But Dolby is different in that he didn't actually make any consumer products. Everything was licensed to studios, OEMSs, theaters, etc. His brand was the Microsoft of the consumer audio world.
- vibrolax 13y agoSidney Harman, who died in 2011, gave his name and talents to a golden age consumer/professional audio company. Today Harman International is a holding company for many well-known audio industry brands. I think he is much better known for his financial, philanthropic, and political activities than his technical legacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Sidney_Harman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Sidney_Harman
