It is likely that on more than one occasion, while you were enjoying a movie or one serie, you have been faced with the unpleasant surprise of having to deal with barely audible dialogue compared to deafening sound effects and music. The most obvious solution is usually the constant adjustment of the volume buttons on the remote control. However, as we have learned on other occasions, there are other methods to achieve a more homogeneous sound balance. Take note because we explain how you can put an end to the problem we all have with the television and say goodbye to turning the volume down and up.
Say goodbye to lowering and raising the volume on the television
Many times you turn up the volume on the TV while watching your favorite series or a movie with great action scenes and although you notice that the volume is excessive, you still can’t hear the dialogues wellor in fact, you notice the mismatch between the voice of the people, and the rest of the sounds or the soundtrack.
The problem is in the multichannel conversion
The root of this problem stems from the mismanagement of the multi-channel to stereo conversion. When recording movies or series, studios use multiple channels to capture sound, creating multi-channel tracks intended for 5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos audio systems. The conflict arises when our homes are not equipped with these sound systems. or when broadcast platforms reduce these tracks for transmission via DTT or streaming.
This is something that can be problematic, since certain channels are prioritized to the detriment of others, such as the central channel, where the dialogues are located. In this way, a disparity in the sound balance is created, something that you have probably already experienced.
Alternatives for a pleasant listening experience
Fortunately, there are several solutions that you can implement to enjoy an optimal listening experience, without the need to constantly turn the volume up and down.
A first step is to explore the sound settings of your television to find the audio mode that emphasizes dialogue. Many modern televisions have this presetallowing you to improve the clarity of voices in movies and series.
Another option is to balance the mix levels using the built-in equalizer on most TVs. Adjusting the equalization to emphasize vocal frequencies and reduce unwanted interference can improve the audibility and distinction of dialogue. By masking low frequencies, dialogue becomes clearer.
Some TV models also include automatic sound adjustment functionswhich allows you to emphasize aspects such as voices and, in this way, improve the hearing of the dialogues.
Buy a ‘Home cinema’ or a sound bar
These solutions are practical and do not imply additional expenses. However, if you want an exceptional sound experience that encompasses dialogue, music and sound effects, Consider investing in a home theater system or sound bar.
Once you have these devices, it is essential to test the audio mix to ensure that dialogue is clearly audible. To achieve the ideal balance for both your soundbar and home theater system, adjust the mix according to your preferences and the limitations of your audio equipment.
Finally, keep in mind that, in addition to equipment preferences and limitations, the hearing capacity of each person, the context and the style of the film influence in the perception of sound.
With these recommendations, you’ll be ready to say goodbye to annoying volume fluctuations. and enjoy your favorite movies and series with balanced and surround sound. The key is to tailor your TV’s audio setup and, if possible, complement it with a sound system that makes your TV experience truly immersive.
