4.The 0ch system "HT-A9" is equipped with the company's new surround technology "360 Spatial Sound Mapping" and is a new proposal to create a phantom speaker of up to 12 channels from four speakers.
The HT-A9 consists of four wireless speakers and a control box.The audio signal input transmitted to the control box is processed with its own 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and wirelessly transmitted to four speakers, which provides a wide sound field with a simple connection.
The control box is equipped with one HDMI input/output (8k/4K/ARC/EARC compatible) and LAN terminals, and decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.It also has a built -in Bluetooth transmission and receiving function (supported codecs are SBC, AAC, LDAC).
Wireless speakers are W160 x H313 x D147mm, weighs about 2.It can be installed on a wall with a size of 7kg.This body has a 2 -way speaker with a 70 x 82mm -type woofer and a 19mm dome -shaped tweeter, and an electronic circuit such as a 46 x 54mm full -range earbuled speaker and an amplifier.
HT-A9 is 4.0ch is the basics, but when combining with Bravian "A90J", "A80J", and "X95J" series, you can use TV speakers for the center.The center speaker output of the control box is only connected to the TV with the included audio cable, so if you have a supported TV, please use it.
The major feature of HT-A9 is that the automatic setup function is used to optimize the distance and level by simply placing the front L/R on both sides of the TV and the rear L/R on the viewing position.
As a guide in that case, 1-3 between front L/R.5m (recommended distance 2-3m), 2 between front and rear.If the distance to the ceiling is about 1 to 4m (recommended distance 3-4m) and the distance to the ceiling is about 1 to 4m, the height of the speaker may be different even if it is not symmetrical.If you use it in a living room, this flexibility is a great attraction.The installation location is specified on the bottom of each speaker, so be sure to follow it when used.
The control box and each speaker are connected by WiFi in the 5GHz band (transmission is 48kHz/24 bits), so you will not care about delays.The settings are set from the menu screen, and when the control box and the power of the speaker are turned on, it automatically identifies the location and distance to adjust the parameters.The measurement microphone is built into each speaker.
This time I had a chance to listen to the HT-A9 prototype sound.In combination with 83 -inch organic EL TV, 4.It reproduces a sufficient surround sound field even with 0ch playback.The reproduction of the three -dimensional sound field is accurate, and the Dolby Atmos trailer shows the height of the lightning, and the raindrops come down directly above.
When the organic EL TV speakers were added to the center, the lines of the movie were snuggled up to the screen, increasing the sense of unity between images and sounds.In addition, by connecting the wireless subwoofer that will be released at the same time, you can enjoy the realism and low -frequency power suitable for the 83 -inch screen.In particular, the sense of unity of the sound and the seamless reproducibility when moving were unique to the same speaker, and I was able to feel the cohesive as a product.
Recently, suggestions for surround systems using wireless speakers have appeared from each company.The HT-A9 will attract attention as a full-fledged wireless surround system with a large screen, and those who are interested in lifestyles and those who are interested in the latest technology.
