Just what is Dolby Atmos and how does it work?

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology used in audio and video applications. It is designed to provide a more immersive and life-like auditory experience, by adding height and depth to the sound field. It takes surround sound to the next level by allowing individual sounds to be placed and moved in a three-dimensional space. The more points of contact for the sound in your immediate surroundings, the more it creates a natural real-world listening experience, as if the sounds are not from the speaker, but natural. Dolby Atmos ensures precisely that. It mimics how our ears listen to sounds in a real-world environment.

Which devices is Dolby Atmos compatible with?

Unlike traditional surround sound systems limited by the number of speakers to create a stereo or multi-channel sound field, Dolby Atmos uses a large number of speakers to create a more realistic and dynamic sound. It is used in a variety of applications such as theaters, home theaters, headphones, and more recently, even smartphones and laptops.
