Test your home cinema with Dolby Atmos content

Hear the difference of Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos is a pioneering spatial audio technology. What does spatial audio technology mean? Simply put, it means that sound is no longer limited to coming out of a specific speaker. Even in multi-speaker surround sound home cinema setups, the sounds are played back through individual speakers to create your audio experience. In Dolby Atmos, sounds can be placed in 3D space. A helicopter can hover overhead. A race car can roar past you and then weave in front of you. A mosquito can drive you crazy buzzing around your head. Dolby Atmos is entertainment you can feel. For a creator, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. For film lovers, it means being inside the story. Born in cinemas, Dolby Atmos is now easy to bring home. And we’ve got some great content suggestions to help you test your home cinema with the best content in Dolby Atmos. 

 

Dolby Atmos content is available on many streaming services. Check with your provider, as you’ll need a compatible subscription and a device – TV, soundbar, or speakers – enabled with Dolby Atmos. Then sit back and hear the difference. You’ll have no doubt that Dolby Atmos is worth it. 

Put your home cinema to the test with content in Dolby Atmos

 Disney+

If you have a Swiftie in the family, the crowd pleaser and highest-grossing tour of all time – The Eras Tour – is available in Dolby Atmos on Disney+ with TAYLOR SWIFT|THE ERAS TOUR. Three-and-a-half hours long, with 40+ songs, this strong setlist and sure fan favourite charts the journey of Swift’s success by taking the audience on an odyssey of her rise to fame through each of her albums in succession. With acoustic guitar, piano songs and her classic pop hits, you can bring Taylor into your home cinema and experience the magic of the concert as if you were there for the real thing (but without sitting through the audience’s piercing screams!). If you listen to music in Dolby Atmos, you already know how amazing music in Dolby Atmos can be. But it gets taken to a different level when you have spectacular stage show, filled with bright colours and dazzling costumes.  

 

Netflix 

Dolby Atmos is great for making music come alive, but that’s not all. On Netflix, you’ll find something a little more fast-paced to pump up your adrenaline: Formula 1: Drive to Survive could be the perfect choice to test out your soundbar or surround sound setup. This is part reality show, with all the drama that brings, and part F1 racing documentary, with closeups on cars, drivers, and pit row. Dolby Atmos brings the roar of the engines into your living room. Placing you right in the action, this is a great sound test for your Dolby Atmos home cinema.  

 

Apple TV+ 

If you’re interested in not just Dolby Atmos testing, but want to test your nerves as well, consider checking out A Quiet Place: Day One on Apple TV+. In this prequel to the smash hits A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, every little sound matters. The film shows the first days of the alien invasion that unleashed vicious hunters that use sound to hunt down their prey. It’s an action film, with all the big dramatic sounds you’d expect, but it also makes use of silences and small, directional sounds to raise tension as the protagonists struggle to survive in a world that’s been changed forever. You might want to watch this one with the lights on.
