What Is Dolby Atmos and DTS-X? - A General Overview and Review

- The video contains a general overview of Dolby Atmos/DTS-X, including history, requirements, configurations, limitations, and my thoughts on these formats. Dolby Atmos is a immersive surround sound format used in some movies. Unlike other formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS-X support ceiling speakers which are positioned above the listening position. These discrete speakers provide a unique 3D experience that adds a unique feel to most movies. Dolby Atmos can be configured in two different ways. It can either be setup using in-ceiling speakers or Dolby Atmos-Enabled speakers can be used. A Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker is a speaker that's angled towards the ceiling and reflects sound off the ceiling in order to create an overhead effect. This works well in some rooms but doesn't provide the same experience as actual in-ceiling speakers.

Bro Thank You for sharing your perspective on Dolby Atmos
I am looking for an Atmos speakers.
I believe Klipsch is one of the best but there some sellers that recommended me
Q Acoustic speakers from UK 🇬🇧
Can u share your thoughts
Thank You bro
Majestechs
Subscribe to your channel great content by the way
So how does it really do listening to metal or rap?, honest question..like your channel btw..just subbed too
I would love to hear what they sound like
Watched three videos, learned more than I have in the last year. Your calling is definitely making these videos. Speech, content, editing -superb. Earned my sub.
Subbed halfway through because you're giving me more USEFUL information than my last 6 Google searches combined. Thank you.
I am recently looking into Dolby Atmos for my living room. I found one of your videos and it had lead me to others. Thanks for such high level explanations!! Your videos are extremely helpful! Just wanted to give you props! I hope to keep finding gold on your channel! Ty!!!
Great overview and very informative, plus your production values are top notch!
Great job. Clear. Concise. No fluff.
I can appreciate that much more than folks trying to "plug themselves or they're services or brands".
I am in the process of setting up my brand new Home Theater up with: Yamaha RX3070, Klipsch, Micca, silver Ticket 135" screen and more! Super Hyped!!! Going to the local Megaplex will be a thing of the past...
You are a pro on sound, I am slowly becoming one because of your content. Great work.
That is one SWEET home theater. I would be happy with 1/4 of the incredible equipment you have in your home theater. This is truly my DREAM home theater set up. Maybe someday........... To dream.....to dream..................
Finally! Someone that gives a straight answer to a needed question. I am planning on building in my 26x12 basement into a home theater, you have given me awesome information. I currently have 5 Klipsch shelf speakers to start with and 2 Infinity sides, but will need to get another receiver based on your great recommendation. I will check out the Denon (as I have been looking into them) as well as the Onkyo and possibly either Yamaha or Marantz (although pricey), still you have given me a great start. Have been puzzled on Atmos based speakers, but you have answered my question... Thank you!
Can you do a video on Synology. Im thinking of getting one but would like to know if I lose the dolby atmos sound quality when watching movies from the device.
The pacing was good, informational, and we'll spoken. Dope channel man 👍🏼
If your Blu ray player bitstreams dolby atmos can you play any movie thru that and hear the dolby atmos surround sound? Or does it only work with DVDs that has the dolby atmos audio?
Great video, produced quite nicely by the way. Excellent diagram graphics too.
You should have mentioned upscaling. Upscaling takes a 5.1 or 7.1 and adds the ceiling speakers into the mix. Neural:X sounds amazing and in my opinion just as good or better than Atmos or DTS:X. Any receiver with Atmos will have upmixing capability. And my system only has 2 ceiling speakers and still sounds great! And if you cannot, or are afraid to cut holes in your ceiling you can use small satellite speakers and mount them to the ceiling for Atmos, I repurposed some Polk RM7's and they sound great.
Way to go!!!!
Well spoken! Very informative!
Very professional!
I love your channel! Keep it up brother.
Hi, I'm in a similar scenario. I also have Klipsch with RF7 up front 4 RP250 (side & rear) RC64 center and a 18" Velodyne sub. I have a drop ceiling which is 8 feet and have been contemplating my 4 Atmos speakers. Joists have Roxul in between to mute the sound to my first floor. My concerns are how much audio is lost above since there is no speaker enclosure or backing on the speaker and any issues with timbre matching?
Thank you.
I have a 5.1 confit all ceiling except for sub. I just bought a new pioneer elite vsx302, am I good to go with atmos or do I need another set of speakers?
Hi Chris, may I know what is the media app from Xbox one S that can play Dolby Atmos? The Movie and TV app from Microsoft Xbox One is not playing my Dolby Atmos movie file from my Hard disk. Thanks
Sir, I have a query. We can play 4K content via usb through usb port supported av receivers right? Right now I am collecting dolby atmos and ultra HD movies, but they are all in file format. Not as bluray disc.
Detailed information. Nice video, I enjoyed this.
I've been looking at onkyo hts 9700thx. It doesn't support dtx though. Is it a good choice for a small room. Or I will be happy with Polk mini soundbar?
Nice video thanks alot it really helps. I had one question when you said full-range speakers are you running all your speakers at Large with a subwoofer?
Outstanding presentation. In-ceiling speakers are the way to go. I have drop in ceiling tiles and sound does not reflect off them at all if any.
helo, im use pioneer vsx932, and it support atmos, i use my htpc fot my player, usualy i use KODI for player, and its only can do dolby truehd. my question , can i get dolby atmos if i use htpc? im try to setup mu pc to atmos home theater setting, and if try movie clip sample from dolby acces app(win10) its show atmos enable, but why my reveicer only detect Dolby+?
for now, im only use 5.2 setting, are there something wrong with my setup? wich i read, atmos its sofware decode(correct me if im wrong)
my avr its capable up to 7.2, but because my room its small(only 3x3m) soo i decide only use 5.2
This guy really knows his media entertainment. A true pro.
Just want to get a receiver that can support 7.2.4 and maybe just 2 hdmi ports dont care about nothing else i can always get speakers with internal amplifier. ¿Which receiver is a good option just for the home theater?
Nice set up, I used to have a Klipsch setup but I move to B&Ws.
Have you ever try the svs elevation speakers?
David Lean's classic "The Bridge on the River Kwai" from 1957 has a Dolby Atmos remixed track on the UHD Blu-ray release. It's surprisingly effective for the age of the material Sony had to work with.
What audio set up is best; I'm watching a blue ray and it has the option to watch the movie in DOLBY ATMOS or DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO? The audio is coming out a ps4 into a 5.1ss sound bar? (Displayed on a 4k tv)
Thanks, this was great. Especially the wrap-up at the end. I'm trying to understand DTS X as it relates toe DTS X Headphone and DTS X Ultra.
Very informative. Thank you
Great info that was delivered well. Thanks!
Thinking about mixing some martinlogan 40i tower speakers and some sonance 6.5 ceiling speakers. Was nervous about the mixing of speakers and the overall sound. Thoughts? How happy are you with mixing speakers?
Great video, I also watched your setup video....very nice. I'm looking at a Klipsch setup myself at the moment. Here's what I'm looking at: Pair of RP-280F, Pair of RP-240S, RP-440C Center, and R-110SW. I'd like to add dolby later but I'm not sure if I'd want the Dolby enabled speakers by klipsch to hang at the front wall or in ceiling yet. My question for you though, considering the 280F series, do you think they will go well with the rest of the setup as in the 440C and 240S or will I need the 450C and 250S series on center and surround...or go down to RP-260F series? Now, my living area that i'm setting this up in isn't quite a theater room like yours and I do not have a back wall for rear speakers just the side walls for the surrounds. Also, considering budget, I'm looking at the Yamaha TSR-7810 7.2 receiver from costco, will that work well with this setup? Thanks
I just got a marantz sr5012 and 2 martin logan ESL so I guess my center channel should be a motion 6 or 8i
What about rear speaker does all the speaker has to be same brand ?
Any recomendation ?
i have 2 aiwa sx-wzr88 sub-woofer, unfortunately the original av receiver broke down. So decide to buy new one which is denon x1500h. I want to ask, are these sub-woofers and AV receiver compatible? I want to know it before i buy the av receiver. Thanks
they still can't beat that DTS intro back in the day they used to play at the beginning of movies!!
Nassau, Bahamas what would be your recommendation for a room 35 x 20 its open but has a pool table on one half
hi i have a optoma uhd60 and soundbar hwk950 samsung and UhD4k sony UBPx700 and i don't have a atmos have you got a solution?? behind my projector i have 1HDMI HDCP and 1HDMI and behind soundbar i have 1HDMI out ARC and 2HDMI IN how to do to atmos works??
Good video! This is similar to my setup (5.2.4), consisting of a Pioneer Elite SP-EC73, four Pioneer Elite SP-EFS73, & two MartinLogan Dynamo 1000W Subwoofers all connected to a Denon AVR-x4200w.
Hi Sr God bless you and can I ask you something wath is much better optic or hdmi for sound thanks you for the orientation
So, given that most movies aren't shot in Atmos or DTS-X, should I set my home theater settings to "Dolby Surround"? I have the option of that, or DTS-X, or "last used"
Thank you sir. This was a very thorough and well done explanation that has helped me understand what is truly required to make an informed buying decision as I attempt to set up a decent home audio system! Have a wonder day!
Hi, Although it has been quite some time since you uploaded this video...just out of curiosity...how much do you think a full Dolby Atmos setup would cost today with Dolby-enabled speakers? (this would include the player, sound boxes/bars, and a 4k projector.)
I have a mental picture of how my dream theater looks amd yours comes really close!...your system looks awesome and I'm not going to lie, I'm a little jealous!!...lol!!....I subscribed and have been enjoying your videos! Your very knowledgeable and the info I have obtained from you has helped me alot! Thank you!
Hello Majestechs, I'm looking forward to doing the 4 in-ceiling speakers as well. I wanted to ask you if you had to place the speakers in a housing or not? Also, if my surround speakers are like 5 inch woofers, is it best to try to keep them all close to the same size like getting the 6 inch instead of the 8 inch speakers? Thanks in advance if you get a chance to reply. Such a great video btw!
Small question about the Besta TV Unit: Did you make custom shelves so you split the spaces into 2?
Hello sir,thanks for video. I am planning to setup my home theatre system . Now i am confuse in where to start for setup. First step is i need to choose av receiver with dolby atmos and can support to 9.2 and 2 rooms atleast. Also is it mandatory to buy dolby atmos home theatre system or normal 7.1 can work fine with dolby atmos av receiver? Also is it ok to just add two normal ceiling speaker? So it will become like 7.1.2 ..Can you please give best model/product name for this whole setup.. also i am planning to ho with wireless speaker system if possiable.Thanks
Thank you. I appreciate your comments and insight.
Great info. I have some questions for you that i hope you can answer. I'm new to this Atmos and Dts-s thing, and i am interested in having my home setup done to accommodate. If the movie you're watching doesn't have these options will your ceiling or ceiling bouncers still play, and if so, does it still sound good? Also, if the ceiling speakers still play, would or could i still get the same kind of effect if using a 7.1? The reason i am asking is because of my room setup. Unfortunately my listening area is against a wall. i am currently using a 7.1 system and running it at 5.1, because it sounds so much better. Can i use two nice bookshelf speakers and aim them at the ceiling, or hang them from the ceiling angled at me. Thank you
Definitely one of my favorite dudes on CZcams, now.
what do you think of the svs prime elevation speakers for dolby atmos?
Great video! I'd like to see more of your set-up
I want to get a home theater audio set up I like Klipsch and Polk but I am having trouble deciding what I should buy first. Do I need a center channel to start with or can I skip it? I hear it is very important. I would like to get a receiver, Klipsch r-115sw subwoofer, 2 Klipsch RP-280F, and a Klipsch RP-450C Center Channel. but my budget as of right now is around $1200ish recommendations would be greatly appreciated I want to piece together a great system over time and don't want to get anything crappy. I have a big bonus room to work with so space is not a real concern.
excellent presentation + explanation
Do i have to buy same brand For Left and right and center channel . ?
Oooh... I really like your taste for your background music. Haven't heard that song in a long time! :)
Would you recommend Onkyo TX-NR686 A/V receiver?
Really great video thanks
Can you suggest few celling speakers and how to setup these on receiver
Thanks for another great video.
thanks bro because i wasn't sure if i wanted to cut holes in my ceiling,but now i will lol thanks!
Great video, perfect when your new to the whole surround format thing like atmos. And even if you know sufficient about it, its aleays good to hear an user experience. So keep it man, ;)
The only thing missing from your list of Home Theater Equipment:
is the Prices with a total at the bottom. Other than that really informative I even booked marked it for future reference. I don't think that many Best Buy audio/TV sales persons really understand 4k, HDMI, & HDCP compatibility problems and the pit falls of non certified/interrogated systems. You have certainly have enlightened me. Thanks.
Real good info keep up the good work.
Great video & Atmos overview, thanks!
Wow, very nice and informative
I'm currently looking...
Klipsch 11.2...
Or would that actually be 7.2.4
what do you think of pioneer elite receiver lx sc 701-901?
Dope set up. What if you use only ceiling speakers for the left right and rears and not any floor speakers would you still get the same effect?
Is it worth getting the $15 Dolby Atmos software on PC for my headphones? I play games where pinpointing sound locations is rather important and currently use DTS 7.1
Recent Subscriber, love the channel. Just purchased the Polk's/amp and get them in two days. Do you have a video on how to properly wire them into the back of the receiver and maybe a "Baller on a Budget" way/ideas to wire them without having a rats nest behind the entertainment center? I have a split level home and a drop ceiling in my basement/man-cave.
Thanks for the assist, I like your professionalism and quick thoroughness of videos.
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
Im still "new" to Dolby Digital after rigging up some cheap quality, free surround sound speakers to my old yamaha a/v reciever that was given to me with a Polk Audio sub. What speakers should i buy later for an upgrade?
GREAT VIDEO I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL. GREAT JOB !!! THANKS
Can you say something to the new upmixers of Dolby and DTS?
Love the setup. Why didnt you use klipsch speakers for the atmos speakers?
Is there any way I can do it for XLR
Dude. Damn. What a nice setup
Very informative. Keep to the good work mate!
Thanks for the video! I'm looking to finally upgrade my Klipsch RF3-II system which includes RF3II mains, RC3II Center, RB61 for rears, and a Sunfire True sub signature. I actually have everything in your 7.2 system, not sure If i'm about Atmos yet, so most likely use the RP-280F for mains, also keep my Onkyo TX929 for the time being. Just wanted to get your impressions on the system, I've always enjoyed the sound of my speakers and the Klipsch brand, I'm torn between this system and spending a bit more and going the Martin Logan route, the motion series, most likely the motion 40, and a couple dynamo 1000 subs, motion 35xt (rears). I'm going to demo the ML at a local store soon, unfortunately no one locally sells or demos the higher end Klipsch models, so I'm left getting word of mouth reviews. Cheers!
Hey man, can you tell me your thoughts about Onkyo HT-S7800 what another alternative you would think off? really appreciate it, Thanks
I have a Dolby Atmos anabled soundbar unfortunately it doesn't have a ceiling firing speakers 😕
What’s your opinion on using towers as back surround?
Did you used 4 in ceiling Speakers for atmos? My doubt is, why use atmos enabled front Speakers (RF-280) if you already have in ceiling solution? Could you recomend front Speakers that is not atmos enabled? If cheaper, better.. Thank you.
Great video...very well explained
Nice thanks for the tip. I will set up my system. Now I had Yamaha receiver for many years back in the 90s and I was blown away with the separation of sound and detail. Now I had a Denon for several years and It recently died on me. Question is when I'm shopping for a receiver with dolby atmos should I get a denon or Yamaha? I love both receivers but to me Denon puts out slightly better sound. This can be subjective, but its just me. thanks for any info.
This was really helpful.
Great review!!!
Thanks this was very well explained
Do you know of anyone who does high end audio for gaming? I interested in adding atmos to my pc gaming speakers but wanted a bit more info.
Are you using both the atmos enabled speakers for your front heights and ceilings for rears? That hybrid combo is my dream setup exact same speakers take me a decade to save up for it haha I might start with a 5.1.2 set up and expand. I recently bought a 5.1.2 soundbar with rear speakers which is by far the best soundbar I've ever had but all it really did is wet my beak with atmos enough to make me certain I want the real thing.
Where did you speak about dts x?
Majestech
I had a question for you that maybe you can help me on.
I'm in the market for a home theater system. I also in the process in buying a new t.v. currently I'm going with the Samsung q9f. And originally I was going with bose life style 650. After a few reviews, I notice that must people said that Bose is not true Dolby atmos or 4k sound quality. So long story short. What do you recommend so home system that I know I won't have to worry about upgrading anytime soon? Price range nothing over 4k since originally that was my budget on Bose lifestyle.
Which should I get atmos or dts? Are they interchangeable?
Great video, spot on!
Where did u buy you speakers? Looking to purchase.
Great video. I also have that same Denon Receiver. But your speakers and subs *look* (looks can be deceiving though) like they piss all over mine. I haven't set my system up yet (7.2.4) but I'm fortunate that the room is very ideal for an Atmos setup.
Man you are doing a fantastic job!! Keep it up! Thanks a ton!
does the BOSS surround support DOLBY ATMOS?
Question, if a movie or streaming video does not have dolby atmos support what does that mean exactly? does it mean that the entire speaker system or soundbar will not play the audio, or will only the speakers that reflect off the ceiling not work?
