Dolby Sport
Every year, the technology for watching movies improves, inching along on its way to total cinematic immersion. So much is made about advances in visual fidelity, however, that the role of sound is sometimes overlooked. Sound design is a crucial aspect of filmmaking, engulfing the audience in a way visuals simply cannot, and Dolby Atmos is one of the most revolutionary formats to hit commercial and home theaters in years.
Along with overhead sound, Dolby Atmos(and its rival DTS: X) offers enhancement over traditional surround sound setups by placing each “sound object” (such as a radio alarm or a buzzing bee) in a specific spot in the soundstage, as designated by the film’s sound engineers.This enables highly detailed sound mixes that help evoke the suspension of disbelief.Find out more about Dolby Atmos in the home below, or scroll to the next page to see our picks for the best home releases to watch with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack right now.
