Atlantis Studios makes the leap to Atmos with The Ones by Genelec

Smart active monitors Genelec The Ones have marked the leap into the mix in Dolby Atmos of the Atlantis Studios from Stockholm.

Atlantis Studio, with decades of experience, decided to opt for integrating its first system 7.1.4 a few months ago. Your mixing engineer, Stefan Boman, had identified the trend that was dominating the industry and did not want to be left behind. After identifying Atmos As standard, Boman and the engineering team trusted by Atlantis decided to choose the three-way coaxial point source monitor family. The Ones of Genelec. Specifically, the 8351 for L-C-R positions, the 8341 for surrounds and 8331 for the ceiling channels, all complemented by a subwoofer 7370.

For Boman, the decision was as simple as it was surprising: "I've had Genelec monitors for a long time, they fit my ears. When I first heard the Ones, I was very impressed by the definition. On most speakers you can hear that it's on the left or on the right, but on these you can localize sounds so precisely, you can say things like 'it's 5 degrees to the left!' I was amazed, I could actually hear the definition of the pan. That helps a lot in an Atmos room."

Once certification has been obtained from Dolby, Atlantis Studio was able to work directly on a project in Atmos: the remix of the greatest hits of Roxette. This was the first step, but many more have followed, as Boman comments: "I think today about 80% of the things I do are Atmos. I wanted to be involved in Atmos from the beginning so I wouldn't have to jump on board later, when everyone else is doing it. In the end, it was a good move. I'm happy with the results, and both artistically and economically it has been a good decision."
