Gives a presentation closer to the original on movies made from the 1930s to

the 1960s, which relied on high-frequency rolloff for sound balance and to mask
noise. Also useful with DVDs of TV shows if high-pitched noise leaked from a CRT
(cathode ray tube) monitor to the recording during production.
