Sony HTA3000 soundbar: Cinematic 3.1 channel audio with Dolby Atmos®

The Sony HTA3000 soundbar brings cinematic sound to your home with an advanced 3.1 channel layout and support for Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®. Three front speakers, featuring a dedicated center for dialogue, work alongside the dual built-in subwoofer to provide deep, controlled bass. This model delivers virtual surround sound using Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, giving an immersive effect without extra upward-firing drivers. Full compatibility with Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping (when paired with optional rear speakers) and seamless integration with BRAVIA TVs means enhanced usability for Sony users.

Unique immersion through advanced Sony audio technology

What sets the HTA3000 apart is a combination of compact design and proprietary sound engineering. X-Balanced Speaker Units—rectangular drivers—maximize diaphragm area for powerful bass and clear sound, while Sony’s signal processing keeps dialogue sharply focused even at high volumes or during complex scenes. Sound Field Optimization uses built-in microphones to adapt audio performance to your room for a tailored listening experience.
