turning up the volume on Dolby Atmos DTS X surround sound ways to make the movie more immersive!
In this video we are taking a look at how a Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos performs the height functions and what the difference can be utilizing an external amplifier in addition to your surround sound AV receiver. I have talked about the several benefits of using external amplifiers and previous videos however in addition to taking off strain on your amplifier this method utilizes one to determine what volume or a specific set of height speakers and how each one of them will sound. Using this method I am able to add two or four different height channels turn the bass and treble up and down also pan left and right utilize a direct and a loudness setting as well as give great performance from any movie soundtrack not just Dolby Atmos and DTS X. By using a receiver that is built for height effects you are also able to put analog and digital signals into a surround format and utilize the height channels.
This is a price effective method of adding an external amplifier to your surround sound system. In this video what I have done is added an integrated amplifier from Pioneer specifically the elite a20 integrated amp. I have ran pre out RCA cables from my Marantz to my Pioneer giving an added ability to the front height channels. This extra punch or amplification the speaker's allows me to turn up and down the volume as I wish and also add an extra Dimension or layer of speakers are channels if you will. Dolby Atmos and dtsx X are designed around utilizing 2 to 4 height channels, I found this to be one of the most cost-effective methods of adding an external amplifier opposed to buying a power amplifier dedicated to doing the job correctly. Both devices perform the same function however adding the integrated amp also allows you to have 4 channels or speakers. Keep in mind these speakers are not properly mounted yet nor are they facing the listening position properly also the wires aren't hidden permanently yet so there are a few steps two making things aesthetically appear neat and clean. One of the biggest problems with using the height channels or speakers directly from your 9 Channel or 7 Channel receiver is that it is very difficult if at all to notice the height effects, this way we are able to determine exactly what object is panning in the room where a helicopter flies or added ambience is taking place. This is one of the best ways to experience Dolby Atmos and the newest surround sound object-based formats including DTS X. I have personally found the Klipsch bookshelf speakers to be one of the most discernible or better speakers on the market used for height speakers. I would also call the elevation speakers from SVS as well as the satellite speakers from SVS a perfect addition to the job that will perform this function effortlessly.
