Studio InstallationA Bold Leap Forward: Dolby Atmos Upgrade at Howard Audio Studio 1
Techmin recently had the privilege of collaborating once again with Benjamin Pro Audio and TMB Acoustics to undertake an exciting and highly anticipated upgrade at Howard Audio Studio 1. The focus of this project was transforming the studio’s existing 5.1 surround sound setup into a cutting-edge Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 system, significantly elevating its immersive audio capabilities.
Precision Engineering for Immersive Audio: Howard Audio’s Transition to Dolby Atmos
Upgrading from a 5.1 surround setup to a full Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 system required not only deep technical knowledge, but also a highly strategic and detailed approach. Key to this transformation was the addition of side surround and height speakers, carefully positioned and calibrated to achieve the spatial precision that Dolby Atmos demands. The layout was engineered with pinpoint accuracy to ensure consistent and realistic audio imaging throughout the room.
Laying the Groundwork for Future Scalability
Beyond the immediate hardware upgrade, the installation also factored in future scalability. An additional patch bay was installed to support further enhancements, ensuring Howard Audio remains future-ready. This level of foresight underscores the studio’s commitment to staying on the cutting edge of technology and industry demands.
Fine-Tuned for Perfection: Acoustic Calibration and Final Setup
Once physical installation was complete, the team turned its attention to system calibration—a critical step that ensures all components perform harmoniously. Using advanced measurement tools and acoustic analysis software, the team fine-tuned speaker levels and frequency response to deliver high-fidelity, immersive sound playback. The control room was acoustically optimized to match the performance of the new Dolby Atmos system.
A New Era for Immersive Audio Production at Howard Audio
