OUR FOUNDER

KINSON TSANG
1957 – 2017

Driven by a passion for sound, film and music, Kinson founded MBS Studios in 1989. He grew up constantly listening to music, and he learned to play the guitar and piano in his youth. He was always taking apart speakers and putting together his own audio systems. Already then he knew that a career in sound was what he wanted to pursue.

Although his family had other expectations and hopes for him, he could not abandon his fascination for sound and so Kinson went on to study Audio Engineering in Canada. After completing his studies, together with all his newly acquired knowledge, he returned to Hong Kong. Initially, Kinson worked at the major Hong Kong local television broadcasting company, HKTVB, but then decided to set up his own company. And MBS was born.

Over the following years, MBS flourished under Kinson’s leadership and soon became a leading sound studio in Asia. Close co-operation with directors, and a distinct focus on creativity and sensitivity to sonic details, allowed MBS to enhance the emotional and communicative power of film sound, thereby deepening the film experience. Kinson was the recipient of many awards in recognition for his soundscapes;  The Hong Kong Film Awards, The Taiwan Golden Horse Award, even the International Fajr Film Festival Award, to name a few.

Kinson was fanatical about audio quality and the latest technological innovations, investing heavily in the studio. It was his relentless quest for quality that made MBS the first studio in Hong Kong to mix a full feature length movie in Dolby Digital 5.1. In addition to this, MBS was the first to introduce many other major audio technologies to Hong Kong, including: DTS, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Surround 7.1, Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos for Home.

Since its beginnings in 2012, Kinson and the MBS team have been very involved with Dolby Atmos theatrical productions. At Dolby’s worldwide launch for Atmos at CinemaCon in 2012, Kinson was invited to participate in the panel event, ‘Distinguished Panelists Discuss Dolby Atmos from Their Perspective’. Other speakers included Ioan Allen (Senior Vice President, Dolby), Erik Aadahl (Sound Designer), Paul Chichocki (Post Production Supervisor, Pixar), Tom Stephenson (CEO, Look Cinemas), Francois Ivernel (Movie Producer and Chairman, Les Cinemas Gaumont Pathe) and Michael MacDonald (Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Harman Professional).
