Atmos @ Metropolis

Immersive Audio Facility @ Metropolis Studios

This is Atmos at Metropolis.

Our state of the art studio is the highest resolution in the UK and built to enable both established and emerging artists to unlock the exciting potential of immersive audio.

With the loudspeakers arrayed at 30° of separation, the audio monitoring is designed to cater for all surround formats, including Dolby Atmos and 360RA. The rooms resolution sits at 11.2.8 with 11 loudspeakers in the horizontal 360’ plane, 8 height loudspeakers from front to rear and a sub array.

The control room pursues a flexible ‘hub studio’ approach allowing for multiple uses supporting all immersive mix workflows as well as album playbacks. The room is also connected to Studio A and B Live Rooms allowing us to record and broadcast live in any spatial format.

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format which uses object-based rather than channel-based delivery enabling the same master to scale to the number of speakers in any system, whether that’s a simple two-channel stereo, a 5.1 channel surround, a fully immersive 7.1.4 (or more!) surround system or a binaural representation on headphones. With Dolby Atmos, the artist is able to place each object in a precise 3-dimensional location, which will be rendered in real time during playback to the appropriate speaker in whatever system is available. 

Services

If you’re thinking of recording, mixing or mastering in any spatial format, you can now make Metropolis Studios your one-stop-shop for supporting your entire spatial workflow. To break that down, we have put together four services that will cover the journey:

Record for Atmos: take advantage of spatial recording techniques with our team of engineers. We highly recommend this approach if you want to make the most of spatial audio.

Atmos Mix: this can be done with or without additional spatial channels. Our in-house engineers can translate any multitrack mix stems into fully immersive Atmos mixes.

Atmos Master: Dolby Atmos masters created by our mastering team who will take your Atmos mix files, or stereo stems, and render this into the final Dolby Atmos master that your music deserves.

Atmos Broadcast: the opportunity to use the new studio as a broadcast hub has always been in mind from the outset. Our 3D Control Room is connected to both Studio A and B so we can mix and broadcast live and direct from Metropolis in any spatial format.

We are here to help and support your 3D workflow to deliver you the finest spatial product possible. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions 3D@thisismetropolis.com
