scope:

This document provides a single set of processes to complete baseline calibration and documentation of sound systems in dubbing stages (mixing rooms), screening rooms, and commercial cinemas to improve the consistency of reproduction, from room to room, of motion picture sound. This set of processes also provides a means to maintain sound system calibration in the future.

For normal repeat calibrations, please refer to SMPTE RP 2096-2, a substantially streamlined procedure which will call upon data collected during this baseline calibration procedure to ensure measurement consistency.
