<\/p>\nThe Sony HT-A5000 soundbar seems to be the cheapest speaker system to support Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and HDMI 2.1 at the same time. A 5.1.2-channel audio system with built-in subwoofer is expected to cost around 900 euros. In the following Sony HT-A5000 5.1.2 review, we will look at the main benefits and new built-in technologies of this sound system.<\/p>\n
Soundbars with full\u00a0HDMI 2.1\u00a0(\u00a040\/48\u00a0Gbps)\u00a0connections\u00a0are still rare.\u00a0As for the new addition Sony HT-A5000, at the time of 2021 we only know four models with HDMI 2.1.\u00a0Three of the four soundbars are made by Sony.<\/p>\n
Thus, the Japanese electronics manufacturer is becoming a true innovator in this segment of entertainment.\u00a0The Sony HT-A5000 Soundbar is a complete 5.1.2-channel system with a built-in subwoofer, optimized for\u00a0DTS: X\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a03D\u00a0sound reproduction\u00a0.<\/p>\n
The Vertical Surround Engine signal processing technology supports audio formats such as DTS: X and Dolby Atmos.\u00a0To envelop the user in spatial sound, the system combines the sound reproduction of the front speakers and two upward-firing speakers.\u00a0Viewers perceive audio elements through a ceiling reflection from above.\u00a0Therefore, there is no need to install additional speakers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
S-Force Pro Front Surround technology takes care of a horizontal sound field and tries to give the viewer a wide and lively sound.\u00a0Despite its size, the HT-A5000 soundbar looks rather compact.\u00a0Above all, the low headroom and the built-in subwoofer make this an optimal solution.<\/p>\n
However, for these two technologies to work, the soundbar must somehow know how high, wide, and deep the room is.\u00a0This is achieved by optimizing the sound field.<\/p>\n
The system provides access to the microphones built into the soundbar and even lets you adjust the position of an optional subwoofer and \/ or rear speakers that are not included.\u00a0Calibration can be started from the main menu immediately during initial setup or later.<\/p>\n
Sony’s HT-A5000 soundbar is particularly interesting for its versatile approach.\u00a0The device measures 1210 x 67 x 140 mm.\u00a0With such a low height, this unit can be placed under almost any TV.\u00a0In this case, the panel will not overlap the borders of the image.<\/p>\n
Product weight is 6.1.\u00a0This is not so little.\u00a0However, it should be borne in mind that the soundbar is equipped with all sorts of technical components.\u00a0The cabinet has room for a dual subwoofer to deliver deep bass.\u00a0There are also two upward facing speakers for height information, two side tweeters and three front speakers.<\/p>\n
All loudspeakers have a maximized X-Balanced diaphragm.\u00a0The output power of the system is 450 watts.\u00a0This value can be increased by additionally purchased rear speakers and a subwoofer.<\/p>\n
Many have known for a long time that a large number of speakers and overall performance alone do not produce good, high-quality sound.\u00a0Naturally, the Sony HT-A5000 soundbar is equipped with multiple signal processing technologies to provide the listener with clear dialogue and deep dynamic bass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Music lovers can look forward to the DSEE Extreme feature.\u00a0Its algorithm, based on artificial intelligence technology, analyzes pieces of music in real time and recovers high-frequency ranges that are lost when digital music files are compressed.\u00a0While we’re on the subject of music, it’s worth adding that High-Resolution Audio support and Sony 360 Reality Audio mode via Amazon Music HD are also supported.<\/p>\n
When it comes to connections with other devices, the Sony HT-A5000 soundbar is equipped with almost all the latest technologies.\u00a0Music and other audio signals can more than conveniently be streamed to the HT-A5000 soundbar via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, built-in Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2.<\/p>\n
The physical connections are available as optical digital audio output, USB Type A (for high-definition audio files), and two HDMI 2.1 (in \/ out) connections with an enhanced audio return channel –\u00a0eARC\u00a0.\u00a0Thus, it is possible to transmit 8K \/ 60 Hz and 4K \/ 120 Hz video signals, including HLG, HDR or Dolby Vision.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Sony HT-A5000 acoustic panel can also be supplemented with wireless subwoofers or a set of rear speakers.\u00a0The SA-SW3 subwoofer with 6-inch speaker and 200W power adds bass.<\/p>\n
If this is not enough, then the device can be supplemented with a SA-SW5 subwoofer with a 6-inch speaker and a power of 300 watts.\u00a0You can expand the capabilities of the soundbar to 7.1.2 with a set of rear speakers SA-RS3S, which can also be connected wirelessly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Price HT-A5000<\/strong> In addition, the starting price has not yet been precisely determined.\u00a0However, the company announced that the model under review will cost around $1000. It remains to wait for the release, and then compare this price with soundbars that have similar characteristics.<\/p>\n To conclude our preview of Sony’s HT-A5000, let’s look at the options for expanding the system and how much these improvements will approximately cost the end user. As we already understood, the soundbar itself will cost about $900.<\/p>\n You can add bass to the maximum (300 W) through the Sony SA-SW5, which costs about $700. If we consider that the Sony A5000 already has an internal subwoofer, then you can get by with the Sony SA-SW3 (200 W) model, which costs $400.<\/p>\n However, a more rational investment would be to purchase additional rear speakers, since any acoustic panel cannot really provide a good rear. This is especially true in large rooms. An additional set of rear speakers Sony SA-RS3S will cost the end user about $350.<\/p>\n [ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Sony HT-A5000 soundbar seems to be the cheapest speaker system to support Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and HDMI 2.1 at the same time.
