	Dolby Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dolby Stereo or simply Dolby Analog is the original analog optical technology developed for 35 mm prints and is encoded with four sound channels: Left/Center/Right (which are located behind the screen) and Surround (which is heard over speakers on the sides and rear of the theatre) for ambient sound and special effects.
		Dolby Analog SR or simply Dolby SR (Spectral Recording) is a professional four-channel noise reduction system in use since 1986, which improves the dynamic range of analog recordings and transmissions by as much as 25 dB.
		Dolby E is a professional coding system optimized for the distribution of surround and multichannel audio through two-channel postproduction and broadcasting infrastructures, or for recording surround audio on two audio tracks of conventional digital video tapes, video servers, communication links, switchers, and routers.

	Thomas Dolby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Dolby" nickname comes from the name Dolby Laboratories, and was given to him by friends impressed with his studio tinkering.
		Dolby Laboratories was reportedly very displeased with Robertson using the company name as his own stage name and sued him, trying to stop him from using the name Dolby entirely.
		Dolby's musical talents have also been put to use recently creating hundreds of digital polyphonic ring tones now found on mobile phones everywhere (including the polyphonic version of the infamous Nokia signature theme).

		Dolby "B"'s premise was rather simple; record music with amplified high frequencies and during playback, reduce the high frequencies by the same value.
		Dolby's reputation as a leader in audio technology was greatly enhanced in 1986 with the introduction of a powerful new system, Dolby SR (spectral recording), intended to bring analog recording into the digital age.
		Today the Dolby SR encoded analog optical soundtrack, with its ultra-low noise and distortion, is the state-of-the-art of analog film sound, and is used for the vast majority of releases, including those that also have digital soundtracks.

	Dolby Digital explained
		Dolby Digital (often called 'AC3') is a leap forward in digital technology bringing sound reproduction in the theatre or at home from four channels to six.
		Dolby Labs maintains that even though the sound signal has been manipulated, the resulting Dolby Digital sound can't be differentiated from the 'master' recording when tested by critical listeners.
		Dolby digital sound tracks are encoded on the right of the filmstrip in the space between the sprocket holes.

	Dolby Sound
		There are now Dolby equipped studios in 27 countries set up to mix in the Dolby system, although not all of them are equipped to do SR and/or 70mm Dolby mixes.
		Of course, the full potential of a Dolby SR print will only be realized in a cinema with a SR processor, and Dolby SRD prints with a Dolby digital soundtrack adaptor, together, of course, with a good cinema sound and speaker system.
		Dolby also manages to maintain a wide frequency response, partly by checking that certain standards are met during the mixing and sound neg.

	Hi Fi Writer - Dolby Digital vs DTS
		Dolby says that you can't draw any conclusions from the raw compression figures because it all depends on how well the codec (compression/decompression system) is designed.
		Dolby also says that the DTS 0.1 channel rolls off the bass by a few dB at the top end of the range.
		Dolby says DTS tracks often play louder than Dolby Digital ones due to the latter's dialogue normalisation feature (which is often set to reduce the playback level by 4dB) and an alleged 0.6dB boost in DTS's encoding of broadband material.

		Ray Dolby revolutionized the audio industry in the 1960s by inventing the Dolby System, which electronically reduced the pervasive "hiss" from analog tape sound recording, creating a clearer, crisper sound.
		With the Dolby System, sound is passed through a switchless, knobless encoder as it is recorded, then played back through a decoder, dramatically lowering background noise and hiss with none of the side effects inherent in previous attempts at noise reduction.
		He founded Dolby Laboratories in 1965 to further develop his invention.
