It requires just one HDMI cable from your TV to transmit audio to the speakers wirelessly, with just one power cord for each speaker and the control unit. On-board Wi-Fi connectivity powers Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect for convenient web streaming. Bluetooth is also on-board for wireless streaming from your compatible devices. It supports numerous Dolby and DTS audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and can be controlled by your compatible TV's remote control, the included remote control, or via Google Assistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e360 Spatial Sound That Adapts To Your Environment: \u003c\/strong\u003e360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates up to 12 phantom speakers from just four real speakers. Surrounded on all sides by multiple phantom speakers within an optimized sound field, you'll hear every flap of wing and gust of wind with incredible intensity. It's like you and your living room are inside the movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Layout For Any Situation: \u003c\/strong\u003eReduce clutter and enjoy a simple setup without a need for extra cables. The speakers included with the HT-A9 wirelessly connect to the control box, allowing you to place them anywhere in the room. Sound Field Optimization allows you to have the speakers at different heights and distances and will measure the position of each speaker to create the best sound for your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound Field Optimization: \u003c\/strong\u003eActivate Sound Field Optimization any time by performing Easy Setup from the home menu on the TV screen. The HT-A9 intelligently measures the distance between speakers and ceiling for smart and easy set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnect Wirelessly: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlace the control box near the TV and link up via HDMI. The four speakers connect to the control box wirelessly, so there are no cables across your living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative Speaker Design: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe speakers are designed with leading-edge technologies to deliver the supreme sound quality and wide directivity required for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-Balanced Speaker Unit: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe unique rectangular shape of the up-firing speakers and front-firing wide-directivity woofers maximizes the diaphragm area for richer bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovies \u0026amp; Games Feel Real: \u003c\/strong\u003eSupport 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImmerse Yourself In Supreme Music Quality: \u003c\/strong\u003eEnjoy 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-A9, your music comes to life like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal-Time Restoration Of All Your Compressed Files: \u003c\/strong\u003eUsing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmnidirectional Block Design: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe HT-A9 is designed using the Omnidirectional Block concept. The cylindrical shape represents a single solid block providing 360 spatial sound. It fits perfectly against the wall with a flat rear surface. The light pearl grey colour blends well with walls, shelves, and other interior elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy Movies Like Never Before With 360 Spatial Sound: \u003c\/strong\u003eA clever algorithm adds overhead, all-encompassing sound to conventional surround soundtracks and even stereo audio, converting everything you listen to (via HDMI) into immersive 360 Spatial Sound experiences. Just press the Immersive AE button on the remote to activate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoice Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eConnect to your home's other devices with the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa (via a future planned firmware update).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet Up In Seconds: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe HT-A9 is almost ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug it in, connect to your TV using HDMI, and power it on. With LAN, HDMI in, and HDMI out (eARC), you're all set to enjoy a new spatial surround sound experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Listening: \u003c\/strong\u003eIt's never been easier to listen to your favourite tracks. The HT-A9 supports audio streaming via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEven More Immersion With Acoustic Centre Sync: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen paired with a BRAVIA TV, the HT-A9 brings you the ultimate immersive audio-visual experience. When connected with the supplied cable to a BRAVIA TV, the TV's speaker plays the centre channel role in your home theatre system and part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping setup. This enables sound to precisely match what's on the screen for a truly immersive experience. With Acoustic Centre 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffortless Control With BRAVIA TVs: \u003c\/strong\u003eEverything links up perfectly when connected to the new range of BRAVIA XR TVs. Control sound settings and volume using only the TV remote and easily check the status of the audio system while watching your favourite programs. With an integrated user interface, home theatre system settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA TVs Quick Setting menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoost The Bass With An Optional Subwoofer: \u003c\/strong\u003eAdding an optional subwoofer to your system to handle low frequencies allows the system to reproduce sounds with greater impact and power than before. Two models are available, the \u003ca href=\"\/sony-sa-sw3-wireless-subwoofer.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSA-SW3\u003c\/a\u003e and the larger \u003ca href=\"\/sony-sa-sw5-wireless-subwoofer.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSA-SW5\u003c\/a\u003e, designed to bring out deeper bass, more voice clarity and extra fidelity in everything you listen to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSony HT-A9 Wireless Home Theatre System Reviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Performance that rivals separates. Unlike other virtualisation techniques that sound artificial and far from convincing, the HT-A9 actually delivers on the promise. It really does sound like you have 12 physical speakers carefully positioned throughout the listening space with objects smoothly panning around and above you. The fantastic soundstage performance is akin to a well-tuned 7.1.4 system and blows away traditional soundbars which typically sound front heavy and boxed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI compared the HT-A9 with my daily driver, the Samsung Q950A soundbar, which is equipped with rear wireless speakers. It was no match for the HT-A9's incredibly wide and immersive soundstage. I then compared the HT-A9 with a family member's Sonos Arc, and again, the HT-A9's ability to turn the living room into a cinema was more convincing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI set up the HT-A9 in my media room to test the performance with my dedicated 7.1.4 system. This consists of a pair of Klipsch tower speakers for the fronts and mounted bookshelf speakers for the rear, and surround speakers as well as four in-ceiling units. While running the HT-A9 in an enclosed smaller room wasn't quite as impressive as in my open living room space, I was amazed at how close it matched the room-filling output of my larger and more expensive dedicated system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overhead audio effect wasn't as defined as my four in-ceiling speakers, but the HT-A9 still did an outstanding job in delivering an immersive spatial audio experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout a physical centre speaker, Sony relies on its phantom speaker tech to deliver dialogue and, once again, it sounded clear and intelligible throughout. In many ways the centre fill sounded better, as it was less directional and more dispersed than what you would normally get with a dedicated centre channel.\" \u003cstrong\u003eGadget Guy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Sony's HT-A9 speaker system offers immersive home cinema sound without pretension, successfully combining the ease and streaming features of a soundbar with the consistency and immersion of a traditional surround package. This is an accessible and generous set-up for people who want to add entertaining audio to their living room without being precious and would well suit those with large families or who live in awkward spaces. It is incredibly forgiving in its placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are, of course, limitations as to what it can deliver, and despite the tonal range, precision and expansiveness of the HT-A9 out-shining almost all comparatively priced soundbars, the system doesn't quite have the same fidelity and transparency we would expect from a traditional speaker package. That's probably to be expected, though, and Sony's HT-A9 home cinema system fills a void in the market in very fine style.\" \u003cstrong\u003eWhat Hi-Fi?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Take On The Sony HT-A9 Wireless Home Theatre System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first saw this system we weren't sure about it. But once we heard it up and running, all doubts about its abilities faded from our minds. This is an absolutely cracking system, not only for the money, but also in terms of domestic harmony. Serious home theatre normally takes serious money, a big AV Receiver and a whole bunch of big speakers to bring to reality. The HT-A9 gives you a large slice of that performance with just a small control box and four relatively small speakers, along with an optional subwoofer if required. The enormous sound field this modest system creates completely belies what you are looking at and how much you have to pay for it. An absolute bargain, and we reckon, pretty good looking to boot. Buy with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Wireless Home Theatre System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e360 Spatial Sound Mapping for a whole new surround experience with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible layout with wireless connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Res Audio capable X-Balanced speaker units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive Audio Enhancement converts regular audio to near 7.1.4 Channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivid visuals and fast paced game play with 8K and 4K\/120 pass through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStream your way with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomize your setup with two subwoofer choices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs with Sony BRAVIA TV for easy access to home theatre system controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl content with your voice using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa (Devices sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium audio made easy with onscreen user interface for sound adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Mode, Voice Mode, and Immersive Audio Enhancement sound effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth Receiver and Transmitter built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Type: Digital Amplifier, S-Master HX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Channels: 12ch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Output (Total): 504W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput \u0026amp;
