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®.
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.
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.
So immersive. So real.
With the HT-A3000, music comes to life. 360 Reality Audio10 puts you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you’re listening to, for a totally immersive experience.
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.
Center speaker for clear dialogue
A dedicated center speaker (1) ensures that voice sounds can be clearly heard, whether it’s quick-fire dialogue in your favorite TV show or whispered lines in a movie. It’s great for music too, ensuring a richly detailed listening experience.
Built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass sound
The soundbar has a powerful built-in dual subwoofer (2) in the center – so you can enjoy deep bass sound with minimal equipment cluttering up your living space.
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 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.
Clearer voice
Deeper bass produces more movement from the speaker diaphragm, and because a full-range diaphragm often needs to reproduce higher frequencies simultaneously, phase modulation distortion can occur. Sony has developed unique signal processing technology to compensate for this effect, resulting in crisp, localized dialogue and vocals.

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).

Upscale your digital music in real time
Upscale your compressed digital music files in real time. Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) uses DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technology to dynamically recognize instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of songs—like vocals and interludes—and restores the high-end range that compression takes away. The result is a richer and more complete listening experience.

B = Restored high frequencies (acoustic and vocal instrument realism)
