FEATURES

360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment with optional rear speakers from Sony[FN|Sold separately. Optional rear speakers may not be available in all countries and regions.]


Our revolutionary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology with Sony's rear speakers[FN|Sold separately. Optional rear speakers may not be available in all countries and regions.] creates multiple phantom speakers from just a soundbar and rear speakers[FN|The number of phantom speakers differs depending on rear speakers combination.]. With multiple phantom speakers[FN|The number of phantom speakers differs depending on rear speakers combination.] all around you arranged in the optimal sound field for your space, it’s a new sensation of sound. Experience all the drama of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, and hear every breath, step, and word like you’re inside the film.

Discover wide 360 Spatial Sound with optional rear speakers from Sony[FN|Sold separately. Optional rear speakers may not be available in all countries and regions.]


A wide listening area fills every part of your living space so your family and friends get the same sound experience. The listening area is not limited to the front of the TV but encompasses a much wider space.

Optimised for speaker position


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 optimising sound to your room.[FN|When connected with SA-RS5 optional rear speakers, built-in mics in the SA-RS5 are also utilised.] The soundbar lets you enjoy Sound Field Optimization with optional speakers. Activate the simple calibration process during initial setup or from the home menu.[FN|For illustration, shown in combination with SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers (sold separately).]

Immersive surround sound from a soundbar


The HT-A3000 has 3.1 channels: three front speakers, including a centre speaker for clear dialogue, plus a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, it creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®.

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.


Discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio[FN|Requires download of Sony | Music Center app. Subscription to compatible online music service and third party terms, conditions, account and fees may apply. Compatible services may not be available in certain countries/regions. Please visit www.sony.net/360RA/ to check compatibility of the application and the service.] for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience.

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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)

Get a fuller, richer sound with a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers


An optional wireless subwoofer allows a built-in dual subwoofer in the soundbar to handle bass and vocals with the optional wireless subwoofer focusing on low range sound. For even more cinematic thrills with sound directly behind you, add our optional wireless rear speakers.

SA-RS3S optional rear speakers


Total 100W of wider surround sound.

SA-RS5 optional rear speakers


Total 180W of wider surround sound with up-firing speakers.

SA-SW3 optional subwoofer


200W of sound from a compact bass reflex subwoofer with a 160mm driver.

Effortless control with BRAVIA TVs


With an integrated UI, soundbar sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu for easy control of features such as sound field and volume by the TV remote control.[FN|Integrated UI works with the following models: Z9K series, A95K series, A90K series, A80K series, A75K series, X95K series, X90K series, X90S series, X85K series, X80K series, Z9J series, A90J series, A80J series, X95J series, X90J series, X85J series, X80J series. Product availability varies by country. HDMI connection is required.] [FN|Simulated UI. The image varies by region and products.]

Sound perfectly matches action


With Acoustic Center Sync, you'll hear dialogue from exactly where the character is standing in the scene. Action and sound are precisely aligned so your viewing becomes much more immersive.

Soundbar position


If you have a BRAVIA TV with a multi-position stand, you can change the position of the TV stand and fit the HT-A3000 discreetly beneath the TV for a clean look.

Even more immersion with BRAVIA Acoustic Center Sync


When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Center Sync[FN|This feature works with compatible models. Please see https://www.sony.net/hav_faq Product availability varies by country or region.], both the soundbar and the TV become the centre speaker in your home cinema system. Furthermore, connecting the soundbar with optional wireless rear speakers[FN|Sold separately. Optional rear speakers may not be available in all countries and regions.], the TV speaker plays the centre channel role with your soundbar as part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping setup. This enables sound to precisely match what’s on the screen for clearer dialogue and a more immersive experience.

Omnidirectional Block Design


The HT-A3000 and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasises an affinity with any living room environment.
