FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Andrea Lo Solfo builds Warsaw’s The House of Music around Genelec

NATICK, MA, July 22, 2026 — The House of Music is the personal vision of Italian producer and former DJ Andrea Lo Solfo, a major figure in the Italian dance and progressive scene in the 1990s and 2000s. Lo Solfo now works outside the music industry – but has never lost his love of music production. With that passion still burning brightly, Lo Solfo set his mind on the creation of a state-of-the-art music studio in Warsaw: and so, The House of Music was born, powered exclusively by Genelec Smart Active Monitoring. Combining Italian taste with Polish precision, the facility fuses Lo Solfo’s personal aesthetic with his wife Gosia’s architectural sensibility. “Our goal was to create a genuinely multi-purpose creative space with a Dolby Atmos mixing room, a fully featured production studio, and a DJ performance area – all within a high-end architectural setting with a single acoustically optimized environment,” explains Lo Solfo. But crucially, the facility also has a broader educational mission. “We also wanted to create a Dolby-certified facility capable of hosting producers, serving as a laboratory for immersive audio production, and acting as a base for educational activities and courses focused on Dolby Atmos Music and immersive workflows,” Lo Solfo reveals. “With this, we can position the studio as a true laboratory for music creation rather than a purely post-production environment.” With Acusticarte from Rome handling the facility construction, the acoustic and interior design were masterminded by Studio Sound Service from Florence. “We actually began the design back in 2017, when Andrea and Gosia were still planning the construction of the new facility,” comments Studio Sound Service’s Donato Masci. “Since the building itself was intended to realize Andrea’s vision for the music studio, the construction and optimization spanned several years, with the pandemic further extending the timeline.” The growth of immersive technology also influenced the development of the project. “Initially, the room design didn’t account for Atmos at all,” says Masci. “Then, as immersive audio became an industry standard, the project underwent a complete revision. The concept was adapted to meet Atmos requirements, and some of the more complex curved elements were simplified to ensure practical implementation,” he explains. A second major development involved the Artnovion console and instrument system. “What began with the simple requirement of ‘just a small keyboard’ evolved into a complex setup,” says Masci. “Percorsi Audio – Fausto Demetrio and Luca Ravagni – optimized the system so that Andrea can power on the studio, walk in, and immediately play any instrument, all fully patched and ready to use,” Masci adds. The studio’s 7.1.4 immersive system features a pair of Genelec 1238As as main L/R monitors with a horizontal 1238AC in the center position, complemented by eight 8340As for surrounds and overheads. A 7380A subwoofer handles LF duties. The room also includes two pairs of compact 8341A three-way coaxial monitors – one pair for stereo nearfield work at the front of the room, with the second pair integrated into the DJ set-up at the rear of the space. “Genelec was selected based on strong musical and technical considerations, fully aligned between the client and the design team,” says Masci. “The monitor choices proved particularly effective when the project was adapted for Dolby Atmos Music. The horizontal 1238AC performed optimally as the center channel, saving vertical space and allowing seamless integration of the screen above it,” he adds. Lo Solfo has high praise indeed for the quality of the monitoring system: “The stereo image is extremely accurate, the low end remains tight and controlled, and the overall translation is remarkably consistent even at different listening levels. At the same time, the system preserves a natural warmth that makes long sessions comfortable and inspiring. It allows me to hear every nuance of a mix with confidence, from subtle dynamics to spatial details, without ever sounding harsh or fatiguing,” he comments. This ability to mix with confidence has given Lo Solfo a distinct advantage. “Genelec has significantly improved both the efficiency of my workflow and the overall quality of my mixes,” he explains. “The accuracy of the monitoring environment allows me to make critical decisions much faster, with far less second-guessing during production and final mix stages. This level of trust in the monitoring chain enables a more creative and focused workflow, while ultimately delivering mixes that are more precise, immersive and emotionally engaging.” For more information, please visit www.genelec.com.

Genelec is credited with promoting the concept of active transducer technology. Since its inception in 1978, Genelec has concentrated its efforts and resources into creating active monitors with unparalleled sonic integrity. The result is an active speaker system that has earned global acclaim for its accurate imaging, extremely high acoustic output from small enclosures, true high-fidelity with low distortion, and deep, rich bass. Genelec is also marking its 20th year of Smart Active Monitoring™ technology, which allows studio monitors to be connected, configured and calibrated for the user’s specific acoustic environment. Each Smart Active Monitor or subwoofer is equipped with advanced internal DSP circuitry, which tightly integrates with the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software application, running on Mac or PC. GLM’s reference microphone kit allows the user’s acoustic environment to be analyzed, after which GLM’s AutoCal feature optimizes each Smart Active Monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover phase and room response equalization, with the option of further fine tuning by the user. By minimizing the room’s influence on the sound, Smart Active Monitors deliver an unrivalled reference, with excellent translation between rooms.
