MediaTek and Dolby Laboratories have joined forces to bring Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to the next generation of soundbars. Showcased at CES 2025, this innovative solution aims to redefine home audio experiences by seamlessly integrating Dolby Atmos technology with MediaTek’s advanced audio and connectivity expertise.
A New Era of Audio Freedom
Dolby Atmos FlexConnect enables soundbars to pair effortlessly with wireless speakers, offering a highly immersive Dolby Atmos experience tailored to any room layout or speaker configuration. By dynamically optimizing sound performance based on the unique characteristics of a room, the technology ensures every seat is the best seat in the house.
This innovation addresses common challenges, such as unconventional room layouts, inaccessible power outlets, and aesthetic considerations, which often prevent speakers from being placed in optimal positions. With FlexConnect, users can freely position one or more wireless speakers anywhere without sacrificing sound quality or precision.
