Overview
We create the sounds of raindrops on a rooftop in a movie, the rhythm in your earbuds at the gym, the footsteps behind you in a video game, the lifelike voice of a colleague on a call, and the brilliance of a sunset on your TV screen. Bringing experiences to life through technology has been our mission from the very beginning.
Our journey started with Ray Dolby, a visionary scientist and inventor. As a passionate engineer and music lover, he was determined to enhance the listening experience. Through dedication and innovation, he developed an elegant and practical solution—one that was sophisticated yet artistically driven. Even as Dolby Laboratories has grown into a global leader, we remain deeply rooted in Ray Dolby’s values, where science meets art, and technology goes beyond just code.
Founded in 1965 and headquartered in San Francisco, Dolby has become a pioneer in audio, imaging, and voice technologies for cinema, home theaters, PCs, mobile devices, and gaming. Our innovations include Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Dolby Voice, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Vision. Today, over 2,000 talented professionals worldwide contribute to crafting the most immersive experiences technology can offer.
