Dubbing Brothers' latest expansion

As the demand for content grew, Dubbing Brothers Decided expand its Paris facilities with five large recording and mixing studios, five smaller mixing rooms and two editing rooms. The acoustic engineers Camille Hamel and Jean Marc Vernaudon accompanied Malaize throughout the project, who made the final decision to bet on teams of Genelec: "I chose Genelec because I have years of experience with their products and I fully trust them as a brand."

Of the new mixing and recording rooms, three have deployed the same system Genelec 7.1.4 composed of S360s for L-C-R, 8340s for surrounds and overheads, and a subwoofer 7382 which is in charge of the LFE. The four smaller 7.1.4 mixing rooms each have a slightly different Genelec configuration.

Finally, two 5.0 editing rooms have an identical design, supported by monitors 8030 and 8020.

The integration is completed with the use of GLM software to calibrate each monitoring system to the room: "I installed a GLM kit in all the studios, permanently connected, so it saves me a lot of time when I have to check the calibration: I don't have to bring all the extra equipment, which is very useful. GLM allows me to do a fine calibration of the system in a very efficient way, without losing sight of all the parameters of the speakers."

Looking ahead, Dubbing Brothers is exploring New avenues for global expansion and strengthening its presence in more countries. According to Malaize, Genelec will be a co-star in this expansion: "I've installed many speaker brands in the past, but Genelec is the only one that gives me full guarantees that we will produce a good mix."
