Remembering Ray Dolby
image source: Dolby Labs
On September 12, 2013, sound pioneer Ray Dolby passed away at his home in San Francisco.
From the improvement (no hiss) in cassette recordings to the "Dolby Sound" in the classic blockbuster "Star Wars", music fans and moviegoers know they'll get the ultimate audio experience.
It may be dated and too brief, but here's a clip of the "test" sound I always immediately recognize as Dolby. I know then the movie I'm about to watch is going to sound awesome.
Rest in peace, Mr. Dolby.
