Auro‑3D adds immersive vertical depth to surround sound through dedicated height and top channels, delivering a natural 3D audio environment. Yamaha’s flagship AVENTAGE series (e.g., RX‑A6A, RX‑A8A) include native Auro‑3D decoding and Auro‑Matic up‑mixing via their Qualcomm QCS407 platform. Supported configurations include 9.1 (7.1+2 height) up to 11.1 channel layouts, creating a full immersive hemisphere of sound. Auro‑Matic ensures that even stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 content is intelligently transformed into a cohesive 3D soundscape. Combined with Yamaha’s YPAO room calibration, CinemaDSP HD3, and Surround:AI algorithms, Auro‑3D on Yamaha delivers breathtaking realism and spatial precision.
