Dolby … ?

Dolby Atmos Music is the latest surround sound technology from the American company Dolby Laboratories, which in the distant past was known primarily for its noise reduction systems for tape recorders and cassette recorders.

How does Dolby Atmos work?

Classic Dolby Surround “takes care” mainly of the sound from the front, the back and the side.

Dolby Atmos expands the classic surround sound in two central points: The sound is no longer channel-based but object-based and also comes from above.
