This is my first post. I've read posts in this forum before, throughout the years, and there is some real insightful information, cordial people, and brilliant responses. The reason for my first post is because; I would like to know, is it possible to simulate Dolby Atmos, on a non-DA system?
I believe the answer to my question is, no. My HT system is a 7.2 system, I have all of the speakers (save an additional subwoofer, connected). Now the subwoofer I have has four input/ output connectors. My assumption is that if I attach speakers to the subwoofer, it will replicate the left and right fronts and surrounds. I know Atmos is based on individual object sounds, and even if I am not able to replicate Atmos, could in theory I hook these speakers up to the subwoofer while having the other speakers in their dedicated channels without, ya know, blowing up my system?
If I have already assumed correctly, is there anyone who has tried to do a hack job, by doing something similar, before they pumped funds into upgrading their system and getting Dolby Atmos certified speakers?
