From L-acoustics website —
In September 1984, Dr. Christian Heil, a French physicist
in the field of elementary particles but with a passion
for sound, creates an electro-acoustic engineering firm
named C.HEIL.TEA, later to be renamed L-ACOUSTICS. In October
1994, a North American licensee company called Cox Audio
Engineering (later renamed L-ACOUSTICS US) is founded by
Jeffrey Cox and Christian Heil, bringing V-DOSC and WST
to the North American continent.
L-ACOUSTICS V-DOSC® is the first full frequency line
source array based on the principles of Wavefront Sculpture
Technology.
* V-DOSC is a French acronym . The "V" in V-Dosc
refers to the V-shaped acoustic lens configuration employed
for the mid and high frequency sections. The "DOSC"
stands for "Diffuseur d'Onde Sonore Cylindrique"
(Cylindrical Sound Wave Generator).
* Wavefront Sculpture Technology : Design and operating
principles behind L-ACOUSTICS line source array systems,
resulting from (WST) comprehensive theoretical research
to determine the requirements for coherent coupling of sound
sources. |
