Also before the technology of including sound in the film roll, music was used in all the so-called "silent movies". In every cinema, there was a live piano added the all-important soundtrack. Most people would find it’s impossible to imagine Chaplin's film genuine without accompanying music.

That is one of the reasons for STEENSSEN to develop hifi audio systems like ACTION for use with tv's. Ever since the first films ever, sound been an inseparable part of visual arts. Sound is a crucial ingredient is being able to appreciate the media you are streaming. Chaplin, Disney and all the pioneers were right.
