Smart active monitors Genelec are helping Sound360 create the first studio 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos from South Korea.

“Recording room is designed for Dolby Atmos 3D audio and immersive sound recording and mixing”, explains Ha Neul Lee, audio engineer responsible for stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes at Audioguy. “The reverberation time and acoustic treatment of the studio were also calibrated for the mix in 360 degrees with surround sound monitors”.

The decision to create an immersive recording space was based on the belief that this is the direction it is moving in, while the format 9.1.6 was selected for its ability to deliver 3D mixing across popular consumer devices.

“Now that immersive audio is available, Dolby Atmos is one of several immersive audio formats that Sound360 offers. The mixtures that are created with the system 9.1.6 here in the studio, can be easily enjoyed using a simple stereo system such as that found on a mobile device. This compatibility is finally making 3D audio more accessible to the public, and it's becoming popular.", Choi adds..

The room is custom designed for immersive sound recording and mixing. In fact, The reverberation time and acoustic treatment of the studio were also calibrated for the mix in 360 degrees with surround sound monitors.

When choosing monitors for this study, Sound360 opted for Genelec. “Their monitors offer consistent sound not only at high volumes, but also relatively low, so I can get the right balance of each instrument in the mix.”, explains Choi..

Genelec The Ones Monitors

Sound360 worked hand in hand with the local Genelec distributor, Sama Sound, to create the configuration 9.1.6 from his studio.

Ha Neul Lee, engineer responsible for the installation, provide more details: “By using Genelec smart active monitors with GLM, we have been able to calibrate the monitoring systems to obtain consistent sound from room to room. We were even able to fix the acoustic issues while working on consistent sound.”.

Currently, artists like Blackpink, ITZY, Twice, ACMU, LISA, Stayc, Gasoline, Treasure, Fisherman, BewhY, Giriboy, Sumin and Guckkasten are producing or recording their new releases at Sound360.
