Great sound for small spaces
A step forward
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.

The setup
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.

Highest standards
Attention to detail extended beyond the choice of monitors. The installation was wired entirely with Van Damme cable, chosen for its uncompromising quality and ability to deliver the best sound possible. The result is a meticulously tuned Atmos room that combines technical accuracy with an inspiring listening environment.
The transformation has been deeply rewarding. The new setup not only meets the highest standards of immersive sound but also represents the studio’s commitment to staying at the forefront of audio production. With the system now complete, Lito’s Place will soon begin offering full Atmos mixing services, an exciting next chapter for both the studio and its clients.
