Apogee Users: Jon Olive
The Magical Sound of Harry Potter
Achieved with three AD-8000 Special Edition
Units
At the heart of the sound for magical blockbuster Harry Potter and
the Philosopher's Stone ("Sorcerer's Stone" in the US for
some unknown reason) were three Apogee AD-80000 Special Edition units.
They were chosen by technical consultant and music editor Jon Olive
(evidently no Muggle) for the final dub of the movie.
The mix was completed at Shepperton Film Studios, where the Apogee
units were used for the play-out of John Williams' extensive music score
that is audible during the much of the running time of the movie, with
its series of "leitmotif"-like themes that accompany characters
and places in the film.
| "We chose Apogee, because of the superior
sound quality. In addition, we needed the ability to lock directly to video black burst."

"We chose Apogee," said Olive, "because of the superior
sound quality. In addition," he continued, "we needed the
ability to lock directly to video black burst." One of the AD-8000SEs
was fitted with the optional video synchronization card.
The Apogee systems were supplied by Apogee dealer GearBox
in London, who also supplied the Apogee gear for HBO mini-series Band
of Brothers
