studio
The Dolby Atmos studio consists of a recording room of about 60 square meters, a vocal booth of about 6 square meters, and a control room of about 44 square meters and a volume of 122 cubic meters. The control room is acoustically optimized and calibrated. It achieves a nearly uniform reverberation period between 0.35 and 0.45 seconds across the entire frequency spectrum. Acoustic reflections are linear due to the use of anti-parallel walls, Helmholtz resonators, bandwidth absorbers and panel absorbers.
