All Dolby Atmos mixes and masters are delivered in a range of professionally prepared formats, giving you everything required to distribute, archive and play back your music in Dolby Atmos.
Every Dolby Atmos project we deliver is completed to the highest professional standard and prepared in accordance with Dolby's technical guidelines and quality-control requirements.
These standards help ensure consistency across the industry and provide distributors, streaming platforms and playback systems with correctly prepared Dolby Atmos content.
Alongside the main ADM master files, we also supply additional playback and re-render formats so you have the files required for distribution, reference listening, archiving and future production use.
Standard Dolby Atmos deliverables include:
Dolby Atmos Technical Standards
Our Dolby Atmos mixes and masters are prepared to meet the technical standards required for professional Dolby Atmos delivery.
This quality-control process ensures that every project is prepared consistently and is suitable for delivery to supported streaming and distribution platforms.
Dolby Atmos Deliverables
ADM File – 48 kHz / 24 fps
The 48 kHz Dolby Atmos ADM master is the primary distribution file used for delivering Dolby Atmos music to supported streaming platforms including Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music and AvidPlay.
The ADM file can also be imported back into a compatible DAW or Dolby Atmos workflow, allowing the individual objects and beds within the Atmos master to be reconstructed and played back correctly.
ADM File – 96 kHz / 24 fps
The 96 kHz Dolby Atmos ADM master provides a higher-resolution archive version of your Dolby Atmos project.
It is not currently used for standard Dolby Atmos streaming distribution, but we supply it so you have a high-resolution master available for future formats, archiving and production requirements.
The file can also be imported into a compatible Dolby Atmos workflow to reconstruct the objects and beds using 96 kHz / 24-bit audio data.
Binaural File – 96 kHz / 24-bit
The binaural file provides a stereo headphone representation of the Dolby Atmos mix or master.
It is useful for previewing the immersive mix on headphones or conventional stereo playback systems without requiring a full multichannel Dolby Atmos speaker setup.
Re-Renders – 96 kHz / 24-bit
The Re-Renders folder contains direct renders created from the Dolby Atmos Renderer for a range of different speaker configurations and playback requirements.
These files provide professionally generated fold-downs of the Dolby Atmos master for different channel layouts.
Dolby Atmos MP4
The Dolby Atmos MP4 provides a convenient encoded version of the immersive master for compatible consumer playback devices.
It is useful for reviewing and demonstrating the Dolby Atmos mix outside the studio without requiring access to the original ADM production master.
