Integrated Electronic Solutions Product Spotlight: Dolby Atmos®

As your resource for custom home theater and whole home audio services, Integrated Electronic Solutions takes pride in presenting the highest quality products from world-class manufacturers. This month we’re both proud and excited to present Dolby Atmos as the newest product we can offer both clients and project partners. Whether at home or on the go, Dolby Atmos transports you from an ordinary moment into an extraordinary experience with breathtaking, multidimensional sound that flows all around you. 

Dolby, of course, is a globally recognized innovator of sound, image, and voice technologies for cinemas, home theaters, PCs, mobile devices, and games. With a Dolby Atmos system, sound comes from all directions, including overhead, to create an immersive experience with astonishing clarity, richness, detail and depth.

Dolby Atmos gives artists amazing new capabilities to tell their stories, accent their games, or perform their music – so you can experience the power of the artist’s vision. The specific sounds of people, music and things move around you in multidimensional space, so you feel like you are inside the action.

Up to now, cinema sound designers have had to mix independent sounds together into channels for soundtrack creation. If a scene required a helicopter to take off, that sound had to be assigned to an individual channel and mixed together with other sounds. While that helicopter could move across channels, it couldn’t go above you…until now.

Dolby Atmos is the first audio format based on audio objects rather than channels. In Dolby Atmos, any sound – the helicopter, a blaring car horn, a yelling child – can exist as an independent audio object, free of channel restrictions. It can be placed and moved anywhere, including anywhere overhead.

In the Home
Advanced Dolby® codecs and our sophisticated rendering process scale and adapt the original cinema experience to your home theater, from seven speakers to as many as 34, recreating the intent of the filmmaker.

On the Go
The Dolby Atmos renderer on the device takes the spatial information from the audio objects created for the cinema and renders them in multidimensional space over headphones. Combining the object-based audio with binaural headphone rendering, which relies on outer ear and shoulder cues, Dolby Atmos reconstructs a natural, immersive sound experience.

Compatibility
Dolby Atmos content is fully compatible for playback on conventional stereo and on 5.1- and 7.1-channel systems.

Dolby Atmos sound excites your senses and inspires your emotions to create a more profoundly moving entertainment experience.
