Movie sound production is a complex and painstaking process, requiring multiple teams of individuals with special skills to create and mix the dialogue, music, and sound effects that comprise a typical Dolby Atmos movie soundtrack.
How do I know this? I spent two days touring the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, California where Sony produces the soundtracks for its films. The reason I was at the studio was to see the new Sony TV lineup for 2024, along with the new Sony Dolby Atmos soundbars, but Sony also provided me and other tech writers with a behind-the-scenes look at the studio’s production processes.
During the visit, we were treated to demonstrations of Foley effects, ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) and soundtrack mixing. These, along with musical score composition, are the building blocks of soundtrack creation, and when executed well, add up to the detailed and dramatic soundscapes that can be fully appreciated when watching movies on the best Dolby Atmos soundbars and speakers.
A key takeaway from my visit was that movie soundtracks contain only fragments of “live” sound captured during the actual shooting process. Most of the soundtrack is created completely from scratch in the studio, with dialogue, footsteps, rustling leaves and wind, motor sounds, and explosions added after the fact. Another takeaway was that a typical soundtrack is comprised of a surprisingly wide array of audio elements, all of which ultimately get mixed into a seamless whole. I’ll step through the various processes I caught demonstrations of below.

Foley effects
Before my Sony Pictures Studio tour, I thought many of the sounds you hear in modern movies were sourced from a library of digital audio samples. And while there is some of that going on, the vast majority of sounds are created by a Foley artist.
These sound magicians summon up an array of audio effects using plain, everyday objects in highly creative ways and maintain a vast library of said objects to aid them in that task. During the demo, Sony Studios Foley artist Gary Hecker performed the various sounds that went into a Western movie scene of a band of horses being driven through a forest. Hoofbeat sounds were created using what looked like an antique tool pounded on a dirt-covered surface, while other objects were used to generate rustling leaves and jostling spurs. Hecker created the whinnying sounds the horses made when halted with his own voice, and the effect was strikingly naturalistic.
After watching the scene’s various effects created one by one, they were edited together with sound processing added to make them louder and more dynamic, and the result was an authentic-sounding movie action scene. In another demo, the sound of Spider-Man shooting webs to leap from building to building was quickly created using a whip, and, after a bit of processing, the effect was convincingly Spider-Man-like.

ADR
When an actor signs on to make a movie, part of the work involves the actual shooting of scenes, but another equally important part is overdubbing dialogue later in a process called ADR. As with other soundtrack elements, a scene’s dialogue is almost completely re-constructed in a studio to ensure it sounds clear and easy to understand. While no actors were on hand for Sony’s ADR demo, we got to see a studio where ADR is edited and hear examples of dialogue recorded post-shoot being inserted into a scene.

Soundtrack mixing
After all the sound effects creation, ADR, and music scoring work is complete, the soundtrack is ready to be mixed. The large room – a space with Japanese garden-themed decor – where Sony’s soundtrack mixing demo took place was one of 14 mixing rooms at the studio, and was a medium-sized mixing room according to Sony. Even so, it had a total of 38 speakers for mixing soundtracks in Dolby Atmos. (We were told during the demo that all soundtracks are also later mixed in a smaller home theater-type space for an Atmos home video release.)
Using the Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) soundtrack for the demo, Sony sound mixer Jeff Gross played the multiple tracks in the mix individually so we could hear them in isolation. The demo also alternated between a full soundtrack mix and just the Dolby Atmos height effects, allowing us to hear how much Atmos effects contribute to a soundtrack. Short version: a lot. Coming away from the experience, I had a renewed appreciation for immersive soundtrack formats like Dolby Atmos, and of the importance of reproducing Atmos soundtracks adequately at home.
It’s not every day you get to wander around a legendary Hollywood studio and watch people at work making movies. I may have been there to check out the new Sony TVs and soundbars, but I also got to experience movie soundtrack production, which is a more magical, intense, and involved process than I ever imagined.
The Audio Pro C20 has a lot of connectivity options. As anyone familiar with the category of best wireless speakers knows, a box of drivers that’s able to harness your home’s Wi-Fi network can offer superior sound to that afforded by a Bluetooth connection, whether music is accessed via Google Cast, Apple’s AirPlay, ‘connected’ services such as Tidal Connect (which actually lets you stream losslessly in 24-bit hi-res, where AirPlay taps out at 16-bit CD quality) or a dedicated multi-room app such as the Audio Pro Control app. And the Audio Pro C20 offers all of this.
But just quickly, let’s explain why Audio Pro’s latest wireless speaker is worth your time from a technical perspective. First off, pinging music over Bluetooth from phone to speaker incurs compression. Wi-Fi’s higher bandwidth means you can listen in (very) high resolution, up to 24-bit/192kHz. Now, a Wi-Fi enabled speaker accesses your chosen tunes from the internet (or local drive connected to it) rather than from your phone itself – and if you walk into another room or take a call, as long as you stay within range of your Wi-Fi router, the music keeps playing.
Why explain this in the intro to a product review? Because Audio Pro gets it. The Swedish company’s been in the game for 40 years and the firm gets that we want more than one open gate leading to our music. Also, we now have plenty of kit we’d like to physically connect our shiny new speaker to, if possible (and thank you very much in advance). So, on top of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming, Audio Pro has added to the sizeable C20 a compelling array of ports on the back: an RCA in (for turntables with an RIAA amp), a phono MM in (for moving-magnet cartridge decks without a phono stage), an RCA sub out (if you wanted to connect a dedicated subwoofer to it), a Toslink Optical in (for CD players or budget soundbars, say) and the arguably the biggest draw of the lot – an HDMI ARC in, so it can go straight into your TV and challenge some of the best soundbars. So long as it’ll fit beneath it without obscuring the screen, that is.

What you need to know is this: this thing sounds fantastic, offering clarity, depth, excitement and finesse, even at higher volumes. The control app is easy to navigate and corrals all of your chosen music streaming services – but of course, you could go into each app on your phone and click the little Google cast or AirPlay icon to see the C20 ready to connect.
Audio Pro calls the C20 the complete solution for music and TV and it’s hard to argue. It’s also hard to imagine a home interior, color scheme or decor style that the Audio Pro C20 couldn’t be friends with – and the grille can remain on or easily be whipped off, if you prefer to see its three talented drivers.
The metal top plate adds an extra touch of class and the buttons click nicely, in a build that feels both reverent to traditional techniques and yet strikingly modern.
The fact that it comes from a long line of hits means it doesn’t come cheap though. I’ve written odes to Audio Pro’s beautiful speakers and I helped review the slightly smaller Audio Pro Addon C10 MkII for TechRadar’s sister site, What Hi-Fi?, so I can personally vouch the five-star rating there (and the multiple awards it subsequently gained), although I fear those likely didn’t do much to keep prices low.
In summary, it’s chic, it’s unique and it’s (virtually) the complete package. Why virtually? If you wanted a 3.5mm in for your headphones (or 4.4mm, 6.35mm, or XLR), you won’t find it – you’d have to go the the FiiO R9 for that. The C20 is for the enjoyment of shared music. And what an experience that is.
Audio Pro C20 review: Price and release date
Unveiled January 8, 2024, shipping from March 2024
$550 / £450 / €550 (around AU$820)
The Audio Pro C20 is available for pre-order now, and ships from March 2024. In the US, it costs $550 and in the UK, it’ll set you back £450, hardly a trifling sum, whatever whistles and bells it sports.
That said, the competition here isn’t much more affordable. Yes, the Q Acoustics M40 HD is (excellent and) a music system squirrelled into a set of speakers, but as far as wireless connectivity goes, it’s a Bluetooth only one. Then, there’s the fantastic FiiO R9, with all of the connectivity and hi-res wireless streaming smarts you could wish for, as long as you’ll provide your own speakers or headphones.
Sonus Faber and Naim also offer similar solutions – see the Naim Mu-so Qb, a 2019 release which doesn’t boast an HDMI ARC input, support, or the Sonus Faber Omnia, which does – but while the former is now available for similar money to the C20, the latter is a lot more expensive…

Audio Pro C20 review: Features
Built in RIAA amplifier
Google Cast, Apple AirPlay and Audio Pro’s own multi-room audio option
HDMI ARC
By adding a phono stage to its latest masterwork, Audio Pro C20 can be plugged straight into your devoid-of-phono turntable (as long as it sports a moving magnet cartridge), allowing you to simply power it on, select ‘phono’ on the Audio Pro’s top plate, lower that needle and get into the groove. Got one of the best turntables with an RIAA amp inbuilt? That’s OK too, there’s a separate RCA line in for you too.
Of course, this is Audio Pro, so the new C20 also features the winning multi-room option triumvirate that the company introduced with the 2021-release Addon C10 MkII: AirPlay 2, Google Cast, plus its own multi-room audio capability. You also get Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth (v5.0) and HDMI ARC – so you can hook it straight up to your TV.
Thanks to a combination of these these things, you can also re-stream music (including vinyl from your turntable) to other Audio Pro speakers you may have collected from its A, C, or D-series, in a wireless multi-room system around your home (and you don’t even have to start making holes in your walls).
The C20 also offers the option of connecting an external subwoofer via its sub-out (the company would direct you to its own Audio Pro SW-5 or SW10) enabling you to enhance the C20’s bass performance even further, should you wish – although I didn’t find this necessary.
Finally, two C20’s can be set-up as a stereo pair using the Audio Pro app, or even via Apple Airplay 2. I think you’ll agree, that’s a lot of options. If you want a 3.5mm headphone jack, you won’t find it… but do you really?
Features score: 5/5

Audio Pro C20 review: Sound quality
Clarity, neutrality and detail in spades
Ample bass clout without muddying the soundstage
Not an omnidirectional solution
Simply put, the Audio Pro C20 sounds very good indeed, whether physically hooked up to your TV or turntable, or when commanded to play music by your phone. You might anticipate having to make a compromise when buying a jack-of-all-trades box – a minor hit on sound in return for something that works with everything – but not so here.
Coheed and Cambria’s In Keeping Secrets of the Silent Earth: 3 accessed on Tidal Connectis a raucous proggy album and the C20 never shies away from any of it, serving indomitable energy across the frequencies in a cohesive but rigorously regimented mix.
Given delicate string progressions such as Joni Mitchell’s A Case of You, Mitchell’s textured vocal soars above her dynamically agile and three-dimensional Appalachian dulcimer (and James Taylor’s emotive acoustic guitar) where each musical passage is given enough space to have the necessary impact the track.
When handling TV content, the C20 is an easy (easy!) step up from anything my Sony TV’s speakers can do, opening out the sound and offering that extra ounce of detail through intakes of breath and clacks of high-heeled shoes on cobbles in Shetland.
It’s not a Dolby Atmos solution, of course, and the sound isn’t particularly omnidirectional (owing to the C20’s design), but there’s a wide soundstage here nonetheless.
However I listened to it across the course of my testing, the C20 continued to delight and entertain with its myriad connectivity perks, ease of use and gifted audio chops.
Sound quality score: 5/5
The remote certainly adds value – although volume adjustment is a slightly blunt affair (Image credit: Future)
Audio Pro C20: Design
2x 30W and 1x 130W digital class D amplifiers
Removable grille
Choice of three finishes
The Audio Pro C20 is available in Soft Satin White, Stylish Grey or Classic Black. The woven fabric front is fixed to the C20 by magnets and can be easily removed, giving the option of two very different looks, depending on your favored aesthetic.
I like to take off the grille off to better hear (and observe) Audio Pro’s iconic eyes-and-nose style driver configuration, as seen in the brand’s beloved T3+, C5 MkII and C10 MkII, for starters. Here, you get two 30W and one 130W Digital Class D amplifiers, powering the C20’s dual 1-inch tweeters and a 6.5-inch woofer.
At 41cm across,19.6cm high and 22cm deep (and weighing in at 6.2kg, which roughly the same as a gallon of paint), the C20 is a substantial thing and while it fits under my wall-mounted TV just fine, those thinking of using it as a soundbar will need to think about that height.
My ‘Stylish Grey’ sample is just that. The gold-tone top plate (with solo LEDs to denote which source you’re using as well as lights around the six preset buttons) also helps and while the gold accent on the grille is gone (as seen on the C10 MkII) I don’t miss it. Do I miss Audio Pro’s glorious rock ‘n’ roll leather handle? A little, but I also concede that this isn’t proposition is not meant to be especially portable.
It’s always been hard to find fault with Audio Pro’s build quality, and the C20 is no exception.
Design score: 4.5/5
You need a bit of clearance, but it works with my TV (Image credit: Future)
Audio Pro C20 review: Usability and setup
Simple, app-guided setup
App can handle your music –or not
No supplied remote
After powering the speaker on (in case it needs to be mentioned, the C20 needs to be plugged in to power at all times), you’re quickly guided to the Audio Pro companion app, which will add the C20 to your Wi-FI network and generally do the rest. During my time with it, it neither crashed nor tripped up even momentarily.
On the app, the ‘Browse’ tab (which seeks to keep your music all in one place) will open Apple Music natively through ‘open on Apple Music’ if using an iOS device, but third-party streaming services (such as Tidal) will require you to login again if going this route. You can also select the C20’s source here, whether that’s Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, phono, line in (I hooked it up to the FiiO R9 before setting it up and it did a fantastic job), optical or TV.
The central ‘Device’ tab in the app is meant to organise your speakers rather than your music, so here you can name your speaker, (either the model, or its placement in your home, such as ‘kitchen’) and with the C20 there’s a three-band EQ tab for bass, treble and subwoofer out.
The third and final ‘Settings’ tab basically lets you choose which services are displayed on ‘Browse’, as well as an FAQ section and details on the app version you’re running.
Audio Pro hasn’t supplied a dedicated remote control in the box (although if you’re using the HDMI ARC to your TV, you can just use your TV’s remote for volume) and honestly, I don’t miss it, because the app does the heavy lifting – or of course, you can use the premium top plate.
Usability and setup score: 5/5
Audio Pro’s companion app makes it really easy to group your music and your wireless speakers for multi-room audio (Image credit: Future)
Audio Pro C20: Value
Obviously, if you don’t have the expendable income to afford such a speaker, it doesn’t matter how good it is – you won’t be buying it.
That said, Sonus Faber will offer you something with a similar spec sheet that’s double the price, while Naim has an older option that offers less in terms of connectivity, but sounds excellent, for similar money (see below for a comparison of these products).
My advice? You will not be disappointed with the sound-per-pound value here.

Audio Pro C20 review: How I tested
Tested across seven days
Used as a TV soundbar, wireless speaker, wired to the FiiO R9, wired to a turntable and as a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker
Listened to a variety of music; watched three episodes of an action-packed TV show
When testing the Audio Pro C20, the only connection I didn’t use was the subwoofer out – because honestly, I really like Audio Pro’s tuning within its speakers and never felt the need to try to augment the low end.
The analogue inputs accommodated both pre-amplified and non-amplified turntables, the digital optical was used for a CD player, the line in for FiiO R9 (as a source device), my TV was hooked up to it… and, of course, Bluetooth and my home Wi-Fi network were handy for using it with my iPhone.
And then it’s the usual: listening to lots of familiar music from my reference playlist, (as well as three episodes of Shetland on TV, which I’m really into and highly recommend – yes, I know I’m late to that particular party) at a variety of volume levels, for the duration of my testing.
As a brief aside, I removed the grilles for the duration of my testing – it’s what I always do whenever possible. Why? The fewer physical obstructions between you and your music, the better…
