The magic inside Dolby

The rain on the roof in a movie. The music flowing through your earbuds when you're at the gym. The footsteps lurking behind you in a video game. The voice of a colleague on a call who seems to be right next to you. The breathtakingly vivid sunset on your TV.

We make experiences come alive through our innovative audiovisual technologies. It's been our mission since day one.

It began with our founder, Ray Dolby, a visionary scientist and inventor. As a young engineer and music lover, he was driven to improve the listening experience. With that simple motivation, after countless hours of experimentation, he created a solution that was elegant and practical, highly sophisticated, and completely devoted to the artist's vision. He never stopped innovating and now neither do we.

Today, Dolby Laboratories is home to hundreds of scientists and engineers dedicated to the study of human perception, the experience of artistic immersion, and the joy of creative invention. We pour our energy and imagination into creating technological breakthroughs that are transforming audio and visual experiences in ways you never thought possible.
