I was fortunate to listen to five Dolby Atmos demos on the show floor today and hope to listen to a few more tomorrow. The first Dolby Atmos demo I experienced was at the GoldenEar Technology sound room. Sandy Gross put together an amazing demo using the flagship GoldenEar Triton One speakers, a SuperCenter XL, and four ceiling-mounted Invisa HTR 7000 as the Dolby Atmos height speakers. Sandy played several trailers and video clips using the Dolby Atmos processing in the new Integra DHC 80.6 preamp/processor. The overall sound quality was excellent, but that didnt surprise me because this was an impressive set of speakers. The Dolby Atmos soundtracks immersed the room in sound. Trailers with rain and jungle sounds created sound effects that moved overhead and all around us. The video clip from Transformers: Age of Extinction brought the audience into the chaos ensuing on the screen. My overall impression of Dolby Atmos was that the technology works as advertised. It definitely created a more three-dimensional surround experience and I really enjoyed it. The GoldenEar demo was now my benchmark for the day. Much more on Dolby Atmos tomorrow.
