“The Genelecs gave us better localisation, more detail and less fatigue. It was exactly what we needed.”
At the heart of Stuttgart’s historic Bad Cannstatt district, Tonstudio Gress is proving that immersive audio doesn’t need to be complicated to be powerful. The studio’s newly completed 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos control room, built around Genelec 8000 Series monitors, is a masterclass in intuitive design: offering clarity, localisation and creative consistency for projects ranging from film and TV to museum installations and music.

Founded in 1989 by brothers Alexander and Raymond Gress, Tonstudio Gress has steadily evolved from a small local facility into a respected multidisciplinary audio house. Today, the studio specialises in cinematic audio, spatial sound design and high-end voice production, delivering finely crafted work for both national and international clients.
“Whether you’re a solo artist or a major institution, your project gets our full attention,” says Raymond Gress.
Genelec 8000 Series monitors
The team’s latest investment, a Dolby Atmos control room with a carefully selected Genelec monitoring system, marks the next step in their long-standing commitment to immersive formats. The system includes 8040B monitors for the LCR positions, 8030Cs for surrounds and 8020Ds for height channels. Powered by an AVID MTRX interface and DADman software, the fully analogue setup delivers both creative focus and technical reliability. “We’ve been working with immersive sound for years,” Gress explains. “The Genelecs gave us better localisation, more detail and less fatigue. It was exactly what we needed.”
