What is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos® is a
revolutionary new
audio technology
that transports you
into extraordinary
entertainment experiences.
• Fills your room with captivating sound
- Sound comes from all directions,
including overhead, to fill the room
with astonishing clarity, richness,
detail, and depth.
• Puts sounds into motion all around you
- The specific sounds of people, music,
and things move all around you in
multidimensional space, so you feel
like you are inside the action.
• Delivers the full impact of the artist’s work
- Artists have amazing new capabilities
to tell their stories, accent their games,
or perform their music to achieve the
greatest expressive impact.
How does Dolby Atmos audio work?
Dolby Atmos is the first home theater system
that is based not on channels but on audio
objects. What is an audio object? Any sound
heard in a movie scene—a child yelling, a
helicopter taking off, a car horn blaring—is
an audio object. Filmmakers using Dolby
Atmos can decide exactly where those
sounds should originate and precisely where
they move as the scene develops.
Thinking about sound in this way
eliminates many of the limitations of
channel-based audio. In a channel-based
system, filmmakers have to think about the
speaker setup: Should this sound come
from the left rear surrounds or the left side
surrounds? With Dolby Atmos, filmmakers
just have to think about the story: Where
is that yelling child going to run? How
will the helicopter move overhead after
takeoff? The Dolby Atmos system, whether
in the cinema or the home theater, has the
intelligence to determine what speakers
to use to precisely recreate the child’s
movement in the way the filmmakers
intend. They can now precisely place and
move sounds as independent objects
in multidimensional space, including
anywhere overhead, so you can hear them
as you would naturally. reality to your
listening experience. Dolby Atmos helps
weave the audio story to match what’s
happening on the screen.

DTS:X READY
What is DTS:X?
DTS:X is the
next generation
audio codec from DTS that leverages
object-based audio to enable new
audio experiences in immersion and
interactivity.
DTS:X places sound where it would
occur naturally in space, creating the
most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio
experience ever. Free from channel
restrictions, sound can be placed and
moved to where you would hear it in
the real world. Because DTS:X doesn’t
require any specific speaker layout, you
can arrange your home theater system
however you want it. With DTS:X you’re
in control of your listening experience.
That hard-to-hear line in a movie can
be lifted out of the background
sounds for a more personal
entertainment experience.
Works With All DTS Content
DTS will playback all DTS
formats including DTS
Digital Surround and
DTS-HD Master Audio.
DTS:X bitstreams are
backward-compatible with older DTS
AVRs and sound great.
Object-Based Audio
An audio object is the combination of the
waveform where captures the audio, and
metadata which represents the spatial
location in which the object should be
heard. Audio objects free content from
specific speaker layouts for optimal
listening.
This means the same DTS:X content
will sound great whether it’s rendered
on stereo or a fully immersive surround
sound system.
Immersive
DTS:X places sound
where it would occur
naturally in space,
creating the most lifelike,
multi-dimensional audio
experience ever. Be prepared — this
improved immersion and heightened
realism makes horror movies scarier,
comedies more laugh-out-loud, and car
chase scenes even more
Interactive
You are in control
of your listening
experience. That hard-
to-hear line in a movie
can be improved at a
touch — lift the dialogue out from the
background sounds when you want
clarity and experience a more personal
entertainment experience.
