Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that creates a three-dimensional sound experience. It has the ability to move audio around the room, just like it would in real life.
The Dolby Atmos system uses a combination of speakers and audio objects to create an environment with rich, multidimensional sound. The Dolby Atmos system can deliver up to 128 audio tracks for multichannel content.
Dolby Atmos is available in a number of consumer electronics products from TV sets, home theater receivers, and Blu-ray Disc players to headphones and mobile devices.
