HARMAN Professional Solutions, one of the global leaders in audio, lighting, and video and
control
technologies, announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire FLUX SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
("FLUX::"), pioneers in immersive audio production, audio processing plug-in design, and
audio
analysis.
The acquisition will broaden HARMAN Professional's offerings across multiple applications with
world-class immersive technology, in addition to establishing a foundation for future innovation by
bringing together FLUX::'s team with the hardware and software engineers of HARMAN Professional.
When closed, the purchase will include FLUX::'s immersive, processing, and analysis solutions across
live production, installation sound, content creation, 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."
"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 Gael Martinet, Founder and CEO of FLUX
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING. "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.
