Premier Dolby Atmos Studio
“The highest spec room built in the UK to date” – Dolby
Welcome to our certified Gold Class Mix & Mastering facility!
Treehouse has been meticulously designed from the ground up, utilising extraordinary sound insulation build methods inside our facility – a world of its own! Internally the unique custom made acoustic treatments work beautifully. Sonically it ‘measures up’ to far exceed Dolby’s strict specifications, affording us no need to use bass management, which is rare in other studios – Hearing is Believing!
Aesthetically sublime, inspirational and comfortable, every inch of Treehouse has been carefully considered and designed to deliver one of the finest mix/mastering environments for todays music industry clientele.
We chose Genelec for our monitoring requirements, as only they manufacturer studio monitors that are sufficiently compact, whilst delivering enough bass and loudness to more than meet Dolby’s stringent specifications, complimented with their mighty sub, capable of the same.
We have adopted Dolby’s recommended 9.1.4 monitoring layout for mastering music. This means that we have Left and Right Wide speakers further out than the main stereo pair, as well as 4 height speakers, two at the front and two at the rear on the ceiling to give the overhead localisation needed for mixing and mastering Dolby Atmos.
