3. Standard Speaker Configurations

Dolby Conventions for Speaker Configurations

With the debut of Dolby Atmos, there is a new method of referring to surround sound

speaker configurations (see the “Dolby Atmos for the Home Theater” white paper for

more details). It is based on the standard nomenclature (stereo, 5.1, and 7.1) but

adds a number at the end to specify the number of height speakers you employ in

the playback system (for example, 7.1.4).

While manufacturers may decide to support more than one subwoofer output, Dolby

Atmos technology generates a single low frequency effects (LFE) signal. Figures 5, 6,

and 7 show the most common speaker layouts in a Dolby Atmos system for home

theater.

Figure 5: A traditional 7.1 speaker layout with four Dolby Atmos enabled speakers (7.1.4).

Figure 6: A traditional 5.1 speaker layout with four overhead speakers (5.1.4).
