Find The Best Immersive Audio Gear For You at Vintage King

Over the past decade, immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos have become standard for professional film and TV mixes and are increasingly popular in the music industry. These mixes add a new dimension to sound, making listeners feel as if they’re experiencing their favorite song or movie for the first time.

Evolving from traditional surround sound, which focuses on horizontal sound placement, immersive audio introduces overhead speakers for a vertical sound component. The Society of Motion Picture and TV Engineers (SMPTE) defines immersive audio as encompassing channel-, object-, and scene-based surround sound technologies:

  • Channel-based audio: Captures sound sources on separate channels, as with 5.1 or 7.1 systems.
  • Object-based audio: Uses metadata to position sound objects anywhere in the listening environment.
  • Scene-based audio: Represents a 360-degree sphere of sound but lacks major studio endorsements.

Various Immersive Audio Formats Have Emerged:

  • Auro-3D (2010): The first to add height layers, initially channel-based but now supporting audio objects with AuroMax (up to 13.x channels).
  • Dolby Atmos (2012): Combines channel-based audio with objects, supporting systems up to 11.1 channels with a 7.1.2 base.
  • Sony 360 Reality Audio (2019): Built on the MPEG‑3D Audio standard, supported on certified headphones and soundbars.
  • DTS:X Pro (2020): Expands the DTS:X format to up to 30.2 channels, including height speakers.
  • Apple Spatial Audio (2021): Enables Dolby Atmos mixes on headphones with head-tracking technology for real-time adjustment.
