The newest Dolby format, Dolby Digital Surround EX was introduced in 1999, and adds a third surround channel to the Dolby Digital format. Enabling improved realism, more precise sound placement, and exciting special effects, the third channel is reproduced by rear-wall surround speakers, while the left and right surround channels are reproduced by speakers on the side walls. There is no equipment available in Russia at the present time which allows the Surround EX effect to be preserved during the dubbing process. As a result, all films which are dubbed in Russia by definition do not contain authentic Dolby Digital Surround EX sound. So, even if a cinema has Surround EX capability, this fact prevents them from presenting films in true Dolby Digital Surround EX. This is why the Dome Cinema - which presents only non-dubbed films with Russian translation available via headphones - is the only cinema in Russia where moviegoers can enjoy authentic Dolby Digital Surround EX sound. Come and hear the difference!
