Mexican TV broadcaster and program producer TelevisaUnivision picked Genelec monitors to upgrade its main 5.1 surround sound studio, known as Studio 7 at the company’s San Angel facility, to match its name with a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound monitor configuration.
Rafael Alfaro, co-ordinator of audio engineering and projects at Televisa explained, “The most important TV production companies like TelevisaUnivision must have series that are Atmos-ready.”
According to a release, “To upgrade to 7.1.4, Studio 7 has been equipped with seven slimline 1238 three-way monitors in the surround positions, comprising the original five 1238CF models and two new 1238DFs. Four of Televisa’s existing 8351A coaxial three-way monitors were brought into the room to provide the height channels, with the original pair of 7271A subwoofers handling the low frequencies.”
Alfaro said, “These were the right monitors for us in terms of the room size, the quality of the monitors and the supporting technology.”
Genelec Sales Manager for Latin America Miguel Dominguez and Genelec’s local distribution partner VARI provided aid and advice.
The San Angel studios contain 200 or so Genelec monitors. Alfaro noted, “Working with Genelec in all our control room facilities allows us to make sure that each recording has the best sound quality. It doesn’t matter which room you finalize the mix in, because all of them use the same brand.”
