What is Dolby Atmos 3 Instruction Manual What is Dolby Atmos? Figure 2 Dolby Atmos® adds the essential characteristic that’s been missing from the home theater experience: the sense of true audible three-dimensionality. Dolby Atmos-encoded movies deliver this experience, like no other movie format can. You’ll get a great immersive experience, no matter what kind of Dolby Atmos home theater setup you have. Dolby Atmos content is mixed as audio objects instead of traditional channels.
Placement 44-DA Dolby Atmos-Enabled Loudspeaker Placement...(continued) For the side or back surround channels in a 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 system: Three Basic Configurations Either place the 44-DA directly on the associated surround speaker, or place it no more than 2-3 ft away laterally and within ±18” vertically. We will cover three basic configurations for Dolby Atmos systems. See Figure 8 opposite page. • A 5.1.
Connecting Your System 5 Instruction Manual Speaker Placement Figure 8: Atmos Speaker Configuration (7.1.4 system shown) Connecting Your System We recommend that you connect your system using high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 16 gauge or heavier, for lengths up to 25 feet (8m). Remember, the lower the gauge number, the heavier the wire. Use heavier gauge wire for longer runs.
System Wiring 44-DA Dolby Atmos-Enabled Loudspeaker System Wiring (5.1.2 system shown) Be sure to connect red (+) on the speaker to red (+) on the amplifier and black (–) on the speaker to black (–) on the amplifier.
Setting Levels 7 Instruction Manual Setting Levels We recommend as a starting point to set the Atmos channels up to 4dB higher than the average level of the other channels. This will help prevent the Atmos channels from being washed out by the other channels. As with any home theater set up the ultimate speaker placement and listening levels of your system are yours to choose.
