360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment
Our revolutionary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates up to twelve phantom speakers from just four real speakers.ย
360 Spatial Sound experience, like you are in the scene
Surrounded on all sides by multiple phantom speakers within an optimised sound field, youโll hear every flap of wing and gust of wind with incredible intensity. Itโs like you and your living room are inside the movie.
Experience ultra wide 360 Spatial Sound
An ultra wide listening area fills every part of your living space. Your family and friends get the same sound experience, wherever they are in the room. The listening area is not limited to the front of the TV but encompasses a much wider space.
Versatile layout for any kind of living room
No need to rearrange your furniture or precisely position your speakers. The HT-A9 uses dual microphones in each speaker to ingeniously measure their relative height and position, allowing the system to generate twelve phantom speakers and completely encircle your room in immersive spatial sound.
Connect wirelessly
Place the control box near the TV and link up via HDMI. The four speakers connect wirelessly to the control box so thereโs no cables across your living space.
Sound Field Optimization
Activate Sound Field Optimization any time by performing Easy Setup from the home menu on the TV screen. The HT-A9 Home Theatre System intelligently measures the distance between speakers and ceiling for smart and easy set up.
Innovative speaker design
Our speakers are designed with leading-edge technologies to deliver the supreme sound quality and wide directivity required for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.ย
Up-firing speaker (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
This X-Balanced Speaker Unit reflects sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio.
Wide Directivity Woofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)
We have reduced the cavity effect of this new wide directivity X-Balanced woofer by minimising the depth of its concave shape.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximises the diaphragm area for richer bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.ย
19mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter
This 19mm Soft Dome Type Tweeter works with the woofer to reproduce clear, natural sound at mid to high frequencies.
Bevelled baffle edges
The baffle has been designed with bevelled edges to reduce sound diffraction at the sides of the speaker.

Or discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extremeโข (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.
