Case Study: Jack Goodman's Dolby Atmos Mix Room Powered by PMC Speakers

Jack Goodman's Studio at a Glance

Renowned sound designer and mixer Jack Goodman has shaped soundscapes for brands like Apple, Ford, Disney, Nat Geo, ESPN and more. Recognizing the rise of immersive audio, he partnered with RSPE Audio Solutions to build a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos mix studio equipped with PMC speakers—future-proofing his work and refining his craft.

After a brief DIY attempt, Goodman quickly saw the complexity of designing a high-performance Atmos studio—and turned to the pros, ie RSPE Audio, for a complete solution. RSPE engineered a system tailored to his workflow, space, and future goals, combining precision monitoring, optimal speaker placement, and seamless Dolby Atmos integration. As part of the acoustic strategy, they deployed the ASC AttackWall to fine-tune imaging and detail. For bass control, ASC Low Frequency Tuned Bass Traps were utilized. The combination gives Jack a mix environment where every detail comes through with clarity and a room that responds at any volume level.

RSPE Audio's support was end-to-end, from in-studio visits by collaborators Dolby and PMC to industry connections that helped shape the space. After extensive demos at RSPE Audio, Goodman chose PMC speakers for their clarity and punch. “After hearing the PMCs, there’s just no comparison,” he says.

The result: a studio that boosts client confidence and ensures mix translation across any playback system. For Goodman, investing in a professionally designed Atmos space isn’t just about gear—it’s about hearing the details that take his work to the next level and solidifying his position at the forefront of immersive audio.
