Dolby Atmos is an advanced audio technology that creates an immersive, three-dimensional audio experience. Unlike traditional surround sound systems that are limited to channels (e.g. 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound), Dolby Atmos adds height channels, allowing sounds to come from above and around you. This creates a more realistic, dynamic, and immersive audio environment, making it particularly popular for movies, games, and music.
