"We have three
SCM100ASL Pro speakers for our LCR monitoring, which are great for Atmos, but also for stereo stem mastering. Then we have four
SCM50ASL Pro speakers for our surrounds, four
SCM12i Pros for the heights and two
SCM0.1/15SL Pro subs.
Atmos isn’t speaker-based, it’s more object/location-based, so you can set up an Atmos room in a variety of different layouts. We’ve gone for this 12-speaker setup (subs considered as one, as only one channel) because it’s one of the most popular ways of listening. The Atmos bed follows this configuration, and it also mirrors the setup we have in
The Penthouse.
They give me everything I need in great detail. They’re pretty flat, so you’re not biased when making decisions, but they also strike a balance for being nice to work on and fun to listen to music on. When I’m having fun listening to something that’s generally when I know I’ve finished!
Shoutout to our brilliant technical engineer
Dan Cole for setting this room up. He’s forgotten things about Atmos that I’m still working out how to do."
