”A Swiss-army knife of a soundbar that really does it all.” ’Digital Trends’ – Recommended Product.
Stylish soundbar with high quality sound
The Sony HT-A3000 is top brand soundbar with quality audio, features and style to leave its rivals standing. Containing a 3.1 channel speaker system, with built-in subwoofer, you get spacious, dynamic sound, straight out of the box. What’s more, optional rear and sub speakers offer next level surround sound when you’re ready to make the move. Unsurpassed streaming music options and timeless style combine to make this a class all-rounder.
S-Force PRO Front Surround and Vertical Surround Engine for enveloping sound
Using front speakers alone, Sony’s S-Force PRO Front Surround utilises sophisticated digital processing to recreate a surround sound effect. Working in conjunction with this, Vertical Surround Engine pushes the sound upwards, creating a 3D soundfield that optimises Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks.
Clear vocals
With its dedicated centre speaker unit and Sony’s unique signal processing technology, the HT-A3000 reduces vocal distortion and delivers crisp and clean dialogue that’s easy to hear above the soundtrack and background noise. Dialogue that once sounded mumbled and hard to hear is transformed into intelligible speech. For greater clarity still, connect to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Centre Sync (cable supplied) and use the TV’s speakers for vocal enhancement.
Optional wireless surround speakers
For an even more immersive sound, add the optional SA-RS3S or SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers. These further enhance the impression of wrap-around sound, with the two-way speakers firmly pinpointing the special effects all around you, especially when used in conjunction with Sony’s revolutionary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.
Unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping Technology, with phantom speakers*
Working in conjunction with optional Sony rear speakers, 360 Sound Mapping produces heightened surround sound effects. Using Sony’s unique signal processing skills, 360 Sound Mapping creates multiple phantom speakers. This gives the impression of more of the sound coming from above and behind you, enveloping you yet further in the action.
*Requires optional Sony SA-RS3S or SA-RS5S rear speakers.
Take the next step, with an optional subwoofer
Although the HT-A3000 features subwoofers built-in, for bass that you can really feel, you can upgrade with the optional SA-SW3 or SA-SW5 sub. These take the bass to completely new level, introducing rumble and thunder to the soundtrack, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Wireless connectivity cuts the clutter.
X-Balanced speakers for optimised sound
Sony’s X-Balanced speaker units differ from regular speakers in their unique, rectangular shape. This shape maximises the cone area, giving more punch per cm2. The design also reduces driver excursion, meaning you get less distortion and greater vocal clarity. Whether you’re playing music or movies, X-Balanced speakers deliver more.
DSEE enhancement and 360 Reality Audio
DSEE Digital Sound Enhancement Engine upscales your existing music to near Hi-Res quality, squeezing out every last drop of detail. For a whole new way of listening, try 360 Reality Audio, for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience.
Google Chromecast built-in
Chromecast lets you stream music, podcasts and audio apps, including Google Play, at the touch of a button. Having it built-in saves the battery life on your phone as the phone's Bluetooth transmission system isn't used for this purpose. Being able to stream straight from the cloud also gives the best audio quality.
Stream your music with wireless Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Wi-Fi
More than just a boost for your TV sound, the Sony HT-A3000 soundbar also makes a handy speaker for your music. Pair with your smartphone, tablet or computer and you'll be able to stream all your stored music and favourite streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music. Networking is further enhanced by Wi-Fi connectivity, including Apple’s AirPlay 2. Wi-Fi lets you stream music from other, networked devices around your home. AirPlay 2 is the ideal wireless music system for streaming from your Apple iOS device, such as iPhone and iPad.
Set up in no time
For ease of use, the Sony HT-A3000 is hard to beat. Simply plug into your TV using the HDMI eARC connection and power on. USB and optical inputs are also on hand for adding your other sources. Sound Field Optimisation uses built-in microphones, automatically measuring the room’s dimensions and tailoring the sound to suit – all at the touch of a button.
Omnidirectional Block Design
Designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept, the Sony HT-A3000 complements many other Sony designs, including the optional SA-SW5, SW3 subwoofers and the SA-RS3S, SA-RS5S rear speakers. Smooth lines, rich textures and timeless style set this soundbar apart from the opposition.

Nice soundbar
I bought the sound bar when I upgraded my Sony tv to give me a better sound experience. The sound quality is good and the soundbar is easy to set up alongside the new tv and rear speakers.

Great product…2nd time around!
I bought a new Sony TV 55 inch, Soundbar and DVD player in December.
The first soundbar didn’t link up with tv speakers and was obviously not as described by Sony. My retailer replaced it with a new one and everything worked as expected after the initial set up. Really happy with the new soundbar and TV…just a shame Sony didn’t get it right first time as I had to spend a lot of time on the Sony helpline and visits from the retailer to get it sorted.

Exelent 3.1 Sound Bar.
Had this a couple of weeks now, paired with a Sony Brava XR-55A90J, which has pretty good sound for a modern TV, but the Sony HT-A3000 Sound Bar changes everything. Sub woofer and wireless rear speakers are availible, but in my 14ft x 16ft living room the Sound Bar alone more than does the job. So far I haven't needed to crank it up more than fifty percent, even for very exciting movies, or music and using the TV as a centre speaker, cable supplied, allows for incredibly clear dialog. While not the cheapest sound bar availible, this one is highly recomended .

Great integration with my Bavia TV
It is a pity that the smallest sound Bar in the range does not feature up firing speakers. I simply don't have the space for a larger bar. When coupled with rear Speakers and a sub with the TV acting as the centre speaker the sound is stunning.

Sony sound bar
I was very disappointed with the sound quality of this sound bar so much so I have returned to Sony for a refund to be honest the sound from my new Sony Bravia tv was far better in fact the best built in speaker sound from a tv I have had but I am very disappointed at the sound from the Sony sound bar
