Every sound design studio will need to confront issues associated with the intricacies of DolbyE. Every facility will need to purchase, install, and calibrate sufficient Dolby E processors to regulate, encode, and test every final mix for broadcast. They will also need to become familiar with the film standard of dialogue to dynamic range ratios by controlling and monitoring the LeqA standards that have been used for years in feature film mixing.
However, the transition to Dolby E or Dolby Digital is exciting. Among other benefits consumers will find in Dolby E, the dialogue level will be controlled using a Dolby concept called DialNorm, which equalizes the sound on every channel, virtually eliminating the need to adjust the volume from channel to channel or between programming and commercials because of a difference in audio levels. This level of DialNorm will be stored within the digital signal in metadata that will communicate directly with your TV box and communicate and auto adjust within milliseconds the dialogue levels of different channels, programs and commercials
This new standard will provide a home viewing experience with high quality sound that equals that of the movie theater. All new spots can be created with intricate “Hollywood sound” and sound design professionals need not worry that viewers will miss the nuances of their creations. Even in cases where the picture is not in high definition, high quality sound will be delivered.
From the perspective of a boutique sound design studio, we believe the transition should start early so we are completely prepared to deliver the best quality sound ahead of schedule. It will keep our clients happy and confident with our continued first-up philosophy to invest early in new technologies preparing for this new quality of television experience.

By integrating this technology ahead of schedule, it generates a level of confidence in our ability to deliver projects in the new standard with accuracy, dependability, and professionalism.
