Sony Malaysia announces HT-A3000 soundbar for 2022 year end release at RM2,799
Sony Malaysia has announced the latest member in the HT class family which is the HT-A3000.
Delivering the acclaimed 360 Spatial Sound experience, it features 3.1 channels, and 3 front speakers including a dedicated center speaker and a built-in dual subwoofer to create a deep bass yet clear dialogue contrast. Adding Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, the A3000 easily covers multiple dimensions to churn out audio powered by Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.
Although it is okay to just run the HT-A3000 alone, you can enjoy more with Sony’s SA-RS5 and SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers thanks to the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology and Sound Field Optimization to smartly calculate the relative height and position of each interconnected device then generates phantom speakers by synthesizing sound waves to fill up all corners of the room.
By pairing it with a compatible BRAVIA XR TV, the Acoustic Center Sync feature will combine the soundbar and the TV to become the center speaker, mimicking a typical home cinema system. Or, if you’re in the mood for some vibes, the HT-A3000 can play out some cool audio via the 360 Reality Audio function that is available on Amazon Music HD, nugs.net, and TIDAL. Not that fancy? You play stream them from your smart gadgets via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or gain native access to popular music platforms using Chromecast, Spotify Connect, or Apple AirPlay 2. Additionally, DSEE Extreme can restore your compressed digital music files to a higher quality – interesting and intriguing.
And it is also easy to set up the HT-A3000 as well. Just connect it to your TV using HDMI eARC and turn on the power. Several supporting ports are there as well including USB, Optical In, and S-CENTER-OUT.
Pricing and Availability
The Sony HT-A3000 soundbar will be available for purchase starting December 2022 at the price of RM2,799.
On the other hand, the slightly higher-tier HT-A5000 has been confirmed as well but associating data about the release date is still unknown at this point.
