Audio post studio Mr. Bronx has opened a 12,500-square-foot facility in the heart of the Flatiron district of NYC. The combined studio and office space pairs advanced audio rooms and technologies with custom-built accommodations. The company moved from its Soho location and is providing audio post services to the advertising, production and entertainment industries.
Led by founder and mixer David Wolfe and EP Hanna Choi, Mr. Bronx and its new studio rooms have already been home to work on high-profile campaigns for Adidas, Coca-Cola, American Express, LG, Sephora, Kia and the ACLU. The studio has also worked on Supercell games such as Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars and the trailer for Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, which opens in the US this December.
In addition, senior mixer/sound designers Eric Hoffman and Geoff Strasser have created the soundscapes for an experiential motion ride and two documentary films: Lakota Nation vs. United States, which was released by IFC Films, and Boil Alert, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Other TV and film credits include Beyonce’s Black Is King, Homecoming, and Lemonade; HBO’s Random Acts of Flyness and 2 Dope Queens; Hulu’s Ramy; and FX’s Welcome to Wrexham.
Mr. Bronx’s audio bays feature two 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos control rooms with isolation booths and a third room configured for 5.1 surround. Studio A includes a 160-inch projection screen and projector, while all three rooms connect to the 145-square-foot ADR stage via Dante audio networking and live webcam feeds. The audio engineers use OBS to screencast visuals from multiple sources in a custom layout, meaning clients on Zoom can view screen shares of picture references alongside webcam feeds of the control room and talent booths all at once.
The room configurations allow clients to quickly plug in audio from their laptops to the speaker system, while wired and wireless talkback remotes and mics are at all three listening positions of the main control rooms. Beyond the studio rooms, there are multiple coworking spaces where clients can have private or group office time.
“We are proud to have built our space from the ground up, tailored specifically to accommodate our multi-faceted work and diverse clientele,” says Choi. “As our industry adopted hybrid workflows, we recognized the need to design our space to facilitate seamless collaborations for any kind of team configuration. Our commitment to providing a dynamic and adaptable environment reflects our dedication to supporting the evolving needs of our clients and enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with unmatched ease and efficiency.”
As a part of Alanda Ltd, Mr. Bronx’s sister companies include Bandit Editorial, Butter Music and Sound, Honor Society and Scout Design and Animation.
