About Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos is synonymous with state-of-the-art sound quality – the kind you experience in commercial cinemas. Creating a three-dimensional soundscape, it positions each audio object in a specific location, delivering a more realistic and immersive audio experience. But is Dolby Atmos worth it, and do you have to spend a fortune to enjoy it?
Accessible sound
Contrary to popular belief, Dolby Atmos can be enjoyed whatever your lifestyle and budget. Whether you have a home cinema, a multi-functional media room or a simple living space where you want to enjoy quality audio, you can access the technology. In many cases, it’s included in streaming services you may already have, such as Netflix (top-tier subscriptions only), Disney+ and Apple TV+. All you need is a Dolby Atmos enabled soundbar or a speaker system with an AV receiver.
Putting you inside the world
Any cinephile or keen gamer knows that your experience of a film, TV series or game is better when you’re fully immersed in the world in which it’s set. Dolby Atmos does just that. Imagine your home cinema speakers delivering crisp, clear surround sound in a way that enables you to identify the exact location of every voice, vehicle and background noise. The sound of a helicopter flying overhead will move above you – just as the filmmaker intended – action will feel more intense, and the score will enhance each scene even more spectacularly.
The technology can even be enjoyed by gamers using headsets, as it uses object metadata to position audio within a 360-degree space, meaning you’re right at the heart of the game – even though you only have two speakers.
So, is it worth it? At New Wave AV we think it absolutely is. If you’re ready to have your audio experience transformed, we highly recommend investing – for home cinemas as well as for everyday living spaces. Our specialists have installed speakers enabled with the technology in countless home cinemas and media rooms, delivering premium sound that elevates homeowners’ entertainment experiences.
