Rudy Bethancourt upgrades his audio game to Dolby Atmos

Rudy Bethancourt is a GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY-winning audio engineer, music producer, and show programmer with over 25 years of experience in the industry. His impressive portfolio includes collaborations with renowned artists such as Ricky Martin, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Scott Stapp, Carlos Vives, Kany Garcia, Carlos Rivera, Ivy Queen, Ricardo Arjona, Lorde, and Fall Out Boy. Bethancourt’s musical journey began in Guatemala, where he initially made his mark as a musician and band member. His passion led him to also explore the fields of engineering and production.

Bethancourt recently decided it was time to enhance his audio expertise even further by making the transition from stereo to surround at his new Dolby Atmos recording studio, Nine Lives Immersive. To accommodate the immersive projects on which he works, Bethancourt invested in three KRK V6 Series 4 Powered Studio Monitors, as well as ten V4 Series 4, and one pair of V8 Series 4. In addition to his trusted monitors, Bethancourt has two pairs of KRK KNS 8400 Studio Headphones, an S12.4 Powered Studio Subwoofer, and two pairs of a previous generation of V8s.

Nine Lives Immersive features a 9.1.4 Atmos configuration with four monitors mounted on the ceiling, six on stands on the ground, and three on his desk in a left, center, and right arrangement. “The V-Series already sound good on their own; they are transparent, which is important for Atmos,” he explains. “The monitors can adapt to different styles of music, and when you pair them with the S12 Subwoofer, you can get great low end. Even if you don’t use the sub, the V-Series monitors still sound excellent.”
