A flagship spatial audio studio for composition, editing and prototyping of spatial an immersive audio across a wide variety of formats.

Our system of 32.4 Genelec Smart Active Monitors in a spherical array, enables flexible working and prototyping in a range of different formats. Including higher order ambisonics, Atmos, DTS:X, Auro 3D and traditional electronic art music formats like 8 or 16 channels.

The studio is designed as a creative space for exploration and experimentation with the full four dimensions of sound – pitch, loudness, time and position – and is used to facilitate collaborative projects and solo composition work.

We’re committed to encouraging people to think about immersive audio as much more than a delivery format. We also want them to explore its potential to shape the creative process and become an expressive dimension.
