The Center recently completed the design and installation of a second Dolby Atmos system into one of our Production Rooms. This studio provides an environment for 5.1 as well as 5.1.2 (ceiling speakers) recording and mixing. The 5.1.2 configuration supports the Atmos broadcast and streaming content protocol from media service providers like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Hulu, etc. #SonicArtsCenter #RecordingStudio #CCNY #CCNYMusic #CUNY
