In 2014, an SMPTE report stated that sound consistency between dubbing stages and performance venues was not respected. SMPTE technical commission studied this issue in 3 commercial cinemas and 3 dubbing stages in Hollywood using the impulse response method. This lack in sound consistency is probably imputable to the use of a wrong calibration system (RTA + Pink Noise Method) that is time-blind and does not mimic the perceptual listening of the human being. A campaign of measurements has been conducted in Rome to test the acoustic properties of a dubbing stage room and a cinema performance room. Two measurement systems were implemented: One for the extraction of ISO 3382 parameters (Omni, Binaural, Soundfield) and one for studying the spatial distribution of sound in the room (Eigenmike TM ).
