Sports Team Studios | Immersive Audio
By David Frangioni | Frangioni Media | Header image: concept rendering for illustration.
Documentaries, series and premium streaming content are increasingly delivered in immersive audio. A team studio that can mix in Dolby Atmos in-house controls its own quality and timeline.
The Short Answer
A Dolby Atmos mix room lets a team finish documentaries, series and hype content to the immersive standard many streaming platforms support, without sending every project out of house. It requires a properly sized room, isolation, acoustic treatment, a calibrated multi-speaker monitoring system and a workflow that connects to edit and shared storage. Frangioni Media designs and builds these rooms as part of a turnkey team studio.
Why It Matters for a Team
- Control. In-house finishing keeps schedules and creative decisions with the team.
- Quality. Immersive mixes carry the energy of a stadium in a way stereo cannot.
- Future-proofing. A room built for Atmos also handles stereo and 5.1 deliverables.
- Partnerships. A finished, immersive-ready product is easier to place with platforms and broadcast partners.
What It Takes to Build One Right
- Room dimensions and ceiling height that support overhead speakers.
- Isolation from the rest of the facility, especially in stadiums.
- Acoustic design for even, accurate sound at the mix position.
- A speaker and amplification system specified for the room and calibrated to standard.
- Integration with edit, shared storage and delivery workflows.
Experience Behind the Room
David Frangioni co-produced and engineered the first 5.1 DTS surround music CD in 1995 and mixes catalog albums in Dolby Atmos, including the KISS Dressed to Kill and Rock And Roll Over 50th anniversary sets. He designs Atmos rooms from the mix position out. Read his view on why team studios should mix in Atmos, or see how existing stadium space is converted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a sports team studio need a Dolby Atmos room?
If the team plans documentaries, series or premium streaming content, an Atmos room lets it finish to that standard in-house. Teams focused on social content can phase it in later.
Can an existing room be converted for Atmos?
Often, if it has enough ceiling height and can be isolated. We evaluate the space first.
