John Iles joined Dolby Laboratories in 1976 following a rewarding career as a sound mixer and studio manager for major international recording artists in the 1960 and ’70s. As a key member of the Dolby UK team John helped usher in the early use of Dolby Stereo sound in films produced in England and later in all the main European territories. Using his extensive experience in audio to enable this new film format John helped forge the adoption of Dolby technologies among film technicians and movie theatre owners throughout Europe. Among his many accomplishments at Dolby was his personal involvement in most of the major films produced in Dolby formats in the ’70s and ’80s in Europe.
In his current role John manages a team of sound consultants that provides technical support for Dolby film production in areas other than the Americas and Japan. He is a Fellow of the the British Kinematograph Sound and Television Society (BKSTS). In 1992 he was awarded the Charles Parkhouse Award for services to the British film industry.
