In terms of design minimalist Omnidirectional Block design of the Sony HT-A5000 features beautiful rounded edges. The Omnidirectional Block concept is also used in the design of the HT-A3000 and optional speakers. The HDMI eARC, optical-in, and USB ports make installation of the soundbars a breeze. Both soundbars include Sound Field Optimization, which cleverly measures the relative height and position of the soundbar and rear speakers to provide an even more personalised and immersive sound experience. It then synthesises sound waves to produce several phantom speakers based on the positional information. The HT-A5000 also has S-Force PRO Front Surround, which creates a broader horizontal sound field. When connected to Sony’s wireless rear speakers SA-RS5 and SA-RS3S, the HT-A5000 and HT-A3000 provide access to Sony’s breakthrough 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology. The HT-A5000 5.1.2 channel soundbar has a dual subwoofer built in for deep bass and two up-firing speakers that reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead music. The HT-A3000 has 3.1 channels, three front speakers, one of which is dedicated to clear conversation, and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. It also has two side beam tweeters, which bounce sound off the side walls and augment surround sound to provide an immersive experience. Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker Unit is used in the up-firing speakers, built-in dual subwoofer, and front speakers. The HT-A5000 and HT-A3000 are equipped with Sony’s Vertical Surround Sound Engine technology, which allows viewers a theatre like experience at home by supporting audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The front speakers and up-firing speakers, together with Sony’s proprietary signal processing, generate “vertical” music, allowing the soundbar to position sound vertically. Now you can enjoy realistic, multi-dimensional sound without the need for in-ceiling speakers. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
