SAN FRANCISCO AND NEWARK, March 23, 2023 – Today, Dolby Laboratories, a
leader in immersive entertainment, and Audible, a leading creator and provider of
premium audio storytelling, announced the launch of Dolby Atmos on Audible, a
collection of immersive, cinematic listening experiences in pioneering spatial sound. The
Dolby Atmos collection celebrates and expands the possibilities of audio storytelling by
highlighting the extraordinary talents of a variety of actors, writers, directors, sound
designers, and other creators across multiple genres, including feature-length multi-cast
productions, soundscapes, live performances, and podcasts.
The launch collection includes more than 40 of the service’s most popular Audible
Originals, available for the first time in spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. The offering also
includes new titles like The Little Mermaid, a brand-new, highly immersive original
featuring a magical underwater soundscape and original music; and the Audible Theater
production Marrow, part of the company’s Emerging Playwright Commission program,
which is designed to elevate emerging theatrical voices while radically increasing

all Audible members globally to stream and download through the Audible app on
compatible iOS and Android Dolby Atmos-enabled mobile devices.
Dolby Atmos empowers creators and storytellers to push the boundaries of audio-only
narratives through the ability to place sounds in a multidimensional space. Through the
ability to create more layers of sound and control over the directionality of different
audio elements, creators can draw listeners into a deeper, richer, and more lifelike
spatial sound experience that fully engrosses them in each story.
“Our commitment to delivering the best possible experiences to our customers—and to
the creators we work with—is central to everything we do at Audible,” said Rachel
Ghiazza, EVP and Head of US Content at Audible. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with
Dolby to deliver world-class, Dolby Atmos immersive storytelling to our members, and to
give creators another powerful tool to create extraordinary audio content with Audible.”
“Dolby Atmos is an innovative audio experience that is empowering creators to
showcase their artistic vision at its greatest potential,” said John Couling, Senior Vice
President, Entertainment, Dolby Laboratories. “Sound placement can now be used as a
new element to draw audiences even closer to their favorite podcasts, audio narratives, and stories with Dolby Atmos. By partnering with Audible, we are bringing incredible
immersive sound to one of the world’s leading services and catalogs for audio
storytelling.”
