eli5 – How does Dolby atmos work and make your brain think sound is coming from an area with no speakers?
In: 10
To be fair… the setups without speakers (soundbar bouncing off ceiling vs actual speakers in the ceiling) are kinda gimmicky. It definitely works, it just isn’t a game changer.
But yes, long story short, it bounces off the ceiling. My soundbar setup has speakers facing upward at roughly a 66 degree angle. Additionally, the equalization is set up for my room. The system played various sounds while I walk around with my phone so it could understand my room’s acoustics and equalize itself.
