Acquired by Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix in 2017, STMPD recording studios has received a spectacular upgrade over the past three years. The Mix Stage, a separate studio for cinema mixing, has also received a complete renovation.
In designing and building the 135m2 Dolby ATMOS Premier Studio, no compromises were made, positioning STMPD recording studios at the utmost forefront of the industry. The Mix Stage, which has been awarded with the highest Dolby ATMOS certification, brings the total of studios for STMPD recording studios to eight. STMPD recording studios aims to facilitate the most ambitious production companies, directors, sound designers and re-recording mixers with a mixing facility that meets the highest and latest industry standards.
To meet the Dolby ATMOS Premier requirements, 51 of the latest generation Alcons pro-ribbon loudspeakers and 14 Alcons Sentinel amplified loudspeaker controllers have been installed. All speakers feature the same pro-ribbon HF driver technology which makes the stage excellent for immersive audio. The Avid S6 console controlling multiple workstations gives the power and flexibility required to handle projects of all sizes. Furthermore, the studio is designed in such a way that additional workstations can seamlessly be connected to the AV infrastructure.
For reference picture quality, STMPD recording studios has installed a Sony SRX-R510P 4K DCI projector, and an acoustically transparent woven Severtson SAT-4K projection screen - making the Mix Stage perfect for screenings and viewing sessions as well. The high-end acoustic design by Pinna Acoustics not only gives the Mix Stage its excellent sonic performance, but also gives the Mix Stage the unique and relaxed vibe you can expect from the STMPD brand.
With a team of professionals with an endless passion, Garrix has taken over the famous FC Walvisch studios in 2017, renaming it STMPD recording studios. His vision was to create a safe hub where creatives from all over the world can come together. The perfection he strives for when it comes to his music and live shows has also been translated into the renovation of the studio.
