Ubisoft Singapore has upgraded its Studio Blue with Neumann studio monitors, enhancing its audio production capabilities. The studio, now the first in Southeast Asia to be Dolby Atmos-enabled, features eleven Neumann KH 80 DSPs and a KH 810 subwoofer. This setup aims to deliver precision and clarity in sound design, elevating the immersive experience for players worldwide.
The transformation of Studio Blue, previously known as Studio A, marks a significant leap from a traditional 5.1 setup to a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 configuration. This upgrade allows for more precise sound placement in three-dimensional space, crucial for immersive gameplay. Nicolas Ow, Associate Lead Audio Designer at Ubisoft Singapore, noted, “The jump from 5.1 to Dolby Atmos felt like the natural next step.”
The choice of Neumann monitors was pivotal. Erik-Jon Evangelista, Audio Director at Ubisoft Singapore, explained, “We chose Neumann for its sonic characteristics and consistent sound across the entire range of KH monitors.” This consistency ensures that audio mixes translate reliably across various consumer systems.
Ubisoft Singapore, established in 2008, has been a leader in AAA game development in the region. Known for its expertise in naval gameplay and water technology, the studio continues to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling. With nearly 500 employees, the studio’s commitment to cutting-edge audio technology underscores its role in the global gaming industry.
