Dolby Atmos
Introduced first in the cinema, Dolby Atmos brings a

Home Theater experience. Dolby Atmos is an adaptable

accurately positioned and move dynamically throughout
the 3 dimensional listening space during playback. A key
ingredient of Dolby Atmos is the introduction of a height
plane of sound above the listener.
