Dolby announced today that its new technology, Dolby Atmos for Music will debut later this month at Sound-Bar, an upscale nightclub in Chicago.

Dolby Atmos takes music listening to the next level. It goes far beyond stereo and even surround sound, by allowing the music to move around you. I had a chance to get a demo of Atmos last year at Dolby’s San Francisco headquarters and it was pretty amazing. I can’t imagine what it’s going to sound like in 20,000 sq. foot Sound-Bar.

Here are a couple of points from the Dolby Atmos page:

• Rather than being constrained to channels, sounds can be precisely placed and moved in three-dimensional space.
• A new sensation of height immerses you in the action, creating a full audio atmosphere and realistically depicting objects moving overhead.

If you’re in Chicago, do yourself a favor and go give this a listen—you won’t be disappointed.
