Sennheiser/Neumann will create a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos playback system within the live room of Front Stage Studio and present curated listening sessions led by noted mastering engineer Michael Romanowski. The system will include Neumann KH150 monitors up front, KH 120 MkIIs in the surrounds and ceiling, and KH 750 subs, along with Merging Technologies audio interfaces and MA1 software used for tuning the system.
