Dolby Surround Sound Atmos 62.2 Channels Coming to Home Theater?

The system, which has debut with the  Pixar flick "Brave," offers a 62.2 surround sound format that includes developments such as pan-through array and overhead speakers.

While the 62.2 format will likely never make it into home theaters, it's something that integrators should be aware of.

This video from Dolby not only runs through the historical development of audio, from mono to stereo to 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound, but it explains in detail how the new Atmos system works. It is a great video to show your customers about the importance of sound immersion.

To date, 14 theaters are equipped with the system. by jason knott
