Thanks for sharing that. I've not seen it before.
But I wonder if the problem is solved at all. For their specifications are they talking average or peak? For instance when watching TV, the program may peak at 85(unit-of-measure) while the commercial averages 85 (unit-of-measure), resulting in a louder sounding commercial. It's a start and a standard...

Barry, the 85 (unit of measure) refers to reference level. Specifically Steady-State Pink where -20 dBFS PINK = 85 SPL (C weighted, Slow). I outlined the loudness measures in a previous post.
The problem is ongoing. Dolby and others are working on it.
One problem in a Theater setting is not every room is calibrated right, or, the Theater manager thinks that movies are too loud, so they turn the monitor level down....so now the mixers mix louder, and so......
