Additional Speaker Placement Guidelines

In addition to the typical configurations in the previous section, Dolby Atmos can

support a variety of additional speaker positions, up to a maximum of 34 total (for

example, 24.1.10).

This section focuses on the placement of speakers, which may be added to the

positions covered in section 3. For clarity, the positions covered in section 3 were:

 Left/Right speaker pair

 Left Surround/Right Surround speaker pair

 Left Rear Surround/Right Rear Surround speaker pair

 Left Wide/Right Wide speaker pair

 Left Front Overhead/Right Front Overhead speaker pair

 Left Middle Overhead/Right Middle Overhead speaker pair

 Left Rear Overhead/Right Rear Overhead speaker pair

For information on how to position these standard speaker positions, please refer

Listener-Level Speaker Placement Guidelines

This section provides placement guidelines for the following nontraditional listener

speakers:

 Left Center/Right Center speaker pair

 Left Screen/Right Screen speaker pair

 Left Surround 1/Right Surround 1 speaker pair

 Left Surround 2/Right Surround 2 speaker pair

 Left Rear Surround 1/Right Rear Surround 1 speaker pair

 Left Rear Surround 2/Right Rear Surround 2 speaker pair

In the following descriptions and examples, the term center-front reference denotes

an imaginary line between the listener position and the middle of the screen or the

placement of the Center speaker.

Note that, in all of these examples, speakers are added in pairs. This is crucial to

ensure an optimal Dolby Atmos playback environment.
