Built for immersive audio environments - with Dolby Atmos support

The Symphony Studio 8x16 offers an exceptional 9.1.6 surround sound configuration, pushing the boundaries of immersive audio. This setup includes nine speakers strategically positioned along the front, side, and rear walls, along with six overhead speakers, resulting in an expansive, multidirectional soundstage.

Whether for Dolby Atmos or Auro-3D productions, this configuration captures the finest details of sound movement and placement, immersing listeners deeply into the audio environment. The Symphony Studio 8x16 is equipped to handle the most demanding and complex audio projects, delivering an unparalleled sense of realism and engagement.

Ultra-clean microphone preamps

Symphony Studio’s preamps offer 75dB of gain, providing an ultra-clean signal path for capturing the finest details in your recordings. Even at high gain levels, these preamps deliver exceptional clarity and low noise, preserving the natural sound of your instruments and vocals. This makes them ideal for capturing delicate performances, from soft vocals to subtle acoustic instruments.

The transparent sound and wide dynamic range ensure that your recordings remain true to the source, with all the nuances and dynamics intact. Symphony Studio’s preamps give you the flexibility to record everything from soft whispers to loud instruments, all while maintaining the highest audio quality.

Tailored monitor workflows

Symphony Studio’s customisable monitor workflows let you create and save multiple speaker setups for different audio formats. With the ability to switch between stereo, surround, and immersive configurations at the touch of a button, you can maintain optimal listening conditions for every project. Each workflow allows you to adjust EQ, bass management, and speaker trim settings, ensuring that your audio setup is perfectly aligned with the specific requirements of your work.

Seamless bass management

Symphony Studio’s advanced bass management system provides complete control over your low-end sound. Fine-tune the crossover frequencies, slopes, and subwoofer placement for perfect integration with your main speakers. This ensures a balanced and immersive listening experience, where the low frequencies blend naturally into the overall soundscape.

By preventing muddiness in the bass and ensuring clarity, this system is essential for achieving professional-quality mixes. Whether you’re working on bass-heavy music or sound design, Symphony Studio's bass management ensures your low-end is tight, controlled, and translates well across all playback systems.

Precision room EQ

With Symphony Studio's 16-band room EQ per speaker, you can easily target and fix frequency imbalances caused by room acoustics. This helps you create an optimal listening environment, even in untreated or acoustically challenging spaces. By precisely adjusting the frequency response of each speaker, Symphony Studio ensures that your mixes sound clear, balanced, and accurate.
