Does Dts X Use Height Speakers?

Height Effects Speaker Technology:
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X rely on a combination of conventional “ear-level” surround speakers (front, center, surround and surround-back) combined with two, four or even six height effects speakers to complete the three-dimensional sound field.

How many speakers are needed for DTS X?

While Dolby Atmos requires you to add extra overhead channels to your 5.1 or 7.1 setup, DTS:X works with standard surround speaker setups – just like the one you might already have at home. It can support up to 32 speaker locations and up to an 11.2-channel system.

Does DTS X have height?

What is DTS:X? Like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X.is an object-based surround sound technology that expands on conventional surround sound systems. Unlike Dolby Atmos, DTS:X has no requirements for additional height channels, or requirements for a specific number of speakers in any configuration.
