Surround formats that contain additional height information, such as Dolby Atmos, have taken the home cinema world by storm. The additional audio information lifts the acoustic proceedings to a new level in the truest sense of the word. Switching to the corresponding electronics is quick and easy, however, the corresponding height channels need to be added first on the speaker side.
Not everyone can, or wants to, install separate speakers in the ceiling above the ears of the listener. Speakers that reproduce the height signal via reflections from the ceiling therefore present the best solution in most cases. These are also referred to as “upward-firing” speakers. But do you have to buy all new speakers? Not at all. Additional speakers such as the ATM 202, which are simply placed on top of existing front channels, allow you to set up a corresponding system in no time.
