PROFILE

“The sound and music are fifty percent of the entertainment in a movie.”
George Lucas

At Klenka Sound studio, we know that meticulously mastered sound design lends things completely new dimensions. Our work is always creative, reliable, and grounded in our years of experience.

Jiří Klenka, the studio’s owner and founder, studied sound design at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and holds two Czech Lion awards. The Klenka Sound studio team is made up of true professionals who share its founder’s values.

Klenka Sound studio offers a full range of first class services, covering everything from recording live sound through to submitting the final mix for films, serials or advertising.

Our studio is located in a quiet residential area, not far from Prague airport. We have a garden that guests can enjoy during breaks, and if you come to the studio by car you can park on site.

We look forward to your visit.

RECENZES

With Jiří Klenka I can be certain that the sound will be perfect (every time), and I also know that we won´t get into any arguments about it (that´s never happened when I´ve worked with Jiří) and that we´ll have a good laugh (every time). That´s my personal experience of Sound Master Klenka and I don´t know anyone whose experience has been any different. And I´ve known and worked with Jiří for many years!

My film ideas only ever really come to life when they get to Jiří Klenka. I have never come across such a harmonious mix of meticulousness, approachability and professionality anywhere else. Thank you.

I have worked with Jiří Klenka in his studio many times over the past few years. It has not only been a pleasant experience both personally and professionally every time, but moreover every project has benefitted hugely from it artistically. Jiří Klenka is experienced, sensitive and talented. He knows how to give film and TV sound an original, strongly authorial feel, which he builds through technically precise, detailed and careful work. Working with him is always enriching and delightful.

Hi there, Jiří Klenka, dude!
As we filmmakers grow up and sneak a peek back over all the film we´ve turned out and put in front of our audiences, it turns out to have been a pretty portion of hard work! Most of the people we work with come and go over time, pop up and disappear again, to be replaced by others more energetic and with fresh enthusiasm. That´s how things roll in filmmaking... But there are a few who stay. The excitement of being able to work with them again never fades, nor does the joy in knowing that you can rely on them to do their job brilliantly once again, like members of a well-rehearsed orchestra. Jiří, you are one of those rocks that we can always rely on, and I´m already looking forward to making something with you again, whether it´s a feature film or a tiny little short.
Three cheers to you, your work and your company!

The best thing about this studio is its owner and chief sound master. He is a great person and a perfect professional. Highly recommended!

It is always a joy to work with Klenka Sound. It´s a very rare thing to find such a professional approach combined with a relaxed, homely atmosphere, where every detail is attended to with the utmost care and there is no such word as can´t. What’s more, they´re reliable and keep their word, which makes for gold standard collaboration.

Working with Jiří is always a joy. Not only because we have been friends for years, but primarily because of his professionalism, dedication and talent. What´s more, in foreign co-productions his reputation goes before him and his numerous professional awards, which mark pretty regular milestones in his CV, command respect. I´m surprised he doesn´t use the slogan “Klenka sounds good”! Plus he is thorough about attending premieres and other events.

Klenka Sound simply makes great sound. I like Jiří´s approach and enthusiasm. He can manage everything, nothing is a problem and the result sounds perfect.”

Petr Bílek, Filmbrigade

Jiří is an all-round master and guarantor of high quality, professional sound. As a true professional in his field, he is able to accommodate every creative idea and take it to the next level. He knows how to listen patiently, even in stereo!

A superb team, great communication and high quality work. Great collaboration is guaranteed with the Klenka Sound studio.

I have been working with Jiří Klenka and Klenka Sound for a good many years, on projects for both TV and, increasingly, film. We have mixed numerous Czech and foreign films together, and our collaboration has always been fruitful, high quality and invigorating. I think we have similar ideas about sound and a similar approach to our work, so we work very well together. This is one of only a few companies that upholds a very high standard of sound quality and works on a truly professional basis — that is not easy to find these days. I hope we will make plenty more high quality, beautiful sound together.

When you create happily, miracles happen. And that´s what it´s like working with Jiří. As a great sound engineer, he not only creates excellent sound, he can also listen properly. Working with him is like a gentle, inspiring conversation, and when the final mix is ready, you’re not just overjoyed, you´re also sad that it´s coming to an end.

Petra Doležalová, Bluewind

A few years ago, when I first met you, Jiří, I would never have imagined we would make it this long together. The music, sound effects and commentaries created in the Klenka Sound studio have raised our “Escape” series to another level. Having worked on ten projects, spending hours in the studio each time with you and your colleagues, eating and drinking together and occasionally remembering to sleep a bit, I can´t imagine any better collaboration. Thank you, Jiří, for being a perfect professional and a good friend… I´m just annoyed that I’m not the only one who gets along well with you and wants to work with you. So I just hope that you will carry on wanting to be part of our “escapes”. There will be plenty of them!

Jirka and I went to FAMU together and played together in the student band TGM - The Gut Music. That´s all behind us, and now we only meet as grown men and responsible filmmakers. But believe it or not, it´s still a creative experience and great fun…

Ondřej Kepka talks to Jiří Klenka, sound master
He has won two prestigious Czech Lion awards and has been nominated for several more. What does a film sound designer do, and is it an art?

Radiožurnál

Lucie Výborná talks to Hynek Čermák
"Of course. That´s also thanks to the fact that Mr Klenka did the sound—he´s won several Czech Lion Awards as a sound designer—so it was extremely well looked after. Maybe it’s really because first of all it´s the producer’s own life story, secondly a lot of work went into the material, third there was Bebjak, and fourth Klenka”.
