FEATURES

Supreme surround sound from our flagship soundbar


The HT-A7000 has 7.1.2 channels, two up-firing speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters and five front speakers for wider surround and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®.

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 speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.

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.

Sophisticated speaker technology


Sit back and enjoy room-filling acoustics with two up-firing speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters and five front speakers for wider surround, plus a subwoofer for deep bass.

Up-firing speakers


Reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. Combines with Vertical Surround Engine to give you an even more atmospheric overhead sound experience.

Beam tweeters


Bounce sound off the side walls and expand surround sound to give you an immersive experience that goes beyond the size of your TV. Combines with S-Force PRO Front Surround for even wider surround sound.

Built-in dual subwoofer


Delivers high sound pressure for clear, deep bass. This has been achieved by expanding the area of the diaphragm and the size of the subwoofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit).

Front speakers


Provide high quality sound with less distortion and high vocal clarity from an X-Balanced Speaker Unit.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit


The up-firing speakers, built-in subwoofer and front speaker 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.

Immerse yourself in supreme music quality


Enjoy 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[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.][FN|The user needs to update the firmware to more than Ver1.1], for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience. With the HT-A7000, your music comes to life like never before.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files


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.

Movies and games feel so real


See vivid scenes full of real life colour and depth. All of the original picture quality is preserved when played through the HT-A7000 soundbar so you’ll be completely immersed in movies. Gaming is also much more thrilling and realistic, with support for the latest formats, such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1[FN|Firmware update is required. Now Available.]

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-SW5 optional subwoofer


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

SA-SW3 optional subwoofer


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

SA-RS3S optional rear speakers


Total 100W of wider surround sound with wall mount capability.

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 or without 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).]

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.] [FN|Both HDMI cable and TV centre speaker mode cable are required.] both the soundbar and the TV become the centre speaker in your home cinema system.

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[FN|A firmware update is required. Now Available.] setup. This enables sound to precisely match what's on the screen for a truly immersive experience.

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.

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.[FN|Integrated UI works with the following models: Z9J series, A90J series, A80J series, X95J series, X90J series, X85J series, X80J series, Z9K series, A95K series, A90K series, A80K series, A75K series, X95K series, X90K series, X90S series, X85K series, X80K series . Product availability varies by country. Simulated UI. The image varies by region and products.][FN|Simulated UI. The image varies by region and products.]

Soundbar position


If you have a BRAVIA with a multi-position stand, you can change the position of the TV stand and fit the HT-A7000 discreetly beneath the TV for a clean look.

Omnidirectional Block Design


The HT-A7000 and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of HT-A7000 is a perfect match for the optional speakers. 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.
