OLLO Audio room at ACM facilities

At OLLO Audio, we’re all about building the tools that deliver accurate sound and empowering the next generation of audio professionals. That’s why we love working with institutions that prioritize hands-on experience and real-world skills.

ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) is one of the leading creative industry education hubs in Europe, offering top-tier programs in Music Performance, Songwriting, Production, Business, and more. Their mission is clear—providing students with the tools and opportunities to excel in their fields.

As part of this mission, ACM has set up a dedicated OLLO Audio Room within their facilities—a space where students can fully immerse themselves in mixing and mastering using OLLO headphones as their primary reference.

Hollie Beadell, Studios Facilities Manager at ACM, shares:

"The OLLO Audio room is a dedicated production suite for our Production students to mix in. It’s designed as a space where budding mixing and mastering engineers can fully immerse themselves in their craft.

We’ve intentionally kept the setup minimal—equipped only with small monitors (Edifier MR3s)—so the focus remains entirely on the headphones. The room is painted a rich royal blue, with OLLO Audio visuals to create an inspiring and professional atmosphere."

Why OLLO Headphones?

"I had been using OLLO headphones in my own home studio and quickly realized they would be a perfect fit for ACM.

We’ve never had a partnership with a headphone-only company before, and OLLO’s approach aligns with ACM’s belief that mixing with headphones is a crucial skill in today’s industry. Their open-back design and natural sound signature make them ideal for students learning how to achieve professional results in various listening environments."

Why ACM Students Love OLLO Headphones

"We recommend OLLO headphones because they are handcrafted by someone who genuinely cares about audio.

The students immediately love how they feel and fit, and as soon as they start mixing, they appreciate the clarity and detail. OLLO headphones give them a reliable reference they can trust, helping them develop their critical listening skills and refine their mixes with confidence."
