Andy Poirier
“I booked a consultation with Audio Animals and let them know what my plans were and how much I was willing to spend. They not only saved me a BOAT LOAD of money and headache, but also took the time to go through my project in detail. They helped me pinpoint my weak links and advised me on the equipment that would benefit me. In the end, together we engineered a setup that really improved my tracking and mixing capabilities without buying all the excess I thought I needed.”
Dany Kirsch
“For me my consultancy was all about saving money. I have no idea how to build a studio from scratch and wasn’t prepared to spend my money with trial and error to find out. Paul from Audio Animals advised me on materials, where to get them and how much I would need. I ended up building a studio that was built to a similar spec to his, which we all know is one of the best in the world. Without his expertise and knowledge I wouldn’t have the studio I have today. Money well spent.”
David Spill
“I contacted Audio Animals initially to enquire about their PMC speakers. It was important to me to get first hand user experience on them before spending £50k on monitors. A small price to pay considering the huge investment I was making. Paul walked me through his PMC system and advised me on exactly what I would need to achieve the best possible monitoring. He even introduced me to a PMC dealer who saved me a good amount of money.”
Jason Lattuca
“I recently built a project studio, I called the guys at Audio Animals to ask their advice, they came down to my studio and completely reconfigured and calibrated all my software and hardware. They were on it all day and didn’t stop from 8am to 5:30pm. They were well mannered, super respectful and appreciative of my property and equipment. Super polite and professional and got my studio running like a dream. Brilliant service.”

What Does The Dolby Atmos Studio Setup Consultation Include?
The Dolby Atmos Studio Planning & Integration service covers every aspect of setting up a Dolby Atmos studio. This includes precise speaker placement, system configuration, and optimal routing. Since Dolby Atmos setups can be complex, especially if you haven’t done it before, we provide comprehensive guidance on everything from speaker positioning to integrating essential equipment like a Trinnov for room correction. The goal is to ensure that every element of your studio is perfectly calibrated for an immersive audio experience.
Can You Help Design A Dolby Atmos Studio From The Ground Up?
Yes, Paul can help design your Dolby Atmos studio from the ground up. Having built multiple Dolby Atmos studios, Paul knows exactly what works and what doesn’t. He can assist with everything from selecting the right audio interface and speakers to determining the appropriate system size and configuration. With Paul’s expertise, you’ll get tailored advice on how to best route and integrate all components, ensuring a seamless and professional setup.
What’s The Difference Between A Regular Studio and A Dolby Atmos Studio?
The main difference between a regular studio and a Dolby Atmos studio is the speaker setup. A regular studio typically has two speakers (left and right) for stereo sound, while a Dolby Atmos studio uses multiple speakers placed around the room to create an immersive, three-dimensional audio experience. Proper placement of these speakers is crucial for achieving accurate sound. Additionally, room correction tools like a Trinnov are essential to manage phase alignment and ensure a cohesive sound across all speakers. Another key difference is the need for larger interfacing to handle multiple outputs. Overall, a Dolby Atmos studio provides a far more immersive and precise audio environment compared to a traditional stereo setup.
Can You Help With Equipment Selection And System Compatibility?
Yes, Paul can assist with equipment selection and ensuring system compatibility. He’ll recommend the best audio interface and speaker system for your specific needs, ensuring that all components work seamlessly together. Understanding the key benefits of different equipment options, Paul ensures you get the right setup that matches your goals and budget. This guidance helps you achieve optimal performance and future-proof your studio.
Do You Advise On Speaker Placement And Calibration?
Yes, Paul provides detailed advice on both speaker placement and calibration. Proper speaker placement is crucial, especially if you’re soffit-mounting them into the walls, as getting it right from the start is essential. If your speakers are on stands, they can be adjusted around the room for optimal calibration. When it comes to calibration, Paul highly recommends using a Trinnov system due to its exceptional ability to enhance phase alignment and overall sound cohesion in a Dolby Atmos environment.
Do You Assist With Room Acoustics And Acoustic Treatment?
Yes, Paul can assist with room acoustics and treatment, advising on how to incorporate effective acoustic treatment into your studio design. While he provides comprehensive guidance to achieve a great-sounding room, for highly specialised and precise acoustic science, it’s best to also consult with a dedicated acoustics expert. Paul’s expertise will help you achieve a well-treated room with excellent acoustics.
Is This Service Suitable For Home Studios Or Only Professional Facilities?
This service is suitable for anyone planning to set up a Dolby Atmos studio, whether it’s in a home environment or a professional facility. The consultation is tailored to meet the specific needs and scale of your setup, ensuring you get the best possible outcome regardless of the studio’s location or purpose.
Will You Help Integrate Dante Networking And Audio Routing?
Yes, integrating Dante networking and audio routing is a crucial part of a Dolby Atmos studio setup. Paul will help you configure the Dante interface to ensure seamless and efficient routing of all your audio channels. The benefits of using Dante include simplified cabling, enhanced audio quality, and greater flexibility in managing complex audio workflows.
Can This Consultation Be Done Remotely, Or Do You Need To Be On-Site?
Yes, the consultation can be done remotely, though there are some limitations. An on-site consultation allows for more hands-on guidance, like precise measurements and immediate adjustments. However, remote sessions are absolutely possible and effective for planning and advising. In a remote setup, Paul will guide you through the process and provide detailed instructions, but you’ll need to implement the steps on your end based on his advice.
How Do I Know If My Space Is Suitable for a Dolby Atmos Setup?
We can determine if your space is suitable for a Dolby Atmos setup within the first 10 minutes of the consultation. While there are Dolby best practices, many studios do not strictly follow them, and the requirements are much more flexible now than when Dolby Atmos was first introduced. Generally, most studios can accommodate a Dolby Atmos setup. The results will vary depending on factors like room size and ceiling height, with larger rooms generally yielding better results.
