  • Dolby Atmos is a spatial audio technology that creates a three-dimensional sound experience by adding height channels to surround sound: 

    It allows artists and engineers to precisely place sounds in three-dimensional space, creating a more realistic audio experience. It uses an object-based audio format instead of traditional channel-based formats like mono and stereo

  • Why Atmos?

    The ATMOS feature creates an immersive, three-dimensional (spatial) audio experience using stereo headphones or basically any speaker setup. Whether you’re gaming, watching your favorite movie or show, or listening to that new track on repeat,

    Dolby Atmos enhances the entertainment you love across all of your devices.

    Whether it’s for clarity, its remarkable depth or just the fact that sounds clan be placed in space in ways that tell stories, ATMOS® has become the new standard for how high end audio is listened to in environments where people care about sound. Even people who are not audiophiles can hear the difference

  • Where does it come from?

    Atmos was originally designed for movie theaters. In a theater, everything you hear in a movie, from the music to the voices to the sound effects, all gets mixed into specific "channels."

    In traditional 7.1 surround system in a theater, a sound would come from the left "wall" not a specific speaker on that wall.

    Atmos allows for greater specificity and spatial placement of sound, giving you real space in your mixes.

  • How does it work

    Atmos, for the most part, doesn't use channels. Instead, most sounds are treated as "objects." Instead of assigning a sound to a channel (and by extension, a speaker), Atmos lets creators assign any sound to a specific place in the room.

    Not "left surround speaker" but "left rear corner." Not "pan from left surround speaker to right sound speaker" but "pan smoothly across the rear wall." Not only does this give greater flexibility, but it improves the experience in the theater, in your airpods, and everywhere.

  • What Can I Do With it

    Spatially, nearly anything. And that leads to a clearer, more listenable mix. But the big Atmos feature is height. With speakers hanging from the ceiling, sound engineers can now move sounds seamlessly over your head and all around.

    Done right, it's not only more convincing than before, but also less obtrusive. It's more natural, so you're less likely to notice the special effects and more likely to stay absorbed in the music.

  • So, Is it worth it?

    When Spatial Audio is done right, it can have a transformative effect on the way we perceive music - even albums we may have heard hundreds of times.

    Placing the different instruments within a virtual sphere - which are then accurately spatialized thanks to the clever head-tracking technology inside the AirPods Max, AirPods 3, and AirPods Pro headphones - gives every element of a track the room it needs to shine.

  • Is it everywhere Now?

    Right now, so many platforms support playing Atmos Enhanced Tracks. And the ones that don’t will play the music beautifully, just with fewer spatial artifacts.

    When you Mix and Master in Atmos, the music will play in the format most suited to your system. But very few studios, right now, support it in the execution and mix phase.

    To let mobile users experience both Atmos music and movies, many newer mobile devices have a version of the technology called Dolby Atmos for Headphones.

    Though those are stereo-only binaural audio, they're designed to simulate Atmos effects with any headphones. The tech is even available for Xbox and PC as well, via the Dolby Access app.

  • So, Where do I find it?
