Until now, music has traditionally been limited to stereo, while surround sound has largely been reserved for TV and films. By mixing music in surround sound, spatial audio adds a whole new dimention to music, giving the listener an immersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of AirPods Pro introduced spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. This adjusts the virtual positioning of audio based on the physical positioning of your head and your iPhone or iPad. The feature is still available for films watched on iPhone or iPad with AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. Apple Music will introduce spatial audio with dynamic head tracking on more Apple devices in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/92sEs3BkPUo\">For more information on spatial audio, watch the roundtable discussion on the future of sound with Apple Music 1 presenter&nbsp;<strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Zane Lowe<\/strong>, producer &amp; Atmos ambassador <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">No I.D.<\/strong>, producer, mixer and engineer <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Sylvia Massy<\/strong>, and producer Manny Marroquin.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists and producers interest in experimenting with mixing spatial audio will find tools in Logic Pro later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Lossless audio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of streamed audio online is sent to our devices as MP3 files, or on Apple Music as AAC files. These files are usually compressed to a maximum of 320 kbps for MP3s or 256 kbps for AACs. This is generally considered to be enough for most day-to-day use on a lot of consumer grade gear, however it is far from what the artist or producer hears in the studio when playing the original uncompressed audio files on higher end gear. Lossless audio on Apple Music is streamed to your phone, tablet, computer or TV as ALAC files (Apple Lossless Audio Codec). These files are available as 16-bit\/44.1 kHz, which is CD quality and roughly translates to 1411 kbps, and goes up to 24-bit\/192 kHz for Hi-Res Lossless audio, which roughly translates to 9216 kbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>What I need to enjoy spatial audio and lossless audio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4>Subscription<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Spatial audio and lossless audio are available to all Apple Music subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Operating system<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll need an Apple device running the operating system below or later:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>iOS 14.6<\/li><li>iPadOS 14.6<\/li><li>macOS 11.4<\/li><li>tvOS 14.6<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dolby Atmos is coming soon to Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Equipment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Spatial audio<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Spatial audio is available to enjoy on many speakers and headphones such as Dolby Atmos compatible sound bars, Dolby Atmos enabled AV Receivers and TVs that support Dolby Atmos audio. Most new Apple and Beats devices also support spatial audio, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<ul><li>AirPods<\/li><li>AirPods Pro<\/li><li>AirPods Max<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<ul><li>BeatsX<\/li><li>Beats Solo3 Wireless<\/li><li>Beats Studio3<\/li><li>Powerbeats3 Wireless<\/li><li>Beats Flex<\/li><li>Powerbeats Pro<\/li><li>Beats Solo Pro<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<ul><li>Built-in speakers on:<\/li><li>iPhone XR or later (except iPhone SE)<\/li><li>iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later)<\/li><li>iPad Pro 11-inch<\/li><li>iPad (6th generation or later)<\/li><li>iPad Air (3rd generation or later)<\/li><li>iPad mini (5th generation)<\/li><li>MacBook Pro (2018 model or later)<\/li><li>MacBook Air (2018 model or later)<\/li><li>iMac (2021 model)<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Spatial audio is supported on HomePod speakers, but only when connected to an Apple TV 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Lossless audio<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>While the built-in speakers on your iPhone, iPad and Mac support lossless audio, the speakers (particularly on iPhone) are so small, the difference will be negligible. To make the most of lossless audio, you&#8217;ll want some external speakers or headphones. Unfortunately Apple and Beats headphones use Apple&#8217;s AAC Bluetooth Codec, which is not lossless. HomePod and HomePod mini also currently use AAC, but support for lossless audio on HomePods is coming in a future software update. To stream lossless music you&#8217;ll need to hook up your device to headphones, receivers or powered speakers with a wire. <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MMX62AM\/A\/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=7fa381a28180f88debee268845ead125e82aa4a3d8997fbe2471cea593b17badbff4e5a73e948106022032ca767545c0ea3afab5d0787344f2db35210b28979c7586911e4e0931ae9b0f56f27ceac987f5c05937483cce14cfc5507def57f150\">Apple&#8217;s Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter<\/a> used to connect your phone to headphones\/speakers and <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/product\/MXK22AM\/A\/lightning-to-35-mm-audio-cable-12m-white?fnode=07d3914c70974a96ea8829463058e6b16e741874e8c6b90213bca8a15d49ad7d2d4b6469fdd3f17338a36594b7f80f8caff6f330d4a0bda9cccddcd3cba5e8f463ecec346a1a26785d4f9030c0b5a021b2ecab726bbc0463b5e7ca152768d74c\">Apple&#8217;s Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable<\/a> for AirPods Max, both contain a digital-to-analogue converter that supports up to 24-bit\/48 kHz lossless audio.

The entire Apple Music catalogue will be available by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As music has been consumed in stereo for so many years, the need for mixing audio in surround sound has been largely unnecessary.
