Dolby Atmos is an advanced home audio technology that creates a three-dimensional sound experience by adding height channels to traditional surround sound. Instead of sound just moving around you, it flows above and behind you as well—making movies, music and video games feel more immersive and lifelike.

While Dolby Atmos multi-speaker home audio systems give you the greatest benefits, choosing the best Dolby Atmos sound bar can significantly enhance your home audio experience and overall enjoyment. For particular richness and depth in your soundscape, you can also pair your sound bar with a Dolby Atmos subwoofer. The sound bar and subwoofer combo will deliver a surprisingly wide pitch range.

While you can choose a TV with Dolby Atmos sound, you have greater control over your speaker placement and performance when you choose a dedicated theater audio system or sound bar. Some streaming services for movies, TV and music offer a Dolby Atmos sound setting, meaning you will enjoy customized premium sound. Xbox Series X|S consoles can also play games with Dolby Atmos sound.

After choosing the best sound bar for your home audio, it’s time to get it up and running. To begin, you will want to spend a little time tweaking your placement options to identify the very best location given the size and shape of your room.

If you have chosen a mountable Dolby Atmos sound bar, you’ll need to ensure you mount it properly by identifying the right kind of wall or ceiling materials you need to secure it and by picking a compatible sound bar mount. For the easiest sound bar mounting experience, set up an appointment with a professional home theater and audio installation team.

Thanks to wireless technology, connecting your new sound bar and home speakers has become easier than ever. With a Bluetooth Dolby Atmos sound bar, you simply need to connect your TV and speaker via Bluetooth. Conveniently, you can also use the wireless signal to connect any Bluetooth-compatible device to the Dolby Atmos sound bar, so you can play music from a phone or tablet when you’re not using your TV.
