Features
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 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.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The up-firing speakers, built-in subwoofer and front speaker 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.
Upscale your digital music in real time
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.
Clearer voice
The deeper the bass sound, the more the speaker diaphragm moves. This can cause an effect called phase modulation distortion when a full-range diaphragm needs to simultaneously reproduce higher frequencies. Sony’s unique signal processing technology compensates for this effect for clearer dialogue and more localized sound. The improvements in the modulated waveform enhance clarity and help prevent vocal distortion.
HTA-3000 - 360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment
With optional rear speakers added, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates a sound field optimized for your unique space enveloping you in sound from multiple phantom speakers. And with and a wide listening area, everyone gets the same sound experience.
HT-A3000 - Innovative technology for Sound Field Optimization
There's no need to precisely place the optional speakers. The soundbar with built-in microphones does it all for you, intelligently measuring the position of each speaker and optimizing sound to your room3. With Sound Field Optimization, the HT-A3000 can be calibrated to your unique room environment. Even if you move the soundbar to another room, you can use the calibration to optimize sound to the new space.
HT-A3000 - 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®.
