Sony today announced the HT-S400 2.1ch soundbar, bringing cinematic surround sound to any living room. The HT-S400 2.1ch soundbar delivers a powerful audio experience thanks to its S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, clear dialogue features and powerful 330W total power output. Sony HT-S400 lets users hear sound from all around thanks to high-quality Dolby Digital with Sony’s own virtual surround sound technology S-Force PRO Front Surround. It puts viewers right in the action of their favourite movies by emulating cinema-style surround sound.
By using front speakers only, Sony’s unique digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field. The front speakers include an X-Balanced Speaker Unit, which feature a unique rectangular shape that maximizes the diaphragm. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
The Separated Notch Edge on the X-Balanced Speaker Unit improves vertical amplitude symmetry, which is essential for clear sound quality. The Sony soundbar comes with a powerful wireless subwoofer with a large 160mm speaker unit to deliver a deeper, richer bass sound. This wireless subwoofer boosts the impact of everything users watch and listen to; feel the deep rumble of thunder and heavy bass beats. Connecting the HT-S400 to a Sony BRAVIA TV is quick and easy. The HT-S400 soundbar has been built to receive audio wirelessly from a BRAVIA TV for an easy, wireless connection.
The soundbar provides easy access to Voice mode for clearer dialogue and Night mode for when users want to watch TV without waking the house. The ease of use is also found through the convenient OLED display window on the soundbar, which offers at-a-glance status information on remote control functions, including input source, volume, and sound settings. The Sony HT-S400 soundbar will be available in April 2022 and will be priced at approximately £260($350).
