Sony HTA9000 7.0.2 Dolby Atmos® Soundbar

Sony HT-A9000 BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 – 13.0ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar
Experience truly immersive home cinema sound with the Sony HT-A9000 BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9. Designed to bring cinematic audio into your living room, this premium Dolby Atmos soundbar combines advanced Sony audio technology, intelligent sound processing and powerful multi-speaker performance to create an expansive, three-dimensional listening experience.

Whether you're watching blockbuster films, streaming your favourite television series, gaming or enjoying music, the HT-A9000 delivers exceptional clarity, depth and detail. Its sophisticated 13-speaker configuration creates an immersive soundstage that places you closer to the action, while advanced surround processing helps fill your room with rich, dynamic audio.

With support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the Sony HT-A9000 brings compatible entertainment to life with multidimensional sound, allowing you to experience audio from around and above your listening position. Finished in a stylish, contemporary design, this premium soundbar is an impressive addition to any home entertainment setup.

360 Spatial Sound Mapping for a cinema-like experience
At the heart of the HT-A9000 is Sony's innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates an expansive surround sound environment using advanced digital processing. By analysing your room and the position of the soundbar, it generates phantom speakers around you, helping reproduce the effect of a much larger multi-speaker home cinema system.

This technology creates a more enveloping soundstage, making audio feel as though it is coming from different directions rather than simply from the television. Whether it's atmospheric background sounds, overhead effects or movement across the screen, you'll enjoy a more realistic and engaging listening experience without initially needing additional rear speakers.

13 speaker units with an advanced 7.0.2 channel configuration
The Sony HT-A9000 features an impressive 13 individual speaker units arranged in a 7.0.2 channel configuration. This sophisticated layout combines multiple front-firing speakers with dedicated up-firing drivers to create a broad, detailed soundstage.

The two up-firing speakers help reproduce overhead audio effects, adding a greater sense of height and realism to Dolby Atmos content. Combined with the soundbar's advanced surround processing, the result is immersive audio that brings greater depth and dimension to films, television and gaming.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced
Enjoy premium cinematic audio with support for some of the most advanced surround sound formats available. The HT-A9000 supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced, allowing compatible content to deliver detailed, multidimensional sound.

Dolby Atmos places individual sound elements within a three-dimensional audio environment, while DTS:X provides flexible object-based surround sound. IMAX Enhanced certification and playback support are also available when paired with compatible optional Sony subwoofer and rear speaker combinations.

From dramatic movie soundtracks to subtle atmospheric effects, these technologies help recreate the impact and detail intended by filmmakers.

Sound Field Optimisation for your room
Every living room has different acoustics, furniture arrangements and listening positions. Sony's Sound Field Optimisation technology automatically analyses your surroundings and adjusts the soundbar's audio output to suit your environment.

Using built-in microphones, the system measures the acoustic characteristics of your room to help optimise speaker performance and create a more balanced listening experience. This makes it easier to enjoy immersive surround sound without spending time manually configuring complicated speaker settings.

Clearer dialogue with Voice Mode and Acoustic Centre Sync
Enjoy clearer conversations and greater vocal detail with Sony's Voice Mode, which helps make dialogue easier to hear without unnecessarily increasing the overall volume.

When connected to a compatible Sony BRAVIA television, Acoustic Centre Sync allows the TV's speakers to work alongside the soundbar as the centre speaker. This helps position dialogue more accurately on the screen, making conversations feel more natural and connected to the on-screen action.

You can also take advantage of Voice Zoom 3 with compatible BRAVIA televisions, using AI-based voice processing to adjust dialogue volume independently for improved clarity.

Upgrade your system with optional wireless subwoofers and rear speakers

The Sony HT-A9000 is designed to work as a premium standalone soundbar, but you can expand your home cinema setup as your requirements change.

Add a compatible Sony wireless subwoofer, such as the SA-SW3 or SA-SW5, to introduce deeper, more powerful bass that brings extra impact to action films, music and gaming. For an even more immersive surround sound experience, compatible SA-RS3S or SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers can add dedicated audio behind your listening position.

You can also use two compatible Sony subwoofers together for enhanced low-frequency performance.

This flexible upgrade system allows you to start with the soundbar and build a more complete Sony home cinema system over time.

DSEE Ultimate and High-Resolution Audio
Not all music and entertainment is recorded in high resolution. Sony's DSEE Ultimate technology uses intelligent processing to enhance compressed digital audio, helping restore detail and richness for a more natural listening experience.

The HT-A9000 also supports High-Resolution Audio, allowing you to enjoy compatible music with impressive detail and clarity. Whether you're streaming your favourite playlists or listening to high-quality audio recordings, it delivers an excellent alternative to your television's built-in speakers.

Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect
The Sony HT-A9000 offers extensive wireless connectivity, making it much more than a dedicated television sound system.

With built-in Bluetooth 5.2, you can stream music directly from compatible smartphones, tablets and other devices. Support for LDAC also allows compatible devices to transmit higher-quality Bluetooth audio.

Wi-Fi connectivity adds further flexibility, with Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect allowing you to stream music directly from compatible services and devices. Enjoy your favourite playlists, podcasts and music without needing to switch on your television.

HDMI eARC and advanced 4K connectivity
Designed to complement modern televisions and entertainment systems, the HT-A9000 features HDMI eARC for high-quality audio transmission from compatible TVs.

It supports advanced video passthrough features including Dolby Vision, HDR, HLG and 4K/60Hz, alongside gaming technologies such as Auto Low Latency Mode and Variable Refresh Rate. This helps maintain compatibility with modern gaming consoles and 4K entertainment devices.

BRAVIA Sync also allows convenient control when paired with a compatible Sony television, helping create a more integrated home entertainment setup.

Simple control with the Sony BRAVIA Connect app
Take control of your listening experience with the Sony BRAVIA Connect smartphone app. Designed to make setup and everyday operation straightforward, the app allows you to adjust sound settings, manage connected devices and customise your soundbar from your compatible smartphone.

You can fine-tune your listening experience without having to navigate complicated menus, making it easier to get the best performance from your home cinema system.
