Can these be used as Dolby Atmos enabled speakers? null

Dolby Atmos speakers need to either be in-ceiling, or facing the ceiling at about a 60 degree angle. The is a center channel speaker and I would only recommend using it as such.

They certainly are not the specialty front type speakers with independent Atmos drivers. Additionally, I couldn't see using them as the ceiling mounted speakers in an Atmos set up. Way to bulky. (Flush aunt are generally used for ceiling overheads)

This is speaker is designed for center channel frequencies, so you would loose a lot of dynamic range and consequently, the fine nuances needed for dimensional separation. Small broad frequency bookshelf speakers work well for Atmos.

I wouldn't. I think the horn has about a 60 degree throw (30 up / 30 down) so the angle of the reflection for a 'height' channel probably wouldn't work for the effect your looking for.

No, this is a Center Channel speaker. It is not Atmos enabled and is NOT designed to be used for that application.
