There seems to be a fairly consistent criticism of films and TV shows these days concerning sound mixing. I have heard countless complaints of crucial dialogue being drowned out by ambient sound effects or overbearing soundtracks. Take Christopher Nolan's time-bending epic Tenet, in which dialogue is often playing second fiddle to the thumping abstract score or extremely loud gunshots, making the dialogue difficult to follow at times.
Thankfully, DTS has swooped to the rescue with its recently announced AI-powered Clear Dialogue technology, which (if the name doesn't give it away) improves the clarity of dialogue on TV speakers. It's being demonstrated here in Berlin at IFA, I have just heard it in action – and I'm pleasantly surprised at how effective it is.
