Since we upgraded our showrooms a few weeks ago with Dolby Atmos installations, you've had the opportunity to come and enjoy comparing the competing Dolby 3D sound format with the Auro 3D. Make comparison between original and the new kid on the block and decide for yourself which set-up, in your perspective, has the competing edge.
While Dolby and Auro Technologies have been around several months, causing a big stir with their 3D sound technologies Atmos and Auro, the surround sound specialists DTS have kept theirs conspicuously tucked away until now.

That this situation is not just here to stay but also the future -- a feeling which is shared by a coup of 100 existing industry that the Digital Protection Consortium. The HDCP 2.2 is designed to protect well into the future especially 4K material in terms of piracy. We have compiled all the important facts for you.
Although even the most devoted of home cinema fans appreciate the virtues that each element contributes to a soundscape, the subwoofer has never been easily intergrated into the scene. Quick to be dismissed as an unruly booming lumberbox which does more to tilt the soundscape than to balance it, suspicion that the humble subwoofer as a relic belonging to the classical and vintage soundsystems.
