Sony announces the HT-A3000 Soundbar, which works in tandem with optional back speakers to provide an immersive 360 Spatial Sound experience

Sony today announced the HT-A3000 soundbar, delivering an acclaimed 360 Spatial Sound experience ideal for a wide range of customers, that puts you at the heart of your favorite movies and music. Sony also confirms the availability of its highly anticipated HT-A5000 soundbar.

Surround sound at your fingertips 

The HT-A3000 features 3.1 channels and three front speakers including a dedicated center speaker for clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. Coupled with Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, the A3000 creates virtual surround sound that comes from multiple dimensions so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.

360 Spatial Sound Mapping

The A3000 gives you access to Sony’s revolutionary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology when connected to Sony’s wireless rear speakers SA-RS5 and SA-RS3S.

With 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, you can feel sound from every direction and distance. Sound Field Optimization uses built-in microphones to ingeniously measure the relative height and position of the soundbar and rear speakers. Based on positional information, it then creates multiple phantom speakers by synthesizing sound waves. Thanks to this technology, Sony’s wide spatial sound field fills every part of the room, immersing everyone present.
