Ongoing upgrades to Thom Paisley’s 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos studio at London’s Hurricane Sound post house have seen the installation of Unity Audio Mk-III Boulder LCR monitoring.
‘The imaging is incredible which is vital in a multi-channel set-up,’ Paisley reports. ’I was looking for a very accurate, full-range monitor able to deliver the same depth and scale I’m used to hearing when mixing on large theatre systems. I get that with the new Boulder Mk-III’s, even at low levels.
‘I also took the opportunity to audition the new smaller Unity Audio two way close-fields, and was equally impressed. The next upgrade stage will include several pairs of the new Rock Mk-III for the surround channels, and the new Mini-Rock which will be installed on the ceiling for the Dolby Atmos channels.’
Resembling the surface of a large crystal, the surface of the 8.5-inch/220mm Crystal Membrane woofer uses aluminium-foil stamping to stiffen the aluminium dome, diminishing resonances and minimizing coloration, whilst improving power handling and dynamics down to mid 30Hz. The centrally mounted compact Coaxial X-Jet 5-inch mid-range driver and 50kHz folded ribbon tweeter design assures true point source phase accurate delivery across its entire frequency spectrum from 694Hz to 50kHz, eliminating phase rotation and frequency anomalies.
The Mk-III model uses two 300W class-D amplifiers and their own dedicated power supply to drive drive 8.5-inch/220mm woofers, while the mid/HF coaxial X-Jet drive unit is powered by two 75W custom class-A/B amplifiers with a dedicated power supply.
Hurricane Sound specialises in audio post for high-end film trailers as well as working on a wide range of broadcast and music projects. Recent titles include First Man, Halloween, Peter Rabbit, Mamma Mia and The First Purge.
