7.1 Sound Setup
Traditional Surround Sound
Before the advent of Dolby Atmos the standard audio solution was surround sound. Traditional surround soundtracks confine all sounds to a stereo 2.0, 5.1, or 7.1 channel mix. Sound placement is limited to a maximum of 8 locations - defined by each speaker position - all located on the same horizontal plane as the listener. Stereo 2.0 consists of two channels of sound - left and right – produced by a pair of stereo speakers.
5.1 surround sound (‘five point one’) is the common name for 5 channels of surround sound - (1 – 5) front left and right / rear left and right / centre (commonly used for dialogue), and subwoofer (.1) that provides a deep bass sound.
7.1 surround sound adds two additional speakers to 5.1 by splitting the rear channels on each side of the viewer and is commonly used in home theatre configurations.
Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos elevates sound from the traditional restraints of predefined channels as a creative tool on par with the visuals. Sounds exist as individual entities that can be precisely placed and moved anywhere in your room’s three-dimensional space offering a far more immersive and lifelike audio environment. To ensure a wide consumer adoption of Dolby Atmos, Dolby has democratised pricing and space.
Dolby Atmos is an incredibly versatile format with multiple speaker configurations and with a speaker layout solution to match the environment from a full home theatre experience, to soundbars, to the speakers inside your television and headphones. Dolby Atmos in soundbars and televisions can be implemented by either reflecting sound down from the ceiling and off the walls or with a more immersive experience using ‘virtualised’ audio height information. No matter the shape and size of your living room, you can get a Dolby Atmos experience.
The sound reflects down from the ceiling to give you sound above your head
