When you think about what makes the movie theater experience truly unlike anything else (even on a REALLY big TV), it probably isn’t the screen you think about but rather, the captivating surround sound audio. Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary audio technology that creates an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience in home theaters, making you feel like you’re part of the action.. Let’s delve into how Dolby Atmos works and why it’s a game-changer for home audio.
Dolby Atmos is an advanced audio technology that adds a three-dimensional layer to sound. Traditional surround sound systems deliver audio through fixed channels, while Dolby Atmos allows sound to move freely around the room. This creates a more dynamic and realistic listening experience.
Dolby Atmos works by adding what is known in the industry as “height channels” to your audio system. This means sound can come from above, as well as from around you – it truly surrounds you for a more realistic experience. Specialized speakers or up-firing modules bounce sound off the ceiling, creating the illusion of audio coming from different directions. This spatial audio effect makes scenes more immersive, whether it’s the sound of rain falling or a helicopter flying overhead. Custom home theater design and speaker placement are essential to create the desired immersive audio effect that you want.
To enjoy Dolby Atmos at home, you’ll need compatible equipment. This typically includes an AV receiver or soundbar with Dolby Atmos support, and additional speakers for height channels. Here are some tips for setting up:
Dolby Atmos transforms home audio by creating a three-dimensional sound experience. With the right setup, you can enjoy unparalleled immersion, making every movie night extraordinary. Whether you’re watching an action-packed blockbuster or a quiet drama, Dolby Atmos enhances your viewing experience.
I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away

We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.

They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!

These guys are simply amazing! Terrific on all fronts – knowledge/experience with technology, creative, and most importantly, enormously responsive! They implemented a fantastic home entertainment, network, security and lighting solution that is state-of-the-art and cost efficiently designed for what we need. Eric (the founder) and his team (Curt, Jeff, and Hector) are invariably available (they respond within minutes, even on the weekend) to resolve issues. Their service is simply “five star!”

Sound and Vision has been servicing our Crestron system at our home since 2008. ALL their service techs that have worked in my home since the beginning are still with the company. They are professional, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable on all technical issues.
Also, any need for emergency calls they are always quick to respond. It is a pleasure working with Eric, Josie, and the entire staff!
