Dolby Atmos hits the road

[sarumbear]

Immersive audio making it to luxury automobiles in the US. Mercedes is showing off the setup at CES 2023 with in-car demos.

This Maybach is equipped with a Burmester 4D sound system with 30 total speakers, six of which are in the ceiling. Think of those as playing the role of upfiring drivers in your Atmos soundbar. Amplifiers deliver 1,750 watts of power and both front- and trunk-mounted subs handle the bass (the trunk sub has its own 400-watt amp too). It's a completely insane setup installed in a $185,000 car. The immersive sound is so impressive, it even manages to upstage its lavish setting.
