L-R: Sherif El Barbari, Dr Christian Heil and Alain Courieux.
France - L-Acoustics has announced that industry veterans Alain Courieux and Sherif El Barbari have been appointed as consultants to the loudspeaker manufacturer.

CEO Christian Heil comments: "This double appointment directly reflects our current strategy. We have initiated a process of strengthening L-Acoustics' technical support on three levels."First, we wish to reinforce technical support to both end-users and independent sound designers (consultants and mixing engineers). Second, increase and fluidify the technical feedback from the field to R&D to improve product design. And last but not least, create a research group - a sort of 'educational think tank' to develop new approaches to teaching sound design and product implementation."

Alain Courieux boasts more than 30 year experience in activities ranging from recording studio and live sound engineering to sound design and audio consultancy.

Sherif El Barbari has gathered experience in large scale touring as a freelance monitor engineer. He has collaborated with artists including Bee Gees, Genesis, Phil Collins, Prince, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart.
