Burmester sound system option

[69Mach390]

Music is 2 channel, there is very limited amount recorded in anything else because it makes zero sense.

Atmos is used for movies it is a digital position encoding technology. In home theater settings it often also refers to ceiling or upwards firing speakers.

In the context of the Taycan it only makes sense for movie soundtracks and the ability to play back positionally encoded audio. Not for music.

It may not make sense for music to some, but others like the “full sound” you get from some of the digital processing.

Others think it sounds too unnatural.

In the end, it’s good we have options to turn it on or off and the driver can pick.

On my last car, I hated the surround mode for music. I prefer it on the Taycan even though on the Bose the mixing isn’t great.

In my home theater, the Atmos receiver made EVERYTHING sound better than my old Dolby pro logic, even with the same speakers before I got the extra height ones.

It’s significantly better at “upscaling” the processing of even 2 channel sources.

I was blasting Bad Bunny on Super Bowl Sunday through the Burmester. It was 🤌

Dolby atmos is three things:
1. A tool to play positionally encoded Audio and map it to any speaker system.
2. Trademark for ceiling firing speakers.
3. Upscaler.

The upscaler used for Burmester is Auro3D, which is the exact same used on every Taycan since 2020. It is also far superior to the Dolby Atmos one.

Possibly your old receiver didn't have an upscaler, since Atmos is very old tech at this point.

There are generally three upscalers:
Dolby Atmos, DTS Neural X and Auro 3D.
Auro 3D being by far the best of them. Neural X and Atmos being similar, with Neural X being a little better IMO.

Since the upscaler itself is not implemented in the Taycan, but only the positional audio decoding part, then it makes absolutely zero difference in listening to music.

Basically your home experience does not apply to the Taycan whatsoever.
