State-of-the-Art Cinema Sound Reproduction Systems: Technology Advances and System Design Considerations

Authors: Engebretson, Mark; Eargle, John M.

AES Convention 69 · Paper 1799 · May 1981

Abstract

Today's state of the art criteria for motion picture sound reproduction may fall far short of meeting the demands of motion picture audiences in five to ten year's time. Present day A-chain capabilities far exceed the capabilities of motion picture theater playback equipment, and the gap widens at an ever increasing rate. The authors propose a quantum improvement in film sound playback systems as a necessary ingredient to gain significant improvements in sound quality in the motion picture theater.
