Apple Spatial Audio, 360 degrees, Dolby Atmos, or Immersive mixing-these are not just buzzwords, but the cutting-edge technologies revolutionizing the music industry. While they've been enhancing the cinematic experience for over a decade, they are now making their way into the audio world. Imagine being surrounded by several speakers, an LFE (low-frequency enhancement) subwoofer channel, and speakers positioned above your head, all working in harmony to immerse you in a new realm of sound.

The Dolby Atmos Numbering System

The numbering system is 9.1.4 - a three-numbering system with periods in between. The first number represents the number of speakers around the listener. We are used to hearing 5.1 or 7.1 when referring to surround sound. The second number represents the subwoofer. The difference is that Atmos refers to it as the LFE. The distinction is because you can have multiple subwoofers in Atmos. Therefore, the .1 is not the number of subwoofers as it is in surround sound. The last number is the number of speakers above the listener.
