L-Acoustics establishes new Middle East Application Team

L-Acoustics debuted its recently formed Middle East, Africa & Eurasia Application Team at an exclusive technology showcase on November 5, 2025, at Dubai’s Theater of Digital Art. The event brought together more than 125 industry professionals for hands-on demonstrations and marked the first major regional appearance for the dedicated three-person team.

The new team structure is led by Mehdi Khelil, appointed Head of Application, Middle East, Africa & Eurasia, reporting to Vikram Kirby, Global Director of Application Operations. Supporting Khelil are two expert Application Engineers: Adriaan van der Walt (Application Engineer, Middle East - L-ISA) and Luke James Brookes (Application Engineer, Middle East & India).

Mehdi Khelil draws on more than fifteen years of hands-on experience in live events and audiovisual technology across the Middle East’s entertainment and events sector, most recently serving as Senior Operations Manager at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Adriaan van der Walt is an L-ISA specialist with FOH mixing experience including four years on “The Voice”. Luke James Brookes, a two-time TPI Award nominee for System Designer of the Year, previously led audio operations at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena.

The new application team will focus on technical project support, system design consultation, and advancing L-Acoustics technology adoption throughout the region - from major live events and permanent installations to luxury residential projects and next-generation entertainment venues. This strategic expansion follows the recent restructuring of L-Acoustics’ sales team under Director of Sales EMEA Tim Völker, with Chris Mead serving as Head of Sales, Middle East, India, Africa & Eurasia.
