Immersive multichannel audio solutions have been developing since the 1960s, with the first spatial audio technology being developed by Bell Labs. This technology used an array of microphones to create a 3D sound field, and was initially used in film and television. Over the years, surround sound, ambisonic audio, and object-based audio have been developed. Surround sound, which was introduced in the 1990s, uses multiple speakers to create a 3D sound field. It is commonly used in movie theaters. Ambisonic audio was developed in the 1970s, uses a microphone array to capture sound in 3D. It is often used in film and virtual reality applications, as it can create a realistic and immersive sound field that responds to the listener’s head movements.
Although immersive audio sounds nice, my experience of apple music’s dolby atmos mode was bad. The song under Dolby atmos sounds not nice, they lack power and stability. I think we need to wait for its future development.
