Jimmy Douglass equips latest studio with KRK monitors and subwoofers for stereo and Dolby Atmos applications

Five-time Grammy Award-winning recording engineer and producer Jimmy Douglass has a career spanning over four decades. Throughout his time in the music industry, he has worked with artists like Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, and Foreigner, to contemporary performers such as Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, and many more.

Douglass’ Miami studio consists of two stereo rooms and one Dolby Atmos room. A longtime KRK user, the studio currently consists of a collection of V-Series V8 Powered Studio Monitors, Classic 8 Powered Studio Monitors, and S10 Powered Studio Subwoofers. After nearly two decades of using KRK in his workspaces, he turned to the brand again when it came time to build his Dolby Atmos studio. “I had about twenty KRK monitors in my inventory, so I decided to use those to build my Dolby system”, he says. “I have them on stands around the room, which makes it a portable configuration. I can break it down at any time, and I don’t have to commit. To me, that is the beauty of that system.”

Douglass has a relationship with KRK since the early 2000s and has used his KRKs on a few recent projects, and he does not plan to stop anytime soon. “I was lucky enough to get to redo Justin Timberlake’s catalog in Atmos”, he says. “My KRKs were very instrumental to that project. The songs sound amazing when you get to hear them on the speakers in the immersive environment. I tried to listen back on my phone in binaural, but I was not getting the spatial dimension that I was experiencing from listening through speakers. So, those were very important throughout the whole process.”
