Podcast #660: Jack Sharkey of KEF on Dolby Atmos

A few listeners have written and asked us what our take on Dolby Atmos is. Since we don’t have any gear capable of decoding Atmos we thought we’d enlist Kef’s own Jack Sharkey (Internet Marketing & Event Coordinator) to discuss this technology.

Podcast #656: Movie Theaters Enter the Fourth Dimension
