Why this patent rocks: This patent appears to relate to Devialet SA’s ‘Dione’ soundbar. According to Devialet SA, the soundbar uses “seventeen autonomous high-end drivers, all powered by proprietary Devialet technologies” that serve up 950W of sound across a 5.1.2 channel configuration with full Dolby Atmos support.
