Dolby Atmos reflects sound to your listening position via the ceiling. That way, you're surrounded by sound and it feels like you're in the middle of your movie, series, or game.
What can you use Dolby Atmos for?
Many soundbars and televisions support Dolby Atmos technology. With upward-facing speakers, soundbars or speakers send audio to the ceiling. There, it's reflected to your listening position. That way, you hear the sound from all sides. Is a plane flying overhead in a movie? You really hear it flying above you. As a result, you're in the middle of the action.
