Harman Professional acquires Flux::
Harman Professional Solutions has entered into an agreement with Flux:: Software Engineering, a company specialising in immersive audio production, audio plug-in design and audio analysis.
Broadening Harman Professional’s offerings and also bringing together both companies’ teams of hardware and software engineers, the purchase will include Flux::’s solution across live production, content creation, installation sound and post-production.
“The Flux:: acquisition is part of a technology investment Harman Professional is making to bring outstanding immersive experiences for live and recorded productions,” said Brian Divine, president, Harman Professional Solutions. “From creation to real-time immersive delivery, we aim to empower artists, designers and engineers with a comprehensive product offering across the entire system. The foundational technology developed by the talented Flux:: team opens many opportunities for future integration with our portfolio of brands.”
France-based Flux:: was founded in 2006 by sound recording engineer and current CEO, Gaël Martinet. Now, the portfolio of nearly 20 products is used globally by talented professionals across many applications.
“The future integration of our software technology with Harman’s industry leading brands make for exciting opportunities not only for touring applications, but for installed audio where spatial audio will play an increasingly important role,” said Martinet. “We’ve been pioneering and engineering immersive audio solutions for many years and to be among these Harman brands, namely JBL, which developed some of the earliest loudspeakers, is very compelling for our team and for customers.”
Closing of the acquisition is anticipated before the end of 2023.
