Sony Middle East & Africa announced a software upgrade for the HT-A7000 and HT-A5000 soundbars, which will adds 360 Spatial Sound Mapping capabilities.

Customers can access this feature when connecting their soundbar to Sony’s new SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers, launching April 2022, or the currently available SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers.

360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology uses Sound Field Optimisation to measure the relative height and position of the soundbar and rear speakers. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology then creates multiple phantom speakers by synthesising sound waves based on positional information.

Customers can enhance the experience by pairing with a compatible BRAVIA™ XR television using the Acoustic Centre Sync feature.

Sony’s new SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers feature up-firing speakers for richer and more immersive 360 Spatial Sound as well as built-in battery power for up to 10 hours of playtime.

Features of the SA-RS5 Wireless Rear Speakers include:

  • Create immersive and clear sound
  • Long-lasting battery life
  • One touch sound calibration
  • Easily integrated speaker design
