Thanks to Sony's virtual Surround sound technology, the sound bar can position sound vertically in the space, allowing you to enjoy a three-dimensional sound experience without ceiling speakers. Along with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the Vertical Surround Engine offers more realistic and multidimensional sound in other formats as well.

Powerful speakers work together to deliver clear, wide-range sound throughout the room. Two upfiring speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters and three front speakers for Surround, and a subwoofer for thunderous bass.

Sound reflection on the side walls and extension of Surround sound, for an immersive experience that exceeds the size of your TV. Combined with S-Force PRO Front Surround, for Surround sound that goes even further.

Enjoy high-quality sound with less distortion and high clarity in vocals, from an X-Balanced Speaker Unit.

Edge-AI (artificial intelligence) and DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technologies upgrade compressed music files in real-time. They dynamically recognize the orchestration, music genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, and restore the high-range sound lost in compression, for a richer, more complete listening experience.

It takes a lot of power to accurately reproduce low bass frequencies and there is often distortion (A). With Sony's unique signal processing technology, the HT-A5000 delivers dynamically extended bass at every volume level (B).

The HT-A5000 is designed with the same omnidirectional design philosophy. The sleek rounded corners create a single piece that delivers wide-dispersing sound. The combination of materials with rich textures makes it ideal for any living room aesthetic.

The sound bar is compatible with devices with Google Assistant, with Chromecast built-in™ and with devices with Amazon Alexa. Simply add the HT-A5000 sound bar to the speaker group using the Google Home app and control music, volume, and more, just with your voice.

The HT-A5000 is ready for use almost immediately. Simply plug it in, connect your TV with the HDMI eARC plug, and power it on. With USB and optical input, as well as HDMI input and output (eARC), and S-CENTER OUT output on compatible BRAVIA models, you have all the necessary connections to enjoy an immersive Surround sound experience.

When connected to BRAVIA with Acoustic Center Sync, the soundbar and the TV become the central speaker of the home cinema. If optional rear speakers are connected to the soundbar, the TV speaker becomes the central channel and the soundbar part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping system. This way, the sound perfectly matches the content on the screen, for a truly immersive experience.

With the built-in user interface, the sound bar's audio settings automatically appear in the BRAVIA quick settings menu for easy control of the sound field, volume, and other functions.
