LARES is an electronic sound enhancement system that uses microprocessors to control multiple loudspeakers and microphones placed around a performance space for the purpose of providing active acoustic treatment. LARES was invented in Massachusetts in 1988, by engineers working at Lexicon, Inc.

LARES was given its own company division in 1988: LARES Associates. Since then, hundreds of LARES systems have been used in concert spaces and performance venues, from temporary outdoor music festivals to permanent indoor symphony halls.

The LARES system has been incorporated into prefabricated practice room products offered by Wenger Corporation, and related sound-shaping algorithms, based on the LARES research, have been implemented by Lexicon for home and professional listening spaces. In 2008, LARES was reorganized into E-coustic Systems, offering the familiar LARES products alongside new conference room and sound reinforcement systems.
