DOLBY 363

NOISE REDUCTION UNIT

DOLBY 363 SR/A NOISE REDUCTION UNIT

The Dolby Model 363 provides two channels of noise reduction switchable

between Dolby SR (Spectral Recording) and Dolby A-type.The economical 1-U high unit is intended for all kinds of audio facilities: music recording,video postproduction, broadcast,multimedia,and film.

Record/playback changeover of each channel can be controlled individually from the front panel,a tape recorder,or a remote control,allowing a single Model 363 to serve for stereo recording applications.Front-panel toggle switches select Dolby SR,Dolby A-type,or no processing.A setup button and four-element LED calibration displays allow quick alignment using internally generated Dolby tone for A-type or Dolby noise for SR. As with all other implementations of Dolby SR,the Model 363 features Auto Compare for verifying the performance of the audio system.

The Model 363 is also ideal for applications requiring dedicated encode or decode operation.A pair of 363 units can be used for simultaneous record and playback on twochannel tape recorders,or for transmission

systems where the encoder and decoder are physically separated.In single-channel recording applications,a single unit can be used for simultaneous record and playback.

The Model 363 incorporates electronically balanced transformerless input and output circuits.Independent level adjustments for the record and playback signal paths allow accurate matching of existing line levels.A Check Tape switch allows monitoring of either the line-in signal or the encoded tape while recording.Bypass buttons make it possible to remove either or both channels from the entire audio system for studio alignment.

The Model 363 is normally supplied with two Cat.No.300 modules,which contain both Dolby SR and Dolby A-type processing.A Dolby SR-only version using Cat.No.350 modules is also available.Note: Cat.No.22 and Cat.No.280 modules cannot be used in the Model 363.

For multichannel applications,the Dolby SRP Series is available to provide up to 24 channels of Dolby SR noise reduction.

DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION

Dolby noise reduction is a family of signal processes that reduce the noise inherent in analog recording media, without affecting the sound being recorded. While they differ in performance and details of operation, all Dolby NR systems are complementary processes that first encode the music when it is recorded, then decode it when it is played back. They also treat soft signals separately from loud ones, and vary the NR action with frequency to avoid the side effects typical of other systems.

Dolby A-type noise reduction, introduced in 1965, was originally intended for use by professional recording studios to make quieter master tape recordings. In the early 1970s its use was extended to film studios and motion picture release prints to make films sound better.

Dolby SR (spectral recording), introduced in 1986, was designed not only to provide more noise reduction than A-type, but also to enable analog master recordings that equal or surpass 16-bit digital recordings with respect to overall dynamic range. Today, analog with Dolby SR is still a preferred format for some musicians, producers, and recording and mastering facilities, and is the standard format for the analog soundtracks of virtually all feature films.
