L-Acoustics announced Source Intelligence, a proprietary voice-separation technology that delivers clearer, more intelligible vocals and unprecedented gain before feedback for live performances. Running as an exclusive licensed application on the L-ISA Processor II and fully integrated in the L-Acoustics system workflow, Source Intelligence gives front-of-house engineers mixing on an L-Acoustics PA a groundbreaking tool to clean up vocals from noisy stages and allow performers to move freely across any stage configuration, including in front of the PA, without risking feedback or sacrificing vocal clarity. Source Intelligence delivers clearer, more intelligible vocals without the need for aggressive EQ, gates, thresholds, or reactive processing. This results in dramatically increased gain before feedback, and a crystal clear vocal mix that loses none of the emotional impact or intimacy of the performance. With greater vocal isolation and unrivalled audio quality, engineers gain the freedom to mix more creatively, while performers and presenters have the freedom to move anywhere on stage without sacrificing clarity, presence, or risk of feedback.

The technology launched at the L-Acoustics Keynote 2026 alongside the L1 large-format line array system and CS1 subwoofer. During the event, the company unveiled its next-generation professional audio technologies, featuring live demonstrations and a performance by the band The War on Drugs.
