'''Dolby A''' is a sound format that incorporates a Dolby A-Type noise reduction process. It is used in many aspects of analog recording but for the purposes of Sprocket School we will be talking exclusively about its use with 35mm stereo optical track prints and 35mm/70mm film prints with [[magnetic sound|magnetic soundtracks]]. It is a 4 channel format- left, center, right and surround. | '''Dolby A''' is a sound format that incorporates a Dolby A-Type noise reduction process.
