Pinewood and Shepperton first UK mixing theatres to get Dolby® Atmos™

The Pinewood Group’s mixing theatres at Pinewood and Shepperton Studios are to become the very first facilities in the UK to be fitted with Dolby’s revolutionary new end-to-end audio platform - Dolby®AtmosTM. Pinewood’s Powell Theatre has just reopened after a complete refurbishment and installation and Shepperton’s Korda Theatre is set to follow in January 2013.

Dolby Atmos is an amazing new system and one of the most significant developments in the history of cinema sound. It gives content creators unprecedented control of the placement and movement of sound within the cinema. It will also transport cinemagoers into the adventure through a lifelike and immersive sensory cinema experience as cinemas in the UK and around the world begin to be fitted with the new system.

Pinewood’s Powell Theatre and Shepperton’s Korda Theatre will become the most incredible playgrounds for sound mixers based at the Studios and currently the only UK facilities capable of mixing in this new format. In December the Pinewood Post team is expected to start work on one of the first films to utilise a Dolby Atmos soundtrack from the UK.

Pinewood’s Post Production team is officially launching the newly fitted Powell Theatre to industry colleagues on Thursday, 22nd November, and hopes to welcome clients from across the industry to road test the system.

Additional benefits of Dolby Atmos are that it complements existing workflows, can support up to 128 simultaneous and lossless audio streams and allows for up to 64 discrete speaker feeds. Full frequency range surrounds and overheads add exceptional clarity and detail to the listening experience.
