part of the reason why we're willing to pay out the freaking nose for movie
tickets is that Primo sound you get at the theater and indeed a huge part of
marketing these days for Cinema chains is pushing their audio technology that
promises some sort of transcendental experience for your ears but years ago
Dolby Laboratories you may recognize some little indication on games movies
or even someone's receiver under their TV started trying to bring a theater
likee experience to the home they like
other competing companies such as DTS provide compression Technologies for
audio streams so that they'll fit onto a disc much like how One might compress a
video file to make it suitable for the net I'm looking at you h.264 dolby's
technology was born many years back with Dolby stereo if you're a budding audio
Enthusiast in 1975 you might remember seeing Dolby stereo being tossed around
what was special about it was that it took took your conventional stereo sound
and created a 4channel surround experience in the theater through some
mathematical trickery with the sound encoding but it wasn't until 1982 that
the home was first introduced to Dolby technology with Dolby Surround another
analog technology that added a mono surround channel to the usual front left
and right this was improved with Dolby Pro logic which added a center channel
and used a more advanced algorithm to not only extract the extra Channel but
to also improve the movement and discreetness between them prologic still
exists today in a new and improved form with the ability to mix stereo or
surround to 9.1 channels as technology
progressed it became easier to record multi- channel sound natively and so
Dolby Digital debuted in 1992 featuring six discrete channels of
audio in the ubiquitous 5.1 setup five
speakers one subwoofer since then we've seen incremental updates to the
Technologies with improvements to the number of channels as well as maximum
bit rate and Sample rate in the case of Dolby true HD a lossless audio codec so
what does the future look like well in order to blow your mind the new Dolby
Atmos now supports up to 128 audio objects that are independent
of a channel assignment why is this better well imagine a helicopter flying
over you instead of a conventional system vaguely telling your ears where
the chopper is flying with Dolby Atmos sounds can be created independently and
mapped to a specific location so you'll be able to pick out exactly where it is
Atmos also scales the specific speaker structure of the theater and does this
in real time so in theory you should hear a spatially accurate effect no
matter where you sit put this all together and voila you can almost feel
like you're there and if you don't want to pay nine freak freaking dollars for a
bucket of popcorn Dolby has now expanded this technology into the home it does
require a compatible AV receiver which supports the extra channels needed to
make this possible the more speakers you have by the way the better but Atmos
will work with at least six so you won't
necessarily need to sell an entire kidney to make it happen audible.com is
