This is a short video on the best Atmos speaker setup, using height channels in the front and back of the room right above your front and rear speakers:
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
Most members here have "stereos" for music and "home theater" for movies. Atmos music takes the immersive format that started with movies and uses it for music. It seems Dolby has a series of interviews/tutorials with recording engineers and that is picking up momentum. Personally I listen to immersive music (atmos and surround sound) about 80% of the time and the other 20% I listen to two channel on my desktop system. What is your experience with either Atmos music/spatial audio or using any of the various upmixers (auro-3d, dolby surround, etc) for immersive music listening?

@kota1 Haha thanks, I don't generally watch YT with funny faces and amped-up headlines on the splash screen (which is to say I barely watch YT at all :-) but I understand Atmos basics. Apple Music doesn't play spatial (Atmos) to a stereo setup by default, but it can be set to do so. I've tried this on some recent releases done with Atmos and hi-res but I can't say any difference in stereo image or tonality jumps out at me. Changing the player preferences is a couple of steps so no instant switching. And I haven't really kicked back and relaxed into it to appreciate the subtleties on the level of old vs new DAC for example. |
