7.1.4 and binaural remote immersive audio monitoring
Davina Michelle live at AHOY in Rotterdam
On 2 November we recorded Dutch megastar Davina Michelle for Rob Sannen Audio Consultancy at AHOY in Rotterdam, one of Europe's top concert venues.
Our goal was to stream internally, listen in and set up the microphones perfectly with high precision. The arrays of 23 audience microphones, spread across the catwalk, balconies and floor areas, would be used for a possible immersive mix at a later date.
3D audio specialist Erik Gierich remotely commented on the microphone positions during setup and soundcheck from our 7.1.4 immersive control room in Cologne. Using one of the world's most advanced immersive mixing rooms helped us achieve unparalleled precision in microphone setup and due diligence.
Connecting any remote concert or production location to our perfectly sounding reference mixing room is the ideal way to create an immersive audio experience for recording and live streaming in Dolby Atmos, Sony 360, Fraunhofer MPEG-H, Binaural and any other format without compromise.
This approach to production eliminates the need for audio trucks or less than ideal, compromised on-site monitor setups. It saves money and contributes to a better carbon footprint.
