Sony introduced the HT-A5000, the newest addition to their premium soundbar lineup. This 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos design lets users enjoy the thrill of the cinema in the comfort of their homes thanks to Sony's celebrated audio technologies, including Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO.
The A5000 supports audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and includes a powerful Vertical Surround Engine, Sony's advanced surround sound technology that lets users experience the excitement of the big screen at home. The front speakers and up-firing speakers, combined with Sony's unique signal processing, reproduce vertical audio, meaning the A5000 soundbar can position sound in a vertical space.
The soundbar also features S-Force PRO Front Surround, to make an even wider horizontal soundscape. It uses the front X-Balanced Speaker Unit and Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology to virtually reproduce a large and immersive sound field horizontally.
To enjoy a more personalized sound experience, the A5000 comes with Sound Field Optimization. Built-in microphones measure the height and width of the room, as well as the position of the optional subwoofer and rear speakers, and optimizes the sound perfectly to the room layout. The soundbar comes with a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass and two up-firing speakers that reflect sound off the ceiling for overhead audio.
The A5000 features DSEE Extreme, which uses Edge-AI to upscale compressed digital files in real time and restore the high-range sound that is lost during compression for a richer, more complete listening experience. It also supports 360 Reality Audio, Spotify Connect, Chromecast, Apple Airplay 2, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The system is capable of all the latest formats such as 8K HDR, 4K120 fps and Dolby Vision.
Paired with compatible Bravia TVs, the A5000 uses Acoustic Center Sync, so the TV becomes the center speaker, meaning action and sound are precisely aligned so the viewing experience becomes even more realistic.
