Cyber Farm | Dolby Atmos Suite
At Cyber Farm, we have a state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos studio built to the book to provide the best possible listening experience in both traditional stereo and multi-channel atmos.
A little about the room?
The space is “floating”, built on a frame resting on rubber feet so there is no direct contact with the rest of the building. This primarily helps to keep the neighbours happy.
The room is built in a hard-to-soft configuration. All walls, except for the speaker wall and floor, are soft. This is to avoid standing waves and other acoustic challenges.
All this to give the speakers the optimal conditions.
What does our Atmos system consist of?
- 3 x Ex Machina Pulsar, 8 x Ex Machina Titan, 4 x SVS 12” subs.
- Monitor control and room correction : Trinnov D-mon
- Dolby atmos decode / headphones: Smyth Realiser A16
- Stereo: Universal audio Apollo x16 + 2400audio imperium.
- Daw: Apple MacMini m2pro with Pro Tools Ultimate, Steinberg Nuendo, Logic, Studio One and Luna.
- Plugins: all the essentials and more.
Dolby Atmos for music?
Although Dolby Atmos has been a staple of the film world for over a decade, the format's role in the music industry is still taking shape.
So far, Apple Music has been the frontrunner in embracing Atmos as a music format, with Tidal and Amazon Music close behind, while others (like Spotify) still only support stereo. This means many sound engineers have gone all-in on the format, upgrading their studios with speaker systems that provide an immersive sound experience. Others are waiting to see if the format really takes off before investing.
One of the biggest reasons many in the music industry haven't embraced Atmos is that they simply don't fully understand the format or the opportunities and challenges it can bring to music. Atmos provides an intense, immersive experience, but it also requires a lot of learning, and it even opens up philosophical questions about how to best utilise the format. Is it an entirely new art form that requires a new way of mixing, or simply an extension of our existing sound universe? How do we use the format optimally without making it seem like a gimmick? We may not have all the answers, but we can draw inspiration from the film and TV industry.
Open a new dimension of creativity
Dolby Atmos® provides an immersive audio experience where you can place individual sound elements in a three-dimensional sound field - something not possible with regular stereo.
Accessibility
Dolby Atmos devices are becoming increasingly common, including smartphones, AV receivers, TVs and soundbars.
