Summary

Imagine sounds swirling around you from left to right, rising up from below to the greatest heights and moving you backwards from front to rear until they finally disappear. This is a sonic universe which fully immerses you. It's a three-dimensional surround sound technology called Dolby Atmos.

Grammy-nominated engineer, David Ivory, who heads the Sound Recording and Music Technology Department at Montgomery County Community College discusses the components and programming of the Dolby Atmos System.

Featuring a Dolby Atmos mix of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, it's an immersive experience like you never heard before. With a 7.4.2 speaker system (that's 7 surround speakers, 4 elevated speakers and 2 subwoofers), Freddie Mercury's masterpiece is virtually performed in an operatic setting.
