The room is fitted with a 192-channel Harrison MPC4-D digital film console; Dynaudio M3FX screen – custom made for cinema mix rooms; ten Dynaudio BM15P for the surrounds; plus two JBL 4645Cs for the LFE channel, all driven by MC22 amplification. According to studio owner R K Jain, Munro Acoustics was an obvious choice when it came to completing the work: “I read the following paragraph in the Dolby Guide for 5.1 rooms while planning the facility: ‘Whether designing a new facility or planning to refit an existing one, consulting a professional acoustician and architect familiar with building critical audio monitoring environments is always recommended.’ I decided to go with an experienced acoustic design firm who have worked on world-renowned mix rooms, so briefed Andy Munro of Munro Acoustics to design a room with superior sonic quality.” For his not inconsiderable part in the proceedings Munro stated, “The new room has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of a Dolby Premier Studio in preparation for the new generation of high-definition digital projectors. The acoustic design is modelled on a form of semi-diffusing module that has been developed over many years’ experience with top London studios, such as Shepperton and Pinewood.” Munro Acoustics +44 (0)20 7403 3808 www.munro.co.uk media production centre Pure Inspiration record • edit • mix • create Audio Media mag '08.indd 1 4/2/08 6:37:45 PM 8 AUDIO MEDIA JUNE 2008 http://www.audiomedia.com http://www.timespace.com http://www.hhb.co.uk/scrub http://www.bigfishaudio.com http://www.munro.co.uk http://www.merginguk.com http://www.tekcare.co.uk http://www.fairlightau.com http://www.fairlightau.com
