Figure 1: At left is a Dolby Atmos system with five speakers on the floor and four overhead speakers; at
right is a Dolby Atmos system with up to 24 speakers on the floor and 10 overhead speakers.
Additionally, a new Dolby
®
surround upmixer allows for channel-based content that has not been mixed
for Dolby Atmos to be expanded to fill the flexible speaker layouts of a Dolby Atmos system.
These installation guidelines are intended to be a resource for integrating Dolby Atmos into a home
theater system and unlocking the potential of this revolutionary audio format. Details include the use of
conventional overhead speakers and Dolby Atmos enabled speaker technology, which enables you to
architect a system capable of reproducing overhead sound, even if you’re not able to put speakers in or
on the ceiling.
