Dolby's latest surround sound technology, Atmos, allows sound to come from all directions, including overhead, to create an immersive experience with astonishing clarity, richness, detail and depth. You can use ceiling speakers located above the listening position to create this overhead dimension. Speakers with a wide dispersion pattern such as the Monitor Audio C265FX are preferred. This will ensure the closest replication of the cinematic environment, where overhead speakers are placed high above the listeners.

Please note: The UL94/V0 Fire rating as advertised by Monitor Audio is a plastics flammability standard released by Underwriters Laboratories of the USA. In simple terms, compliance with the standard ensures that plastic subjected to intense heat, such as with a fire in the home, will melt but not ignite.
Whilst this is a valuable safety feature, it should not be regarded as a measure of fire safety compliance for UK Building Regulations. These require the installation of fire hoods that reinstate the fire barrier of the original ceiling when ceiling speakers are installed beneath a habitable living space. Hoody speaker hoods available on this website meet the requirements of Building Regulations for this purpose.
