If you’re a music mixer and you’re considering upgrading your mix room to Dolby Atmos there are lots of things which are different compared to a space designed for stereo work. In a recently published FAQ Dolby have shared essential information on calibration. Topics covered include:

• Why do I have to calibrate a Dolby Atmos music studio?

• What is calibration?

• Is calibration the first thing I should do or are there other steps before tuning the room?

• Does Dolby have recommendations on acoustics?

• I like how my speakers sound. Won't calibration change that?

• What target should I use for calibration?

• Do I have to calibrate my room using the music curve?

• I never calibrated my room for stereo. Why is Dolby Atmos different?

• My calibration is already flat. Why do I want to apply equalization?

• Why is the music curve the shape it is?

• Why does Dolby suggest such a tight tolerance to the calibration curve, even at low frequencies?

• What are the typical symptoms of poor translation?

• How can I assess/ensure playback translation?
