Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format. Beyond the left and right positions of a stereo mix, it lets us work with depth, height and movement. The mix carries audio and positioning information that the playback system adapts to the listening equipment.

Apple Music, TIDAL and Amazon Music offer music in Dolby Atmos. Availability depends on the track, plan, region and device. Look for the Dolby Atmos label on the version you are playing and check your service’s playback guidance.

You can also listen on ordinary stereo headphones with a compatible app and device. Binaural rendering adapts the mix to the two headphone channels to provide cues for direction and distance. Headphone playback is a different listening experience from a multichannel speaker room.

Check your device model against the service’s support information and look for Dolby Atmos in the app’s audio settings. No single Android version guarantees support on every phone. Ordinary headphones may require a specific setting; head tracking needs compatible devices and headphones.

Send the individual tracks or groups agreed with the studio as 48 kHz WAV files, all with the same start point and the release arrangement. Include the approved stereo mix or master as a reference. The required material depends on whether you book Atmos Groups or a full mix, so confirm the scope before exporting.
Keep the stereo and Dolby Atmos versions as separate release deliverables. A two-channel binaural file can be used to check headphone playback, but it does not replace the Atmos delivery file. The studio confirms delivery formats according to the distributor and booked service.

Pimp My Track has a 7.1.4 monitoring room, with speakers around the listening position and four height channels. This lets us assess position, height and movement in the room. We also check binaural headphone playback during the work.
