another disappointing justice league movie but at least 360 degrees surround sound has long been the mainstay of not just movie theaters but home theaters as well where a typical setup will be a subwoofer or two for bass and five or seven speakers surrounding the viewer to help the sound well surround the viewer now traditionally the way this is worked is that depending on the surround audio encoding scheme used by the publisher a device called the receiver would decode and playback discrete audio tracks for each speaker that would correspond to the action on the screen assuming a high quality mix so the idea is that if you're looking at the scene featuring a conversation the voices will probably be coming mostly out of the center channel while the satellite speakers behind you focus on let's say ambient background noise this one track for one speaker paradigm has been powering surround sound systems for a long time and it's worked pretty well but we've increasingly seen a different method of surround sound delivery both in theaters and on blu-ray that's actually based around encoding sounds as objects instead of channels the principle behind dolby atmos and dts x but hold on a minute sounds as objects okay so it means that instead of each audio track corresponding to only one speaker the tracks are encoded with data that indicate some location in space instead of

into account to produce sound that's more accurately reflective of where it's supposed to be in space whether it has five speakers propped up on two by fours around your computer to represent this data or 50 professional grade loudspeakers in a large cinema and it even includes support for sounds above you something traditional surround doesn't offer atmos supports up to 118 objects and dtsx supports an unlimited number of objects and both technologies can work with your conventional 5.1 and 7.1 speaker setups with atmos boasting support for up to 34 speakers for home theater now that
