Based at the Expo 2020 site, now called Expo City Dubai, Firdaus Studio is the only music studio in the region to be mentored by Grammy- and Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman, and Dubai’s only certified Dolby Atmos HE studio.
Equipped with best-in-class audio equipment and in-house instruments, Firdaus Studio’s live room is able to accommodate and record up to 80 musicians at once (a full orchestra).
This space is also the home of the Firdaus Orchestra and is where it practises and does most of its work.
Adam Jafrabadi, export director at VDC Trading, commented: “It’s been a pleasure to work with Rocky and Sithara at NMK Electronics on this. When we were over in Dubai recently, we were privileged to have a tour of Firdaus Studio and get a glimpse of the magic that goes on behind the scenes. It’s a well-lit, first class facility with spectacular glass panels that looks out onto manicured green spaces. It was amazing to see Van Damme cables put to use in such an outstanding facility.”
Rocky Solarta at NMK Electronics, said: “As Firdaus’ translates to ‘Paradise’ in Arabic, it was imperative that we were able to provide the very best products on the market to help create a sonic paradise. Firdaus Studio is an excellent orchestral recording facility with superlative equipment including top-of-the range microphones, preamps and consoles – and Van Damme cables. It was an exciting project to be involved in.”
