INNOVATION IS THE KEY
Dolby Atmos Mixing Stage
The Dolby Atmos mixing stage meets the strict criteria of Dolby Home Theatre Studio certification. This ensures that all parameters meet the standards for the most immersive sound in Dolby Atmos for your project.
Mix formats include Atmos, 7.1, 5.1, and Atmos Home Entertainment.
The Avid S6-M40 console is equipped with display modules, dedicated EQ and dynamics sections, and a Post module. All powerful Pro Tools systems are easily accessible via an IHSE KVM matrix.
Perfect image quality is achieved with a JVC DLA 4K projector and a Severtson SAT-4K woven projection screen.
Room acoustics, monitoring, equipment and installation standards, mixing competence, and technical competence are all measured and evaluated as part of the certification process.
The studio has been designed by Donato Masci from Studio Sound Service and calibrated by Marco Stefani from Dolby Italy.

Featuring Pro Tools HD workstations and comprehensive sound libraries, our suites create unmatched audio quality that captivates audiences and sounds exactly as it should when it reaches your ears.
