Apple - Dolby Atmos Delivery Specs

What is Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos?

Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos is an advanced sound technology that creates immersive, three-dimensional audio experiences. Dolby Atmos is another form of audio that enables artists, producers, and audio engineers to record and mix music. This format of Spatial Audio comes equipped with a multidimensional soundscape, where the music comes from all around and from above — creating a profound listening experience.

Dolby Atmos is a surround-sound format that has been around for over a decade. It is known as an object-based format rather than a channel-based format. This means that you have the ability to move different objects — which are sounds — in three dimensions all around a listener.

Spatial Audio is how Apple refers to various playback technologies for different forms of immersive audio, including Dolby Atmos.
