I am quite interested in the technical details of how surround sound formats (e.g., Dolby Atmos, Dolby 5.1/7.1, DTS) are played on one or two HomePods (2018, the big one). Is it just down-mixing to 2.0 or 1.0 with DSP, or the seven tweeters in each HomePod is doing something clever, such as some sort of "beam forming"? I have searched this online extensively but there is almost no information. Any insights will be much appreciated.
By the way, I have tested a stereo pair of HomePods connected to the latest Apple TV 4K using a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 test tone. All channels were audible. So certainly no channel was omitted.
