FEATURES

• Immersive surround sound from a soundbar
  The HT-A3000 3.1ch soundbar has three front speakers including a center speaker designed for clear dialogue, and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the sound comes from all around you, maximizing the effects of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
• Experience sound from above
  Thanks to Sony's virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space - so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.
• Surround made simple
  Using front speakers only, Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
• So immersive, so real
  With the HT-A3000, music comes to life. 360 Reality Audio puts you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you're listening to, for a totally immersive experience.
• Sound from advanced speakers and a subwoofer
  Powerful speakers - three front speakers for surround and a built-in dual subwoofer for rumbling bass - work together to deliver clear, wide-ranging sound throughout your room.
• X-Balanced Speaker Unit
  The built-in dual subwoofer and front speakers feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximizes the diaphragm area for more punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
• Clearer voice
  Deeper bass produces more movement from the speaker diaphragm, and because a full-range diaphragm often needs to reproduce higher frequencies simultaneously, phase modulation distortion can occur. Sony has developed unique signal processing technology to compensate for this effect, resulting in crisp, localized dialogue and vocals.
• Extended bass
  It takes a lot of power to accurately reproduce low bass frequencies and there's often a risk of distortion. To combat this, the soundbar uses Sony's unique signal processing technology to deliver dynamic extended bass, at any volume level.
• Upscale your digital music in real time
  Upscale your compressed digital music files in real time. Edge-AI (artificial intelligence) uses DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technology to dynamically recognize instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of songs - like vocals and interludes - and restores the high-end range that compression takes away. The result is a richer and more complete listening experience.
• Perfect for BRAVIA XR TVs
  Paired with BRAVIA XR TVs, the HT-A3000 brings you an immersive audio-visual experience with an excellent picture and sound quality. It's the perfect soundbar for BRAVIA XR TVs.
• Even more immersion with BRAVIA Acoustic Center Sync
  Connect the HT-A3000 to a BRAVIA XR TV with Acoustic Center Sync and both work together as your home theater system's center speaker. The sound syncs up and you get directional accuracy for the dialogue, so it's like you're right in the scene.
• Sound perfectly matches action
  With Acoustic Center Sync, you'll hear dialogue from exactly where the character is standing in the scene. Action and sound are precisely aligned so your viewing becomes much more immersive.
• Omnidirectional block design
  The HT-A3000 has been designed under a common omnidirectional block concept. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasises an affinity with any living room environment.
• Stream music from your favorite services
  Enjoy all the music you love. The HT-A3000 has built-in support for Spotify Connect and other music services via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, Chromecast built-in or Apple AirPlay 2.
• Effortless and atmospheric sound
  Simply press the Sound Field button on your remote to enjoy atmospheric sound that puts you in the center of the action. When listening to stereo music, just turn off Sound Field for pure speaker audio.
