Audio pioneer Ray Dolby dies aged 80

Ray Dolby, the US engineer who founded Dolby Laboratories and pioneered noise reduction in audio recordings, has died in San Francisco aged 80.

Mr Dolby had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for several years and was diagnosed with leukaemia this summer.

His name became synonymous with home sound systems and cinema, and his work won many awards.

You knew you had a bad ass tape deck when it had a DOLBY NR setting on it.

I hope they bury him with some CrO2 cassettes. :(

Incidentally, Dolby True Hd is not that popular anymore, although Dolby Atmos is the best sound possible for cinemas.

PS: damn it, I'm old. I got Comte Largent's reference :(
