Your source audio’s mix levels are of course completely up to you.
Your DCP is meant to be played in the cinema – so you can (and should) use the wide dynamic range available for your audio mix.
But – be aware that in certain countries (like the US or Germany) there are rules regarding the overall loudness of commercials and trailers.
Common Leq(m) values:
- Commercials / Ads / Spots: Leq(m) 82
- Trailers: Leq(m) 85
We’ll measure the Leq(m) values for any audio track before we create your DCP. In case we find extrem deviations from the norm, we will contact you directly.
