Located in downtown Miami’s arts district, Instrumentoz is a music technology company and studio space for beginner producers, artists and creators. Part of its remit is to improve access to Dolby Atmos mixing. To ensure reliability and accessibility while also adhering to Dolby requirements, Instrumentoz is equipped with KRK Rokit studio monitors and S12.4 subwoofers.
‘Instrumentoz is a place where producers can start learning how to record and mix music in Atmos – I call it a producer’s playground,’ says founder, Carlito ‘Sway’ Cobos. ‘We chose the Rokits as an affordable option for quality audio and build. Plus, the White Noise versions complement the creative atmosphere in the space.
‘Using KRK for immersive mixing gives the perfect low-end, and the tuning and EQ are so accurate, especially when combined with the KRK S12.4, which is an ideal subwoofer for Dolby Atmos,’ he adds.
Recently, musical duo Unfollow Me produced and mixed their single ‘Unavailable’ at Instrumentoz. ‘The lead singer told us she was blown away by how immersive the music was in the room,’ Cobos reports. ‘She said she could hear everything panned out around her, as opposed to just on two speakers coming at you, and that having all the song elements spread out, rather than being masked in the stereo mix, was amazing.’
Cobos has also been working alongside Dolby Atmos-certified Engineer Javier Delgado on immersive mixes for artists such as Lunaty Npt from Colombia, Dominican Rapper El Nephew, and Miami-based TikTok sensation Tre Oh Fie.
‘I started Instrumentoz because I wanted producers to have a place to make immersive music, rather than just focusing on the final product with the engineers,’ Cobos reflects. ‘There’s a myth that you need a huge budget to start mixing in Atmos, but the KRK Rokit line hits professional standards while allowing you to get into creative mixing. The Rokits made it possible for us to create this space for producers, who can potentially use it as a model for their own studios in the future.’
