On Thursday night M-Net (DStv 101) and The Voice South Africa revealed to a select group of media, the new stage, it's latest audio-visual set-up, as well as a brand-new state-of-the-art sound system installed inside the auditorium for the live performances and live broadcast part of the third season.
The show once again upgraded the look and sound of its stage set-up for the third season of The Voice SA - produced by BlackSwanMedia and based on the international Talpa format with director-producer Darren Hayward.
The studio audience now attending the live shows of The Voice SA will experience the spectacular and revolutionary L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology from L-Acoustics.
L-ISA is an immersive sound art system that creates a panoramic, multidimensional sound experience that delivers incredible, clear, natural audio through localised sound sources, speaker set-up and object-based sound mixing.
DStv subscribers will see the new stage of The Voice South Africa at the Mosaiek Teatro in Fairlands, Johannesburg, for the first time on Sunday 19 May with the start of the first live broadcast and first live performances in The Voice SA.
Sixteen singers will now be competing over the course of the next few weeks for viewers' votes.

SNEAK PEEK. Number 1 most favourite thing I love as a TV critic is doing set visits & seeing the art,creative work & effort people put into their shows. @MNet (@DStv 101) just allowed me to roam the new stage of @VoiceSA where the live #TheVoiceSA performances will start Sunday. pic.twitter.com/lfwIXBJUYq— TVwithThinus (@TVwithThinus) May 16, 2019
