\u2018The Best of Both Worlds\u2019<\/strong>
\n\u200bSince opening in 2007, Sweetwater Studios has rapidly grown to become an inspiring creative destination for musicians from all over the globe. Its facilities, which encompass impressive studios and live rooms, skilled engineers, experienced session players, and an extensive collection of instruments and equipment, have been designed to bring together the best classic recording gear as well as the latest in audio production technology. The re-opening of Studio B marks Sweetwater Studios\u2019 entry into the immersive audio realm, as well as a commitment to a vision for the future. \u201cThe introduction of Dolby Atmos for Music on the major streaming platforms has signaled a massive sea change in audio production,\u201d said Sweetwater Studios Producer\/Engineer Shawn Dealey. \u201cThis is the first time consumers have had access to immersive audio without needing their own surround-sound systems, and we\u2019re very excited by the possibilities this affords to recording artists to create in an immersive music environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe noticed a lack of publicly available Dolby Atmos mix rooms, especially in the Midwest, and knew we had an opportunity to fill that void while also bringing to the table what we do best \u2014 creating a fun, inspiring environment to make music in. Given the recent upgrades to Studio A \u2014 adding a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 for the full-on analogue experience \u2014 this is a way for us to offer the best of both worlds to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding the creative possibilities of Dolby Atmos<\/strong>
\n\u200bSpearheading the redesign of Studio B, Dealey worked with partners PMC to outfit the new mixing room with an amazing Dolby Atmos setup. The 9.1.4 system (9 surround channels, LFE channel, and four height channels) consists of PMC 8-2 XBD speakers to handle left\/right duties, with a PMC 8-2 in the center position. Six PMC ci65 speakers act as surrounds, with another four ci65s for height speakers. The ci65s are powered by LEA Professional Connect 704 power amplifiers. Four PMC twotwo.Sub2 subwoofers supply low end to the system’s LFE channel. The entire system is controlled through Digital Audio Denmark DADman software and an AVID S6M40 control surface via EUCON, with a JBL Synthesis SDP-55s AV receiver and a 4K Apple TV for Media Playback. \u201cPMC was the obvious choice for the speakers in our setup, as they have many years of development in the Dolby Atmos mix environment,\u201d Dealey explains. \u201cWe needed speakers that were unobtrusive and easy to mount. The fact that PMC has the CI series that are low profile and lightweight made them perfect for this application, and in conjunction with the new 8-2 XBD from their Studio line, our Dolby Atmos room sounds and looks absolutely amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that Sweetwater Studios has chosen a PMC system for its new Dolby Atmos music mixing room,\u201d said PMC USA President Maurice Patist. \u201cHere at PMC, we have been championing immersive audio for many years and, thanks to our close working relationship with Dolby, our monitoring systems are now widely regarded as the standard reference for Dolby Atmos for Music. The PMC monitors chosen for this system offer almost limitless headroom, power capabilities, pin-point accuracy and sonic fidelity, ensuring that they go well beyond Dolby\u2019s minimum requirements. I\u2019m confident that the Sweetwater Studios\u2019 customers will thoroughly enjoy working in this great sounding room and will have a lot of fun uncovering all the artistic and creative possibilities that mixing music in Dolby Atmos has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

World-class versatility<\/strong>
\n\u200bIn addition to providing Sweetwater Studios\u2019 engineering team with a world-class immersive audio space for record production, the upgrades to Studio B were also designed to meet the needs of Sweetwater Studios\u2019 diverse client base looking to expand into Dolby Atmos production. Dealey boasts that Studio B fits perfectly into Sweetwater Studios\u2019 identity as a versatile audio production hub. \u201cWhat makes our studio unique is how \u2018chameleon-like\u2019 we are. The range of tools and talent we have access to compared to other studios gives us extreme versatility along with the ability to shift to meet the needs of any audio production project.\u201d<\/p>\n

This versatility also extends to Sweetwater Studios\u2019 ongoing educational programs. Now that Studio B is open and taking on projects, Dealey is planning a series of recording workshops aimed at artists and engineers looking to get their first taste of working in immersive formats. \u201cWe\u2019re eager to make this technology accessible to our customers and clients and have exciting plans for future master classes and recording workshops,\u201d he says. \u201cInspiring people to make music is a big part of why we offer these educational programs, and Dolby Atmos offers a brand-new way to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
