What is Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?

Bring the cinema experience home with a soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound.

Since most of our soundbars come with Dolby Atmos, it’s essential to understand the concept of surround sound. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X fundamentally transform your home entertainment experience using multiple speakers to project various audio tracks from above
and around.

Can soundbars autonomously generate a surround sound effect?

Simply put, yes. As previously mentioned, true surround sound does indeed require multiple speakers. However, soundbars leverage their internal technology to generate an equivalent surround sound effect, enveloping you in a cocoon of sound. They enhance depth, realism, and excitement in your favorite content, intensifying emotions and amplifying thrills. From subtle whispers to thunderous explosions, soundbars faithfully reproduce the intended dynamics and directional cues, providing an immersive and lifelike audio experience.

Now, let’s come back to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Many people want to create immersive surround sound experiences in their living room, and that’s precisely what Dolby Atmos and DTS:X deliver. Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional sound field all around you, including overhead. Similarly, DTS:X generates multi-dimensional audio that traverses a 3D space, forming a captivating and realistic soundscape. Both technologies enhance the depth, clarity, and precision of your audio, placing you squarely in the heart of the action.

There is an illustration of a livingroom soundbar setup including a main soundbar unit below a TV, a subwoofer next to a console, and two rear speakers behind a couch on a stand. Sound waves are coming from the speakers, creating a virtual surround sound effect, as indicated by a dome shape enveloping the livingroom.
