VI. EXTENSION INSTALLATION HOME - 7.1.2
1. Position of the Atmos speakers FHL/FHR (PF6ATM)
The Prestige Facet Atmos speakers are placed on top of the floor or bookshelf speakers.
DOLBY ATMOS® is a new technology meant to reproduce surround sound for cinema and
home cinema. This DOLBY ATMOS
®
process creates vertical sound channels in addition to the
Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 format (horizontal plane) and thus offers a totally immersive audio experience.
In order to have access to this technology and experience the emotion of DOLBY ATMOS
®
,
you have to equip yourself, in addition to your 5.1 or 7.1 system, with dedicated loudspeakers
in order to emit sound vertically. There are speakers that are positioned directly in the
ceiling, but these require a considerable amount of time and effort to install. There are also
specific speakers that direct the sound to the ceiling from the floor. It is this second solution,
certified DOLBY ATMOS
®
, that Elipson has adopted, simplifying the installation process. These
loudspeakers, whose drivers are specifically filtered and tilted, emit a sound field towards the
ceiling which must imperatively be reflective. The sound waves are thus reflected off of the
ceiling to allow the listener to benefit from this vertical sound dimension. The rendering is ultra
realistic, for a completely immersive experience in the heart of your movie. You can buy one
or two pairs of ATM speakers, placed at the front (1st pair) and also at the back (2nd pair) of
your dedicated home cinema room, directly on your main speakers or surround speakers. You
can also opt for the IXATM floorstanding loudspeaker with a built-in DOLBY ATMOS
®
module.
In order to fully enjoy the DOLBY ATMOS
®
sound, your amplifier must be compatible with this
technology, and have enough channels and the associated digital processing technology.
Caution : A Dolby Atmos compliant amplifier is essential to the proper use of the speakers.
