Reflecting demand from international clients, Tel Aviv-based dubbing and postproduction facility Dubidub Studios recently moved to create the first professional Atmos studio in Israel – and has done so using Genelec monitoring. ‘Atmos today already completely dominates the theatrical industry,’ says Dubidub CEO Ami Offir. ‘All major companies in the world would probably nowadays produce their content in Dolby Atmos, not in 5.1 or 7.1.’

Dubidub has upgraded its main studio, creating a space now named The Dream Room. To ensure the space met Dolby’s specifications, Offir enlisted the help of acoustic consultant David Huja, who runs DHA Acoustic Design.
