The Technische Hochschule Lübeck has upgraded its recording studio from 5.1 and stereo recording to object-based immersive mixing with Genelec smart active monitoring.
After exploring the market for studio monitors and test phases of various systems, Genelec’s The Ones three-way monitors were chosen for the project due to their coaxial design, compact size and sound capabilities.
The university’s studio now features six workstations with a Dolby Atmos production suite for mixing over headphones, as well as one workstation with an Avid S6 console, Dolby Atmos mastering suite with RMU and a Genelec monitoring system.
The system comprises S360s in the LCR positions, 8351s and 8341s as surrounds and overheads, with 7380 subwoofers for low end support.
GLM software allows the studio to efficiently configure all the monitors in the room, calibrating a large number of monitors simultaneously.
Arne Heyna, lab engineer, Technische Hochschule Lübeck, commented: "The Ones models allow for very good sonic imaging even in more difficult seating locations, thanks to their wide dispersion pattern.
"There are only a few systems that can calibrate a sufficiently large number of monitors at the same time. We did not only plan for Dolby Atmos formats, but also equipped the studio with fulldome projects in mind, and here, GLM was very helpful in calibrating the different setups. This was a crucial point in choosing Genelec.”
