Dolby and Cadillac have announced today that support for the multi-channel Dolby atmosphere Sound will be added to all US car electric vehicles since 2026.
According to the owner of Cadillac, General Motors, 2026 Cadillac Ranges set to benefit from Dolby ATH support have been confirmed after including Escalade IQL, Escalade IQ, Lyric-V, Optiq and Vistic.
There is potentially good news for Dolby Atah fans, who have just bought or ordered a Cadillac Electric 2025, as well, as General Motors has confirmed that support for Dolby’s Audio Premium format will also go out to select models 2025 through air software updates. He was unable to confirm at the time of writing, however, exactly in which 2025 series this update would be implemented.
All Cadillac 2026 EVS will support Dolby ATHIC.
The goal of Dolby Atmosphere Sound, for anyone who is not familiar with, is to truly dip the listeners in their favorite music, surrounding them with a healthy phase filled with clear, perfectly positioned, clarity and depth. You feel like you are inside the music, rather than just playing before or every side of you.
Originally developed for film soundtrack, now 93% of Billboard’s top 100 artists are releasing music in Dolby ATH. And if you are wondering where you will be able to emanate all this Dolby ATH music from for your compatible cadillac, the brand has even announced today that the Dolby ATA traces will soon be available to Electric Cadillac cars through Amazon Music-starting with comprehensive optiq and vistic models.
Modern life means that more and more of us are spending more time than ever in our cars. In fact, the High Federal Administration recently reported that drivers in the US collectively drive more than three trillion miles a year. This is a lot of hours to fill an environment where music is the only fun (except for spy’s games …) that the driver can at least enjoy for sure.
A recent study by Dolby also found that almost 90% of music broadcasting subscribers agreed that the expanded audio quality is a feature “should have”, with more than half of respondents choosing the “Agree Strong” option.
The announcement of Dolby and Cadillac today has not provided specific technical details to speakers systems that will give the new sound of Dolby atmosphere of the car, but concentration on usually heavy technological EVs for Cadillac’s new Dolby adventure, we hope to be shown.
“Innovation is at the core of the Cadillac brand, and our collaboration with Dolby marks a transformative shift in the way entertainment in the car raises driving experience,” says Cadillac engineer John Cockburn. “Together, we are bringing audio to new heights, ensuring that the musical experience remains true to the artist’s original vision, offering a sound experience that makes consumers feel like they are in the music studio with them.”
Meanwhile John Couling, the elderly VP’s VP at Dolby Laboratories, had to say this for Dolby’s latest collaboration in the car: “Whether you are listening to music to spend time on a long trip or sharing a special moment on a family road trip, the music has the power to turn extraordinary moments. Re-imagining the driving experience, ensuring that every trip is memorable no matter where you get you. “
