From Haarlem to Amsterdam: A new chapter for Top Format

From Top Format to TFA

After decades of crafting world-class audio from the heart of Haarlem, Top Format is turning the page and tuning into the next chapter. This October, we’re moving to Amsterdam, setting up our new home in Houthavens, the city’s creative epicenter and a stone’s throw from the clients and collaborators we’ve grown with over the years.

For us, it’s more than just a change of address, it’s a whole new frequency. We’re embracing a new vision, and the shift from Top Format to TFA has never been clearer.

Houthavens is where Amsterdam’s creative pulse beats strongest. It's where production houses, agencies, and storytellers of all kinds converge. By joining them, we’re not just getting closer to the action, we’re becoming part of the current. Faster collaboration. Real-time creativity. 

The new Amsterdam studios

Although still in the process, we are building a new creative nest featuring four new studios built for post and music production, one of them being for our excitement to share in Dolby Atmos! We create tailor-made sound that helps brands and agencies stand out, whether it’s for radio, television, film, podcasts, or online campaigns, we’re ready for what’s next and built for it.

That heritage is in our DNA, no matter the postcode. But now, we pair it with the immediacy and electricity of Amsterdam.

Whilst the studios are still in a step by step building process, we are thrilled to see the new additions every month, until we get the final result. 

Whether you’ve known us for years or you’re just discovering us, welcome to our next era.
