7-Apr-00

The creative team behind Universal's ""U-571,"" a World War II submarine suspense film directed by Jonathan Mostow, is re-recording an intricate soundtrack with unique eight-channel Sony Dynamic Digital SoundÆ (SDDSÆ). Developed by Sony Cinema Products Corp., the SDDS motion picture soundtrack format provides the ability to convey up to eight channels of sound around the audience. With SDDS, an additional pair of left-center and right-center loudspeakers, located on both sides of the center speaker, provides many creative and technical advantages for filmmakers.Source: CreativePlanet.com
