What are Dolby Atmos & Apple Immersive Audio?
As technology advances, so does the way we experience music and sound. One of the most exciting developments in the market is Dolby Atmos Immersive Audio.
- Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that creates a 3D soundstage by adding height channels to traditional surround sound systems. This allows for sound to be placed and moved in a three-dimensional space, enhancing the listening experience.
- Immersive Audio is a similar technology from Apple that uses head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to simulate the way sound reaches our ears, allowing for sound to be placed in a three-dimensional space and giving the listener the sense that they are in the middle of the action. Immersive audio technology is available on headphones, speakers, and even on smartphones.
- Combined, Dolby Atmos and Immersive Audio have the power to dramatically transform the soundscape for music lovers. Music can finally be experienced in a way that is more true to life, giving listeners the feeling that they are in the same room as the performers.
