Sony has two sound bars with original stereophonic technology called 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

Sony has two sound bars with original stereophonic technology called 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

Sony has introduced the HT-A5000 and HT-A3000 sound bars, which are equipped with its proprietary stereophonic technology 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

"360 Spatial Sound Mapping" is a three-dimensional sound technique that combines a sound bar with dedicated rear speakers to create a large sound field and presence (sold separately). To comprehend the speakers' space, the built-in microphone automatically measures the distance between the sound bar and speakers, as well as to walls and ceilings. You can experience immersive sound by synthesizing the wavefront of sound from the sound bar and rear speakers, depending on that information. It also supports the innovative virtual surround technology "Vertical Surround Engine," and sound with a sensation of presence may be realized with a single bar speaker.

The HT-A500 is a high-end model with 5.1.2ch support. Full-range speakers have dimensions of 46 x 54 mm x 3, woofers have dimensions of 45 x 108 mm x 2, and the network supports IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless LAN as well as Bluetooth 5.0. The body measures 1,210 mm broad, 140 mm deep, and 67 mm tall and weighs 6.1 kg. it's prices a staggering 899 USD.

The HT-A3000 is a lower-end model that supports 3.1ch. Full-range speakers have dimensions of 46 x 93mm x 3, woofers have dimensions of 45 x 108mm x 2, and the network supports IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0. The body measures 950 mm wide, 128 mm deep, and 64 mm tall and weighs 4.6 kg. It's your's for 649 USD.

I thought the whole point of soundbars was to get rid of the mess of cables and need for loads of speakers?

The unit doesn't come with anything but the soundbar. The subwoofers and rear speakers are optional and work only wirelessly, according to the Amazon page. If your sound source supports suitable wireless transmission, I guess the power cable would be the only strictly necessary cable. If you don't pay extra, you won't have a "load of speakers" either. Although obviously the more speakers you have, the better the sound, so wanting the utmost simplicity is always a big compromise. Most people only use their TV's integrated speakers, after all.

I used to be really into surround sound. After spending sometime in audiophile world I found I liked a high quality two front speakers stereo better.
