The company reports that this will translate to a 20% decrease in transport cost, given that more L1 units can fit into trucks and storage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCrucially, L-Acoustics produces 30% fewer carbon emissions when manufacturing the new L1 compared to products of equal power and performance. The entire production process for the new system also requires 40% less wood, 60% less metal and 50% less paint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt\u2019s good news for live crews, too, who will have an easier time setting up the line array. L Acoustics reports that the L1 design is three times faster to deploy, requiring 66% fewer rigging actions compared to the competition. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAt the Hollywood Bowl keynote, L-Acoustics also unveiled another new product called Source Intelligence, a machine learning technology that, in real-time, minimizes the background noise picked up by a vocalist\u2019s microphone, an issue commonly known as sound bleed.
