Dolby Atmos audio technology, introduced by Dolby in 2012 and continually improved since then, offers an exceptional surround sound experience with top-notch audio quality. It takes your audio immersion to a whole new level, surrounding you with sound from all directions.
Unlike traditional stereo audio, where sounds come from the left and right, Dolby Atmos employs spatial sound. This means that music’s higher and lower tones are precisely positioned in the environment, creating the sensation that the sound is coming from all around you, making the listening experience incredibly immersive.
