Basic description of Dolby NR

During low-level program material, Dolby
NR acts to boost high-frequency signals.
During playback, these signals are
restored to their original level. Any noise
introduced in between these processes
(during recording) will be reduced in
playback. Dolby NR also employs the
principle of least treatment, leaving high­level signals unprocessed since the
louder program material serves to
effectively mask any tape hiss.

Principe de fonctionnement du Dolby NR

Le dispositif de réduction de bruit Dolby
NR fonctionne en renforçant les signaux
de fréquence élevée lorsque le
programme est à un niveau faible. A la
lecture, ces signaux sont ramenés à leur
niveau d’origine. Tout bruit introduit entre
ces deux processus, c’est-à-dire pendant
l’enregistrement, sera réduit à la lecture.
Le dispositif Dolby NR obéit également au
principe de traitement minimum, c’est à
dire en ne traitant pas les signaux de
niveau élevé puisqu’un niveau sonore
plus élevé a pour effet de masquer
suffisamment tout sifflement sur la bande.
