Versatile layout for any kind of living room
No need to rearrange your furniture or precisely position your speakers. The Sony HT-A9 uses dual microphones in each speaker to ingeniously measure their relative height and position, allowing the system to generate twelve phantom speakers and completely encircle your room in immersive spatial sound.
Connect wirelessly
Place the control box near the TV and link up via HDMI. The four speakers connect wirelessly to the control box so there are no cables across your living space.
Sound Field Optimization
Activate Sound Field Optimization any time by performing Easy Setup from the home menu on the TV screen. The Sony HT-A9 Home Theater System intelligently measures the distance between speakers and ceiling for smart and easy set up.
Innovative speaker design
Our speakers are designed with leading-edge technologies to deliver the supreme sound quality and wide directivity required for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.
Technology inside
1 – Up-firing speaker (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
2 – Soft Dome Type Tweeter
3 – Wide Directivity Woofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
4 – Dual microphones
Up-firing speaker (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
This X-Balanced Speaker Unit reflects sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio.
Wide Directivity Woofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
We have reduced the cavity effect of this new wide directivity X-Balanced woofer by minimizing the depth of its concave shape.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximizes the diaphragm area for richer bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
19-mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter
This 19-mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter works with the woofer to reproduce clear, natural sound at mid to high frequencies.
Beveled baffle edges
The baffle has been designed with beveled edges to reduce sound diffraction at the sides of the speaker.
Immerse yourself in supreme music quality
Enjoy music the way the artists truly intended with High-Resolution Audio for crystal-clear precision. Or discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience. With the Sony HT-A9 Home Theater System, your music comes to life like never before.
A = Expanded audio dynamics (Strings and whisper-quiet subtleties)
B = Restored high frequencies (Acoustic and vocal instrument realism)
Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognizing instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
