Hear sound from all directions with max 7.1.2 surround sound
Vertical Surround Engine, our latest surround technology, lets you enjoy the thrill of the latest theater audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in a single slim unit. No matter what type of room you're in, its three front speakers reproduce "vertical," creating virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you.
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 or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multidimensional 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. There's no need to add rear speakers, meaning you can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
