Atmos is a surround sound technology that expands the 5.1 home cinema setup with surround channels coming from overhead. Having made its way from film sets and into living rooms, Dolby’s Atmos surround sound technology has become one of the most impressive technologies available with home cinema systems. Atmos is, in Dolby’s own words, “The most significant development in cinema audio since surround-sound.” The unique difference with Atmos is the sound that distributes above the main seating area . Drivers facing upwards built into existing speakers, or separate speakers adjacent to them, reflect sound from the ceiling to create unbelievable sound dispersion.
