Supreme Virtual Surround Sound
The HT-A7000 has a total of 7.1.2 virtual channels: two up-firing drivers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters, five front drivers for wider virtual surround sound, and two built-in woofers for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, the HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
Experience Sound from Above with Vertical Surround Engine Technology
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 with S-Force PRO Front Surround
Using only the front drivers, this 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.
Sophisticated Speaker Technology
Sit back and enjoy room-filling acoustics with two up-firing drivers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters, and five front drivers for wider virtual surround sound, plus two woofers for deep bass.
- Up-firing drivers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. They combine with Vertical Surround Engine technology to give you an even more atmospheric overhead sound experience.
- Beam tweeters bounce sound off the side walls and expand virtual surround sound to give you an immersive experience that goes beyond the size of your TV. They combine with S-Force PRO Front Surround technology for even wider surround sound.
- The built-in woofer delivers high sound pressure for clear, deep bass. This has been achieved by expanding the area of the diaphragm and the size of the subwoofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit).
- The front drivers provide high quality sound with less distortion and high vocal clarity from an X-Balanced Speaker Unit.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The up-firing drivers, woofer, and front drivers 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.
Movies and Games Feel Real
Support for 8K UHD, 4K/120 pass-through, and Dolby Vision brings vivid visuals and quality sound to shows, movies, and fast paced video game play.
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 HT-A7000, your music comes to life like never before.
Real-Time Restoration of All Your Compressed Files with DSEE Extreme
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.
Sound Field Optimization
The HT-A7000 with built-in microphones intelligently measures the position of each speaker, vertically and horizontally, and optimizes sound to your room. The HT-A7000 lets you enjoy Sound Field Optimization with or without optional speakers. Activate this feature from initial settings or the home menu.
