A4
Dolby Atmos Speakers
Dolby
Atmos
Dolby
Atmos is
the
newest
technology
that brings a third characteristic into
the
home
theater audio
environment
- height. This revolutionary
technology
is
now
being
encoded
into many
of
the
latest
movies
and videos
to
fully deliver
an immersive audio experience
like
no
other.
Unlike
the
traditional
home
theater
experience
where
content
is
mixed into
channels,
Dolby
Atmos is mixed as
audio objects. This means
the
technology
adapts
to
the
configuration
of
your
speakers giving you
the
ability
to
have a variety
of
different
speaker
configurations
of
five speakers on
the
floor
and
two
speakers producing
overhead sound
to
as
many
as
24
speakers on
the
floor
and
10
speakers producing overhead sound.
With
the
ELAC
A4
speakers, you
will
not
need
to
install
speakers into
the
ceiling.
However,
your
room will
need
to
be
of
basic shape, size, and with
ceilings
of
certain height.
Together
with a
Dolby
Atmos
enabled
receiver, ELAC
Debut
speakers and
the
A4
add-on
Dolby
Atmos
speakers,
you'll
be in
the
middle
of
an
amazingly
effective
3-dimensional
audio experience. The
A4
speakers
will
provide
the
height
sound
without
having
to
install ceiling speakers
to
get
the
Dolby
Atmos effects.
Room Requirements
Placement
For
optimal
effect and to minimize direct radiating audio at
listener level, place Dol
by
Atmos enabled
speakers
at
or
slightly
above
the
height
of
your
ears when seated.
Avoid
placing
the
Dolby
Atmos
enabled
speakers higher than one-
half
the
height
of
your
wall.
Room
Height
For
optimal performance,
the
ceiling should
be
flat
(not
angled
or
vaulted), with a
height
of
14
feet
(4.27 meters) or less,
and
made
of
an
acoustically
reflective material (drywall, plaste
r,
hardwood,
or
another
rigid,
non-sound
-absorbing material). The
ideal ceiling
height
is
be
tween
7.5 and
12
feet
(2.3 and 3.66 meters). Sound-
absorbing and sound-diffusing treatment
for
handling
unwant
ed
reflections
from
the
walls
and
floor
is recommended
to
improve
sound
quality
and system performance.
