Ancillary Equipment.
Most studios have an array of signal processors available, and some are indispensable for
proper Dolby Surround production. Limiters top the list, and some may need to be dual- or
triple-ganged in special cases. Time delays, phasers/flangers, echo/reverb and equalization
are also possibilities. A Dolby Surround mixing consultant will be instrumental in sorting out
specific processor needs for a given production.
Dolby Surround Mixing Consultants
Dolby Surround mixing consultants are available to assist with the initial installation of the
equipment and to perform the alignment of the encoder, decoder and monitoring system.
Instruction on the use of equipment may also be available at this time. Dolby consultants are
also available for staff training. All services are on a time plus travel service contract basis and
are billed at half day or full day rates.

under various agreements. Certain conditions apply to the use of Dolby logos for trademark
protection purposes. A license to use any Dolby Logo is required of the owner of the work (not
