  • L-Acoustics’ outstanding build quality, driven by the fact that its products are frequently exposed to harsh conditions
  • Why road-ready, hardy, heavily weatherized products perfectly suit hospitality settings
  • Why higher-end hospitality venues (e.g., Hard Rock, Resorts World) crave the premium audio that L-Acoustics delivers
  • L-Acoustics making a strong push into the lifestyle category with its burgeoning L-Acoustics Creations division

Of course, for details on each of those topics, including how the pandemic has raised our collective expectations for premium audio, you’ll have to check out the interview. Therefore, we encourage you to watch the full Q&A above.
