Immersive Audio for the Modern Era
The facility upgraded its main mixing stage to support immersive audio formats, specifically Dolby Atmos. The decision followed industry trends toward immersive sound across Netflix, Facebook, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. We partnered with Meyer Sound and architect Francis Manzella of FM Design to create a theatrical and home theater-capable mixing environment.
Final Speaker Configuration
- 3 screen channels (LCR)
- 12 surround speakers
- 8 height speakers
- 2 surround subs
- 4 LFE subs
Construction Process
The renovation involved extensive work: dismantling existing walls, installing new speaker boxes, modifying the soffit for truss installation, and mounting height speakers. Key equipment included the Avid MTRX for I/O and DAD SPQ speaker processing card.
Commissioning
Meyer Sound’s Miles Rogers and Bryan Pennington conducted five-day calibration testing, creating profiles for Dolby Theatrical Atmos, Dolby Home Theater Atmos, 7.1, 5.1, and stereo formats. Additional Meyer X800 C subwoofers were installed for improved headroom.
The result is one of the most capable Dolby Atmos mixing environments in the Dallas—Fort Worth region, ready to handle feature films, streaming content, and immersive commercial work.
