I think you will find they are stating the maximum speaker set up which can be used to enjoy either the Atmos or Auro 3D.
Hmm... I still think you're both thinking in pre-Atmos terms, where the only object was a speaker. The Atmos object concept is certainly not some sort of "maximum speaker" concept. An Atmos receiver does not "scale down" its objects to play on a lesser number of speakers, but rather inherently mixes its objects to make a spacial sound field out of whatever number and placement of speakers you have available. Very different concepts.the object vs speaker difference can be thought of as atmos having 34 sound objects and if each object had it's own dedicated speaker you would need 34 speakers
...
like I said, The atmos mix on the disc is basically "scaled down" to play on the limitations of your home AVR so that's how the manufacturer is going to list it for a home release.
People have been arranging hundreds of speakers in a spherical placement, with a capable Atmos-style decoder that can precisely locate those 34 objects so that a near-perfect 3D spacial field is created.
