Best Sound Design Studios in Stockholm (2026)

Introduction

The nine Stockholm sound design studios below cover audio post for drama and commercials, Dolby Atmos mixing, game audio and original music for picture. Most are small, owner-run companies, which is typical of the Swedish sound scene.

The city’s sound work draws on three steady sources. Broadcast drama and radio from SVT, TV4 and Sveriges Radio keeps the audio post rooms busy. Advertising brings commercial mixes, trailers and cinema spots. The third source is games: DICE, Paradox and Mojang are all Stockholm studios, and several of the companies below record and design sound for titles such as Battlefield 6, Crusader Kings III and Minecraft. Epidemic Sound, the music and sound effects library, is also headquartered in the city.

Every studio here showed an active Stockholm studio when we checked in October 2026, and Greater Stockholm (including the archipelago) counts. The list is unranked, since the right studio depends on whether you need a broadcast mix, a game soundscape or a 20-second spot turned around in a day.

2. Pole Position Production

Independent · Södermalm · pole.se

Pole Position Production is a full-service audio company for games, film and industrial sonification, based on Vindragarvägen at the western end of Södermalm. Its services run from field recording and interactive sound design to game implementation, music and full audio post for cinematics, short films and trailers. The company cites 15 years of field recording and sound design work, and moved into a new office during 2025.

Recent game credits include Battlefield 6, ARC Raiders, Split Fiction and Dawn of War IV. In 2026 it wrote up its sessions recording brick walls and trees being destroyed for DICE’s Battlefield 6, and its film work includes recording period aircraft and boats for Dunkirk. It also sells its own sound effects libraries, which helps when a project needs custom recordings and library material from the same source.

3. Ambiens Studio

Independent · Södermalm · ambiens.studio

Ambiens is a music production and sound design studio on Krukmakargatan. It offers sound design, dialogue editing, voice-over recording and mixing, and writes original music in styles from orchestral scores and trailer music to electronic and modular work. Its Samsung film “Wilhelm Scream” was nominated for Best Audio at Guldägget in 2020, and its work has been featured on Motionographer and Vimeo Staff Picks.

The client list leans towards games and brands: several Minecraft updates (Caves & Cliffs, Trails & Tales, the Nether Update), Crusader Kings III, Dune Awakening and the Esports World Cup, alongside Volkswagen, Komatsu, PostNord and Stiga. Film work includes the feature Aniara.

4. Kombatant

Independent · Östermalm · kombatant.se

Kombatant is a Dolby Atmos certified sound production company on Skeppargatan that has been running for just over 20 years. It handles sound design, mixing and original music for TV, radio and cinema commercials, trailers, corporate films and events, plus voice casting, audiobooks, podcasts and sound restoration.

Clients and projects listed on its site include Top Gun: Maverick, Filmstaden, Paramount+, SkyShowtime, TV4, Klarna, Atlas Copco and Saab. The Atmos certification matters if your spot or trailer is going to cinema, since it means the room can deliver a certified Atmos mix in-house.

5. Tint

Independent · Hornstull · tintpost.se

Tint is a full post-production house on Hornsgatan, with three sound suites for sound design and mixing alongside colour, editing, VFX and online. A sister office sits a few doors along at Hornsgatan 178.

Featured work on its site includes the features Triangle of Sadness, Julie Keeps Quiet and Tron: Ares, a Volvo commercial and the series Skiftet. It suits productions that want the mix in the same building as the grade and online; ask which projects the sound team worked on, since the showreel covers every department.

6. JE-Digital

Independent, owner-run · Värmdö · je-digital.se

JE-Digital is a one-person studio run by mixer and sound designer Jesper Eriksson on Värmdö, in the Stockholm archipelago. It does Dolby Atmos and stereo mixing for film, TV, streaming, games and radio, along with sound design, voice-over and ADR recording, and file-based delivery masters.

Broadcast work includes the final mix of SVT’s Fråga Lund (premiered May 2025), sound design and final mix for Alderskris (September 2025) and the Atmos documentary One Planet One Chance, plus Swedish ADR for Netflix’s Den svenska länken. Advertising clients include Hallon, Marabou (a 2025 TV spot with Ingo Stockholm) and Bethard, whose 2026 World Cup campaign it mixed. As a single-person studio, check availability early for tight broadcast deadlines.

7. Momento Studio

Independent · Central Stockholm · momentostudio.se

Momento Studio is a sound and music studio that has operated since 2017, with rooms in central Stockholm and in the archipelago. Ted Krotkiewski heads production. Services cover sound design, music production and mixing for film, TV and commercials, with an editing suite on site.

The studio has worked with artists including Zara Larsson, Loreen, Elliphant and Niki & The Dove. In 2019 it co-founded the Tempo Sound Awards with Tempo, Stockholm’s documentary film festival, which gives it close ties to the city’s documentary scene.

8. Poststation

Independent · Stockholm · poststation.se

Poststation does sound design, recording and post-production for documentaries, commercials, drama, web content, podcasts and audiobooks, working from Stockholm and from Brännö in the Gothenburg archipelago. The team cites more than 35 years in professional audio, and location recording is a separate service.

Recent portfolio entries from 2025 include the drama Ann-Marie väljer glädje and a Stryktipset commercial, “En tradition är en tradition”. It is a practical choice for documentary and drama producers who want one team from location sound to final mix.

9. Rösthantverkarna

Independent · Enskede · rosthantverkarna.se

Rösthantverkarna is a voice and audio production studio on Götaforsvägen in Enskede, south Stockholm, a short walk from Stureby metro. It produces audiobooks, voice-overs, podcasts and audio description, and offers sound design and studio hire, running jobs from casting through to final mix.

The site names no clients, so ask for a reel that matches your format. It fits voice-led work best: narration, audio description and podcast series where casting and recording matter as much as the mix.

What to look for in a Stockholm sound design studio

Start with the delivery spec. Swedish broadcasters and cinema chains each have their own loudness and format requirements, and a cinema spot or trailer may need a Dolby Atmos mix from a certified room. Ask the studio which formats it delivers as standard and whether the final mix happens in-house or goes elsewhere.

Match the studio to the medium. Game audio, with field recording, implementation and interactive sound, is a different discipline from mixing a 30-second commercial or a six-part drama. Stockholm has specialists in each, and several of the smaller studios above are run by one or two people, so the person on the call is usually the person doing the work.

Sort out music rights early. Original music from the studio, library tracks and commercially released songs each come with different licences, and STIM registration may apply for original compositions. Ask who owns the stems and the score once the job is delivered, and whether the studio can supply alternative cuts for social and radio.

Finally, agree how review rounds will run. Sound work produces a lot of versions: rough mixes, stems, alt lines, session files and final masters. A studio that keeps everything in one place, takes timecoded notes and tracks which comments have been dealt with will save time on every round.

How Fabric helps sound design teams

Fabric gives a sound studio one workspace for session files, stems, reference material and client feedback, with AI search across all of it. Large audio and video files sit in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and shared team folders always hold the latest version. There is more on this in why audio sessions end up scattered.

Uploaded recordings are transcribed and searchable, with clickable timestamps, across MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV and WebM files. That makes it quicker to find a line in a voice-over session or an interview take. Search works by meaning across documents, transcripts and connected apps, and results jump straight to the right timestamp.

For review, share a mix or a picture-locked cut with the client as a commenter. Shared links work without sign-up, and commenters can leave timestamped comments on audio and video, draw on a video frame to point at a sync issue, and comment on scripts and PDFs. The team marks each comment completed as it is fixed, so the notes work like a checklist for the next round.

For final delivery, any file or folder can be published as a web page with password protection. Published links are view-only, with optional download. Link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a link and how long they spent with it.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best sound design studio in Stockholm?

It depends on the job. For broadcast drama and radio, Ljudbang has a long list of SVT and Sveriges Radio credits. For games, Pole Position Production and Ambiens Studio have recent work on Battlefield 6, Minecraft and Crusader Kings III. For cinema commercials and trailers, Kombatant runs a Dolby Atmos certified room.

Which Stockholm studios mix in Dolby Atmos?

Kombatant is Dolby Atmos certified, and JE-Digital mixes in Atmos and stereo for film, TV, streaming and games. Ask any studio for its delivery formats before booking.

Do Stockholm sound studios work on games?

Yes. Stockholm is home to DICE, Paradox and Mojang, and studios such as Pole Position Production and Ambiens Studio record, design and implement sound for games as well as linear media.

Should I use a dedicated sound studio or a full post house?

A full post house such as Tint keeps sound, colour, editing and online in one building, which helps on tight schedules. Dedicated studios often bring deeper specialism in one area, such as games or voice. If you need a full house, see the best post-production companies in Stockholm.

How should I share mixes and stems with a sound studio?

Use one shared folder for references, stems and session files, and send review versions through a link that lets the client leave timestamped notes. Agree file naming and who owns the final stems at the start of the job.
