Shape 65
15-year career audio engineer, Daniela Rivera, is a four-time technical award nominee, including an EMMY & recent 2025 Avidity Award nomination for 'Best Mixing Engineer’ — for her role as Dolby Atmos Engineer on Rudy Currence’s billboard charting single “God Don’t Cancel Me”. She has contributed to GRAMMY-winning projects and is credited with over 40-billion streams that earned Multi-Platinum & Diamond Certifications. In and out of the studio, her commitment to the industry is reflected in her role as The Recording Academy’s Atlanta Chapter Secretary and Chair of the Producers & Engineers Wing. Daniela's work is a testament to her dedication to audio quality, a pursuit she shares with Focal, as a brand she personally trusts in her Atlanta home studio using Focal Shape 65.

"Stylish, smart, and sonically spot-on! I was first drawn to the sleek walnut finish, but it’s the Shape 65’s precision that proved essential to my workflow. Brilliant stereo imaging, unapologetic midrange, tight low-end, and revealing highs ensure accurate mixes translate across systems. In my compact studio space, these nearfields are my most trusted mixing companions."
