True Sound 5.1 vs Dolby Atmos Sound: Which is better?
For many of us, sound quality can make or break our viewing experiences.
Enhancing the atmosphere and evoking emotions, sound plays a crucial role in the viewing experience, and without it, our favourite TV shows and movies would feel incomplete.
In the high-quality audio sector, there are two formats that stand out against the rest:
True Sound 5.1 and Adobe Dolby Atmos.
Each of these formats has been built into TV beds to provide the most engaging and immersive viewing experience for many years – but which is better, and what can you expect when you shop with us here at TV Bed?

What is Adobe Dolby Atmos?
Unlike traditional sound technology based on channels that confine sounds to fixed paths, Dolby Atmos breaks these barriers with a three-dimensional audio experience.
Sounds can flow freely through the listener, coming from all directions and offering a feeling of total immersion – surrounding the listener left, right, and centre.
The number of speakers can vary depending on the model and design of the sound system, but typically, there are several speakers built into the system, some of which are upward firing to create the effect of sound coming from above.
What about True Sound 5.1?
True Sound 5.1 is a surround sound system that features several key components, including:
- Front left and right speakers – Built into the soundbar itself, these speakers manage most audio tracks, from dialogue to music.
- Central speaker – Built into the centre of the system, this speaker is crucial for dialogue and sounds related to visual action.
- Rear left and right speakers – Two additional speakers placed behind the listener create an ambient effect, further enhancing the immersive audio experience.
- Subwoofer (.1) – Responsible for low-audio frequencies, this element adds depth and intensity to the sounds.
By allowing sound to emit from multiple different directions, this technology provides an engaging and multi-layered audio experience that’s impossible to achieve with traditional two-channel systems.
Which is better?
The main difference between the two lies in their sound processing capabilities, but both are excellent options if you want to bring an immersive sound experience to your home.
However, True Sound 5.1 reigns supreme for those on the hunt for a high-quality and reliable surround sound experience.
Here at TV Bed, we’ve got an impressive selection of TV beds that feature high-quality, built-in sound systems equipped with True Sound 5.1 technology.
