AliceThe Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 is the first tablet to feature Dolby Atmos sound, featuring the ability to play films with Dolby Atmos soundtracks over standard headphones.
Combining the object-based audio of Atmos with Dolby’s knowledge of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), Dolby can enable devices like the Fire HDX 8.9 to deliver the Dolby Atmos experience that comes from all directions, including overhead.
Dolby Atmos on a mobile device takes the spatial information from the audio created for the cinema and renders it accurately over headphones to give the listener the experience of a three-dimensional space.
The Fire HDX 8.9 tablet ranges in price from a 16GB storage capacity version at £329.00 to a 64GB version priced at £409.00.
