#YAMAHA DOLBY ATMOS DEMO MOVIE#

In a nutshell, while there is very few compatible movie and music material available for consumers to experience this now, as with any new technology, it will take time to mature and be prevalent enough to be enjoyed all the time. Once you experience (a properly configured) Dolby Atmos, you just can't go back to standard surround sound. In essence, we felt that this scene did no justice to the excellent Yamaha hardware as it really required the assistance of the overhead speakers to bring about the same experience that you would have had when viewing this movie in the cinema.

Even so, it cannot compensate for the loss of the ceiling speakers and we found the experience to be a little 'flat' as there was no height element to the audio and the giant magnet seemed to be activated from the ground and around you rather than above you. Theoretically speaking, a Dolby Atmos-encoded title with Dolby Atmos-enabled hardware can re-configure itself based on the available speaker channel configuration to help deliver the best audio experience possible. Next, we re-evaluated this same scene without the ceiling speakers activated to feel how this segment would sound like without a Dolby Atmos-enabled setup. This is exactly where we experienced Dolby Atmos at its finestВ as the in-ceiling speakers helped to recreate a heightened sound field pertaining to reproducing the low rumbling audio of the giant magnet being activated overhead on Lockdown's ship. To showcase the Dolby Atmos experience, Yamaha treated us to a short segment within the Transformers movie where Lockdown's massive ship looms over Hong Kong and activates a really immense and powerful magnet that practically yanks anything and everything made of metal and wreaks havoc over the city. Transformers: Age of ExtinctionВ movie is the first Blu-ray title to feature an Atmos soundtrack, with more titles coming from Paramount Pictures, Warners Bros., Lionsgate, and streaming service Vudu. The RX-A3040 is priced at S$3,199 the RX-A2040 S$2,499.ДЄt this point of time, commercial showcase of the Dolby Atmos capability is pretty much constrained by the vastly limited movie titles with Dolby Atmos-encoded audio track rather than the hardware.

Now, Yamaha doesnвЂ™t have Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers at the moment, so in its demo at ISSE, its 7.2.4-channel setup (the. The latter basically projects the sounds upwards, and the waves are then reflected downwards to the listener after hitting the ceiling.

As weвЂ™ve mentioned before, to do Dolby Atmos right, the secret sauce is the overhead sound, which can be achieved using traditional ceiling speakers or upward-firing Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers (people in the AV circle call them the вЂheightвЂ™ speakers). Versus the other receivers in the A40 series (e.g., the RX-A1040, A840, A740), the biggest differentiator these two higher-end models have is Dolby Atmos support. The slight power amplification difference aside, both the RX-A3040 and RX-A2040 are 9.2-channel amplifiers that come with built-in Wi-Fi, HDMI 4K60p video support, and YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimiser) calibration tools. Yamaha is one of the first AV equipment makers to say that itвЂ™s going to support Dolby Atmos for the home, and the first two receivers to do that are the Aventage RX-A2040 & RX-A3040. WeвЂ™ve talked about our experience with Dolby Atmos at the cinemas in the past, and more recently, how AV brands are now bringing the вЂmulti-dimensionalвЂ™ surround sound tech to their home theater receivers.
