#Dolby 5.1 speakers windows
While Plantronics offers several Dolby Atmos-enabled gaming headsets, you can get Dolby Atmos effects in just about any headphones - if you use the Dolby Access app on the Xbox One X or a Windows 10-compatible device. Since this is a growing category, some products, like laptops and smartphones, have a few entries, while others, like AVRs, include over 100 products to choose from. For such a relatively unassuming piece of tech, the soundbar delivered an impressive 3D audio experience.ĭolby has partnered with dozens of manufacturers to integrate Atmos into a range of products, including televisions, smartphones, laptops and even video games. I recently experienced the power of some up-firing speakers via the Atmos-compatible Sennheiser 3D Ambeo speaker at CES 2018. It's not going to be as powerful as an actual height speaker, but it's better than nothing. This is achieved by bouncing the sound off of your ceiling to replicate exorbitantly expensive, ceiling-mounted height speakers. And because Atmos-compatible speakers have integrated upward-firing drivers, you have the added benefit of height. That means that if a sound occurs in the top right corner of the room, the audio will have spatial accuracy instead of being relegated to the right speaker. The lack of positional freedom takes away from the overall immersion factor.ĭolby Atmos ditches the channels and assigns the sound objects to a place. In this kind of setup, you can hear a helicopter moving from right to left or vice versa, but the system can't reproduce the sound of something flying above you. Audio over conventional surround sound is confined to 5.1 (five speakers, one subwoofer) or 7.1 (seven speakers, one subwoofer) channels. The biggest difference between Dolby Atmos and traditional surround sound is the use of channels. How is Atmos different than surround sound? The more speakers you have, the better the audio positioning as well as detail and overall audio richness and depth. That means that when an airplane flies overhead in your favorite movie, it will sound like there's an actual plane moving above you. The Atmos-optimized tech analyzes all the audio data, and based on the number speakers you have and their placement, it determines optimal playback in real time. Once all that fancy mixing is completed, Atmos can bring theater-quality audio to your living room - provided you have Dolby Atmos-compatible equipment, such as a pair of headphones, a soundbar or a home-theater system with an audio/video receiver.
