Genelec S360 monitors drive Spain’s first Dolby Atmos Home certified studios
posted:
The Telson.Tres60 team, alongside Unitecnic – Mediapro’s engineering company which handled the
installation – turned to local Genelec partner Audio-Technica Iberia for the 7.1.4 monitoring solution. In both
rooms S360A monitors were installed in the LCR positions, with four 1032C monitors as surrounds and the
same number of 8340As covering the overhead channels. Low frequency content is handled by a 7382A
subwoofer, and with all of the monitors being calibrated and controlled via Genelec’s GLM loudspeaker
management software, the monitoring system is able to provide the flexibility required to work to different
standards.

“These are the only two Dolby Atmos Home rooms in Spain approved to work at a 79 dB SPL monitoring
level,” adds Pelayo Gutiérrez, sound supervisor and head of the fiction sound department of Telson.Tres60.
“Ricardo Viñas from Dolby was responsible for adjusting the rooms and equalising them to the three required
levels: at 85 dB for cinema, 79 dB for Netflix and 82 dB for Telefónica.”

Alongside the two Dolby Atmos Home rooms, the facility features a 7.1 room, two 5.1 rooms, a foley room and
a movie theatre, which also benefit from Genelec monitoring technology. “In terms of technical expectations,
Genelec has delivered exactly what we anticipated,” reflects Gutiérrez. “We are very happy – it's a perfect setup.
We have real confidence when it comes to making premixes here and moving on to the movie theatre or
vice versa - the mixes translate perfectly.”
