    Experience sound from above

    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 or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.

    Built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass sound

    Built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass sound

    The soundbar has a powerful built-in dual subwoofer in the centre – so you can enjoy deep bass sound with minimal equipment cluttering up your living space.

    Centre speaker for clear dialogue

    Centre speaker for clear dialogue

    A dedicated centre speaker ensures that voice sounds can be clearly heard, whether it’s quick-fire dialogue in your favourite TV show or whispered lines in a movie. It’s great for music too, ensuring a richly detailed listening experience.

    Sound from advanced speakers and a subwoofer

    Sound from advanced speakers and a subwoofer

    Powerful speakers – three front speakers for surround and a built-in dual subwoofer for rumbling bass – work together to deliver clear, wide-ranging sound throughout your room.

    Extended bass 

    Extended bass 

    It takes a lot of power to accurately reproduce low bass frequencies and there’s often a risk of distortion (A). To combat this, the soundbar uses Sony’s unique signal processing technology to deliver dynamic extended bass, at any volume level (B). This graph is for illustration purposes. 1. Level 2. Low 3. High 4. Frequency

    Clearer voice

    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 localised sound. The improvements in the modulated waveform enhance clarity and help prevent vocal distortion. This graph is for illustration purposes. 1. Voice waveform 2. Bass waveform 3. Modulated waveform

    X-Balanced Speaker Unit

    X-Balanced Speaker Unit

    The built-in dual subwoofer and front speakers feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximises the diaphragm area for more punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.

    SA-SW5 optional subwoofer

    SA-SW5 optional subwoofer

    300W of deep, rich bass from a 180mm driver with passive radiator.

    Upscale your digital music in real time

    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 recognising 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. A = Expanded audio dynamics (strings and whisper-quiet subtleties) B = Restored high frequencies (acoustic and vocal instrument realism)
