Manolito Galea who has over 30 years experience of sound engineering, has always been recognized as being in the forefront when it comes to recording or mixing.

‍Via his recording studio, Manolito also collaborates regularly with foreign artists and media companies from Italy, Norway, Britain and USA namely Columbia Pictures, Sky Productions, Warner Bros Pictures, and the BBC. He is a dedicated and skilled sound engineer, renowned for his work in both studio and live performance settings.

Last year, Lito’s Place took a bold step forward in upgrading its main control room with the EVE Audio SC4070 monitors. The decision was an easy one - these speakers impressed immediately with their sonic precision and clarity. The results not only elevated daily workflow but also set the stage for what would come next.

This year, the studio has expanded into Dolby Atmos, making another significant investment in immersive audio technology. The choice to continue with EVE Audio was guided by two main factors: sonic brilliance and compact design. In building a Dolby-certified Atmos environment, it was crucial to find monitors that not only met Dolby’s technical specifications but also complemented the interior design of the space. EVE Audio delivered on both fronts.

After careful research and consultation, the Atmos configuration was finalized. The front left and right are powered by the SC3070 three-way monitors, while the SC2070 takes its place at the center. The surround field combines SC204s on the sides with SC207s at the rear, and four SC205s provide the all-important ceiling channels. Low-end reinforcement is handled by two dedicated 12-inch subwoofers. EVE Audio’s TS112 models, ensuring depth and precision across the full frequency range. The system is controlled through the Audient ORIA audio interface, offering seamless management of the multi-speaker environment.

Currently, the Atmos setup is configured as a 7.1.4 system, providing an immersive and precise listening experience. However, it is fully capable of being upgraded to a 9.1.6 configuration, allowing even greater flexibility for future projects.
