How to get your own Dolby Atmos system

Ole Witthøft

– and a top-class music system that upgrades your TV sound

Music in Dolby Atmos is more than just amazing sound – it’s a whole new way to experience music. Instead of being placed in front of the music, you are inside it. Atmos opens a universe of detail, space, and
presence, creating meaningful moments in everyday life where you can feel the music around you.

Streaming platforms like Apple Music make the technology widely accessible and drive a wave of releases that only grows year by year. System Audio builds on this breakthrough with our Silverback speakers: award-winning, wireless high-end speakers that bring studio quality into your living room, completely without cables or hassle. Together with Surround Hub or Surround Hub X, you can create your own wireless Dolby Atmos system – as simple as you want it, or as advanced as you dream of.

There are two paths to a Dolby Atmos system:

Step-by-Step solutions

Here is our step-by-step guide to building exactly the system that fits your home, your needs, and your interior.

1. Start with a strong 2.0 music system – The foundation of everything

The solution starts with Surround Hub or Surround Hub X.

The hub acts as the control center and streams music in High Resolution quality, features Room Service room correction, and connects your TV, turntable, CD, etc. – without the need for old-fashioned amplifiers
or speaker cables.

First: Choose your front speakers

Here are the options:

Wall-mounted speakers

Legend 7.2 silverback – elegant and powerful wall speaker, or Silverback 1 – compact, designed for wall or shelf

Bookshelf speakers

Legend 5.2 silverback DS delivers full-bodied, precise sound without dominating the room.

Floorstanding speakers

Legend 40.2 silverback DS and the larger Legend 60.2 silverback – powerful, dynamic, ideal for larger rooms or listeners who want to “feel the music”.

Note: Save money by buying the hub and front speakers as a bundle.

The hub gives you instantly:

  • Spotify Lossless, Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, and Roon Ready streaming
  • HDMI connection to TV
  • Connection for turntable, CD, and computer
  • Room correction via SA Cockpit (Room Service) for perfect sound in your room

The system already provides great TV sound, outstanding music experiences, and easy operation via the included remote control and your smartphone.

2. Add Apple TV and Apple Music – The path to Atmos experiences

To get Dolby Atmos music:

  • Connect Apple TV directly to Surround Hub X via HDMI
  • Subscribe to Apple Music, which has one of the world’s largest Dolby Atmos catalogs

This gives you instant access to immersive Atmos mixes – from new releases to remastered classics.

3. Expand to a 4.0 system – Bring Dolby Atmos music to life

When you want to expand the experience, add:

Two rear speakers. A great choice is Silverback 1, which is easy to wall-mount and takes up minimal space, but you can also choose the even better Legend 5.2 silverback DS or Legend 7.2 silverback.

The speakers are set up as rear speakers in the SA Cockpit app, which handles distance, level, and room correction for you.

The advantage of 4.0

It expands the soundstage and provides a sensational Dolby Atmos experience, without the need for ceiling-mounted height channels.

4. Add a center speaker – Clarity for movies and TV

The center channel Legend 10.2 silverback provides:

  • Clearer dialogue
  • More focused voices
  • A stable soundstage, no matter where you sit

The center speaker can be placed on a shelf, in a TV cabinet, or mounted on the wall with the W.5 bracket.

5. Get deeper musicality with wireless subwoofers
System Audio offers two unique subwoofers, both controlled via SA Cockpit.

Silverback Sub Solo

  • It can be wall-mounted with built-in brackets, placed in furniture, or stand on the floor in a corner
  • DSP-controlled and optimized for music and film at both high and low volume

Silverback Sub Duo

  • Added for more depth, speed, and more physical experience
  • Should be placed in the opposite corner from Sub Solo for best acoustics

The system automatically calibrates both subs, so they work as one unit. Change your living room to an inspiring universe of sound, where music surrounds you and movie sound makes you forget you’re at home.

With System Audio’s wireless Dolby Atmos solutions, you get studio quality, flexibility, and design that fits any home – without cables, without hassle. Whether you start small or go all-in from the beginning, you get an experience that enhances your quality of life and gives you meaningful moments with all kinds of entertainment.
