ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ - Phiphen Studios (https://phiphenstudios.com) recently installed 11 Genelec 8330A monitors in its Dolby Atmos mix room as part of a continuing effort to deliver high-quality sound for feature films and television projects. Located in northern New Jersey, not far from New York City, Phiphen Studios serves as a turnkey production hub, with a 10,000-square-foot facility that features a 25-seat 4K grading theater, color grading suites and offline editorial rooms.
The studio officially launched in 2022, and has gone on to contribute to a number of projects that were shot in New Jersey, including Daddio, starring Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson, and the upcoming feature
Y2K.
“We’re proud to be one of the few post production facilities in New Jersey offering a full range of services,” says Aldey Sanchez, managing director of Phiphen Studios. “From dailies and archival to VFX to sound to color and finishing and mastering, we do it all. Adding Genelec monitors to our Atmos mix room ensures that we can meet the growing demand for premium audio services.”
The studio took a forward-thinking approach choosing to incorporate Genelec 8330A Smart Active Monitors (www.genelec.com) into their Atmos room.
“As the industry evolves, more projects are requesting Dolby Atmos capabilities,” Sanchez explains. “Genelec was a natural choice for us because of their form factor, quality and reputation in the industry. Immersive experts came in to calibrate the system, and they were impressed with the setup.”
When it came to the design and installation of the Atmos system, Phiphen Studios worked closely with Skyline Finishing (previously Final Frame), to configure the room.
“They served as consultants, helping us make the most of the space we had available, and we’re extremely happy with the results,” says Sanchez.
