Soundelux is an audio post production company based in Hollywood, CA. Founded by Lon Bender and Wylie Stateman in 1982, Soundelux is currently a member of the CSS Studios, LLC consortium of sound companies.

The post production services company provides audio services to clients working in feature films. Soundelux sound designers and mixers have earned nominations and honors from the Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, British Academy Awards and Golden Reel Awards.

History

Lon Bender and Wylie Stateman founded Soundelux in 1982.

On June 9th, 2000, Liberty Media Group acquired the post production and sound business of Soundelux Entertainment Group for $90M cash, a deal that replaced one agreed to in July of 1999 for stock then valued at $70.3M. The purchase also included Soundelux’s location-based entertainment and theater design business, which was excluded in the earlier agreement.

In 2002, Liberty Media Group rebranded itself as Ascent Media Group. The move was made to raise the company’s profile in Hollywood. At the same time, the company was split into three divisions: Ascent Media Creative Services, Ascent Media Network Services and Ascent Media Management Services. Soundelux is part of the Creative Services division, along with Todd-AO, Riot, Company 3, Method, Encore, Level 3 and POP.

In October of 2008, the Creative Sound Services group broke away from Ascent Media Group and the Discovery Holding Company to create CSS Studios, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Discovery Communications.

Services

Soundelux offers sound supervision, sound design and sound editorial for feature films. The company also boasts a library of unique sound effects that includes 400,000 original tracks.

Eddy Joseph, the facility’s leading creative force, has been nominated for multiple BAFTA and MPSE Awards. His work on the James Bond film Quantum of Solace earned him an Academy Award nomination. In 2009, Joseph was awarded Best UK Film Sound Editor/Designer at the UK Screen Sound Awards.
