Upgrading the Primary Sound Design Suite
Control Room A functions as the primary sound design suite at Dallas Audio Post, where I conduct most of my work. During February, this facility underwent substantial enhancements.
New Monitors
The front LCR loudspeakers received an upgrade to Genelec 1238A speakers, the largest 3-way speaker that Genelec makes. These speakers feature onboard room calibration stored in RAM, ensuring consistent and accurate monitoring across any acoustic environment.
New Control Surface
The C24 was replaced with a pair of Avid S1 mixing surfaces and an Avid Dock, bringing the latest EuCon automation workflow to the control room. The S1 surfaces provide tactile fader control with tight Pro Tools integration, while the Dock adds transport controls and monitoring functions.
Expanded I/O
The facility expanded Dante infrastructure by installing an MTRX interface, adding dozens more channels of I/O over Dante. This makes Control A one of the most capable and flexible suites in the region, able to handle complex routing scenarios and large-format sessions.
These upgrades ensure we’re equipped to handle the most demanding sound design and mixing work for years to come.
