Thanks for the awesome comments, everyone! This was a fun video to make, and I love strolling down memory lane with you all about first surround sound experiences. Many of them sound like my own! Now, what should we explain next?
-
My dad bought a Bose 5.1 surround setup and the first movie we watched was Jurassic Park. Watching that movie with that setup was a life changing moment that has always stuck with me.
-
About 15 years ago at a sharper image Store. A 5.1 playing the incredibles. I knew I had to have it.a couple Years later I got my first 7.1 system, and have made consistent upgrades to my current 7.3.2 Dolby atmos system. Iโll never go back
-
Iโve upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1.2 and just recently to 5.1.4. Adding the atmos speakers made a huge difference in how realistic the sound moves around the room. Itโs a living room, unfortunately donโt have room for a dedicated home theater but I couldnโt be happier with my setup. Shut the lights off and it sounds just like youโre there.
-
The first movie I saw that the surround sound changed the whole experience and my life forever was Saving Private Ryan. I mean. Incredible. Bullets buzzing around just incredible.
-
Letโs just say the very first time I heard a DA demo I immediately upgraded my theater processor and added an additional amplifier with four Atmos speakers to my system. Thatโs how amazing I found it to be. IMO itโs the best thing to happen to movie sound within the last two decades.
-
The first time I heard discreet 5.1 surround sound was in the mid 90โs when I worked for Best Buy. Those of us in the video department went to a training conference. They played the DVD of โHeatโ and used the downtown gun fight scene. It was and still is pretty epic!
-
My parents were obsessed with cinema and so I grew up in a home that always had a movie teather in the living room, i have watched so many movies on that and it always blew me away, now i have the old 5.1 surround that they gave me after buying an atmos system, so many memories ๐
-
My first surround sound experience was at a Santa Monica stadium seating theater seeing The Fifth Element. I was completely blown away and that got me into this "hobby". Just added 2 in ceiling Atmos speakers to bring my system to 5.1.2 and watched the 4K blu-ray recently. Just an awesome experience also and brought it full circle for me. Great video!
-
Dolby atmos really does make a massive difference for me when watching movies.
-
I've had my Atmos setup for around 5 years now and it really enhances the at home movie experience. I'm running a 7.1.2 setup, utilizing floor speakers for the front LCR, and in wall and incielings for surrounds, surround backs, and top middle speakers. The overhead atmos speakers definitely are worth it.
-
I have seen several Dolby Atmos videos and articles. Yours is the best. By demonstrating how the old surround sound works in a cinema, then how the fly is buzzing all around the auditorium with Atmos, there is not a single shred of doubt that Atmos is far superior. Thank you.
-
One of the most impactive upgrades I made to my theatre room was installing 2 overheard in ceiling Atmos speakers. 7.1.2 is just amazing.
-
This is some next level explanation. I've never heard someone talk about it or have seen a video about it. Thanks Mr Caleb
-
I tell people that the single biggest improvement of Atomos over channel based surround, is scalability. You should get the same effect in your 7.1.4 home setup, as you would in a theatre. Maybe quieter, but the spacing should feel the same relative to the audience.
-
First amazing home surround sound experience was Rustler's Rhapsody (1985). More generally, as to all your videos: I love the channel! Your explanations are deep enough to tell me what I want to know without losing me - the perfect levels of detail, geekiness and precision - and always so interesting and on-topic! This is one of my favorite channels on YouTube. Bravo!
-
Finally the video I was looking forward to. I absolutely love Dolby Atmos and now I even know how it works, thank you so much
-
My first surround experience was in the early 2000s. My dad went and bought a wide screen TV and a Panasonic surround system. 5.1 sorround watching Final fantasy: the spirit within. I was blown away. During the years i was more invested in headphones, turning to stereo in the later days. Thanks Caleb, you've done a lot for my inspiration to dare and try stuff out.
-
I was blessed with an opportunity to get a demo of the Atmos system at the Dolby Labs research theater in San Francisco from the VP of engineering. This theater was sonically isolated from the rest of the building and the city street. 128 speakers surrounding the audience and hundreds of thousands of high contrast colors - WOW what a sonic and visual experience!
-
Just started to plan an upgrade to my system and come across yourself. I asked a shop assistant yesterday what Dolby Atmos was and he indicated it was to do with the sound. That answer was a typical answer of someone just selling a product, and not fully clued up on what they are actually selling. Grate informative video buddy.
