Does XPlus feature Dolby Atmos Sound?
Yes, our XPlus Laser auditoriums feature Dolby Atmos® Sound.
Dolby Atmos™ sound is the most significant development in cinema audio since the arrival of surround sound. Dialogue follows characters. Sound effects track with camera pans. Ambient sounds envelop the audience.
Dolby Atmos creates an immersive sound experience by placing sounds all around the audience—including overhead—rather than limiting them to traditional speaker channels.
This allows filmmakers to position sounds more naturally within a scene.
For example:
- Rain can seem to fall from above.
- Cars race across the auditorium.
- Dialogue remains clear, even during high octane action scenes.
- Musical scores feel richer and more detailed.
The result is a cinema experience that makes you feel part of the action. And for the first time, you’ll hear the whole picture.
