What is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Labs. It provides you with a sense of immersion as if the voice of a person and the sound of an object are wrapping around your whole body in a 3D space and actually enter the action space.
Dolby Atmos is also a natural and realistic sound technology that immerses the audience so that you can hear all of the images in sound. By applying stereoscopic sound technology to realise omnidirectional stereoscopic sound, you can enjoy more spectacular sound not only in a movie theater but also with your TV and soundbar.
