Hear sound from all directions with simulated 7.1.2 surround sound
Vertical Surround Engine, our latest surround technology, lets you enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® from a single slim unit. No matter what type of room you’re in, advanced DSP technology allows just two front speakers to reproduce full, cinematic sound from all around you, including from above.
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.
