What Is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format invented in 2012 by Dolby Laboratories. It allows for the addition of “height” channels, immersing you in a three-dimensional sphere of sound. In recent years, it has become the defacto standard in home theaters, phones, soundbars, and now in your car. Streaming services such as Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon HD are the latest to adopt this format for music.
