Sony Electronics' New Dolby Atmos/DTS:X HT-A5000 Soundbar Takes Movie Entertainment to New Heights
"We are committed to creating the best sound experience possible for our customers, no matter their home setup," said Tyler Ishida, Deputy President for Consumer Business Group, Sony Electronics Inc. "With impressive optimization capabilities, the A5000 offers an immersive soundscape that's suited for any room."
Powerful Surround Sound
The A5000 supports audio formats like Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® and includes a powerful Vertical Surround Engine, Sony's advanced surround sound technology that lets users experience the excitement of the big screen at home. The front speakers and up-firing speakers, combined with Sony's unique signal processing, reproduce "vertical" audio, meaning the A5000 soundbar can position sound in a vertical space.
The soundbar also features S-Force PRO Front Surround, to make an even wider horizontal soundscape. It uses the front X-Balanced Speaker Unit and Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology to virtually reproduce a large and immersive sound field horizontally.
Perfectly Optimized for Any Room
To enjoy a more personalized sound experience, the A5000 comes with Sound Field Optimization. Built-in microphones intelligently measure the height and width of the room, as well as the position of the optional subwoofer and rear speakers, and optimizes the sound perfectly to the room layout. Users can enjoy Sound Field Optimization with or without optional speakers – simply activate the calibration process during initial set up or from the home menu.
Sophisticated Technologies for High-quality Sound
Powerful speakers in the A5000 work together to deliver clear, wide-ranging sound with less distortion. The soundbar comes with a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass and two up-firing speakers that reflect sound off the ceiling for overhead audio. The A5000 also features two beam tweeters that bounce sound off the side walls and expand surround sound to give users an immersive experience that goes beyond the size of their TV.
The up-firing speakers, built-in dual subwoofer, and front speakers feature Sony's unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape maximizes the area of the speaker diaphragm and increases the sound pressure for punchier bass and greater vocal clarity.
The A5000 also features DSEE ExtremeTM, which uses Edge-AI to upscale compressed digital files in real time and restore the high-range sound that is lost during compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
Experience Music Like the Artist Intended
The A5000 is great for music lovers. Listeners can enjoy music the way the artists truly intended with High-Resolution Audio, or can discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio1, an immersive music experience that feels as real as a live concert. Users can experience 360 Reality Audio on Amazon Music HD, Deezer, nugs.net and TIDAL.
The soundbar works with Spotify Connect™, Chromecast, Apple Airplay 2, Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi, so users can stream favorite music with just a tap of a button.
Enjoy Immersive Entertainment
The A5000 creates vivid scenes full of real-life color and depth. All of the original picture quality is preserved when played through the A5000, so users can be completely immersed in movies. Gaming and movies are much more thrilling and realistic, as the A5000 supports all the latest formats such as 8K HDR, 4K120 fps and Dolby Vision®.2
Even Deeper Bass and Surround Sound with Optional Speakers
Adding an optional subwoofer to the system that handles low frequencies allows the system to reproduce sound with greater impact and power than before. Two models are available, designed to bring out deeper bass, more vocal clarity, and extra fidelity in all types of audio content. The SA-SW5 features 300W3 of deep, rich bass from a 180mm driver with passive radiator. The SA-SW3 features 200W4 of sound from a compact bass reflex subwoofer with a 160mm driver. For even more cinematic thrills, add the SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers with 100W5 of wider surround sound and wall mount capability.
Perfect with Sony TVs
Paired with compatible BRAVIA™ TVs, the A5000 brings an immersive audio-visual experience with Sony's best picture and sound quality. With Acoustic Center Sync,6 the TV becomes the center speaker, meaning action and sound are precisely aligned so the viewing experience becomes even more realistic.
Everything links up perfectly when connected to the new range of BRAVIA TVs. With Integrated UI,7 the soundbar settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu.
Easy to Use with a Premium Look and Feel
The A5000 has a premium minimalist Omnidirectional Block design with sophisticated rounded edges and connects wirelessly to a TV, making it the perfect addition to the living room. Setting it up couldn't be easier thanks to HDMI eARC, Optical-in and USB ports. The A5000 also works with favorite voice assistants such as Google Assistant8and Amazon Alexa9. Just add the soundbar to a speaker group using the Google Home app and speak to the Google Assistant device – whether it be to start playing music, change the volume or utilize its many other functions.
