”Sony’s A9 speaker system redefines accessible home cinema sound with an innovative, immersive and flexible solution.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Quality surround sound. Made easy
Consisting of four, wireless speakers and a compact control hub, the Sony HT-A9 makes surround sound easier than ever. Simply connect your TV, and one other AV source, to the control hub, place the wireless speakers around you, and enjoy immersive sound in minutes from unboxing.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible
Featuring up-firing speakers, each of the four surround speakers is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats. Up-firing speakers help create a more voluminous sound, with overhead effects – such as a helicopter – sounding more realistic than ever. Combined with an Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack, the 3D sound will have you ducking for cover.
Unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping Technology, with ‘phantom’ speakers
Making the most of the Atmos/DTS:X compatibility, each speaker uses a built-in dual microphone to measure their position within the room. 360 Sound Mapping then creates up to 12 ‘phantom’ speakers, giving you an even more enveloping sound – without increasing the actual speaker count.
Optimised sound – in any room
Thanks to Sound Field Optimisation, you don’t need to rearrange your room for the best sound quality. Simply unbox, plug in and perform Easy Setup from the TV’s home menu. Perfect sound, straight out of the box.
Use your Sony TV as a centre speaker
For the best experience, pair with a compatible Sony BRAVIA TV and enjoy Acoustic Centre Sync. This uses the TV’s built-in speakers as the dialogue, or centre speaker, helping to firmly locate the sound to the picture.
Optional subwoofers for even greater bass power
Take the sound to a deeper dimension by adding an optional subwoofer. The optional SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 models connect seamlessly and, like the surround speakers, use a wireless connection. With power outputs of 200 watts and 300 watts, respectively, expect edge-of-seat cinema style thrills.
The latest gaming – made awesome
The HT-A9 is perfect for more than just movies. Compatible with 8K HDR and 4K 120fps pass-through, the system gets the best from the latest games, too.
Your music – at its best
With High-Resolution audio compatibility and 360 Reality Audio, your music could sound better than ever on the HT-A9 speaker system. Use Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect to easily access your favourite music streaming services, such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL and, of course, Spotify. The A9 also features Sony’s DSEE Extreme processing. DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales your existing music to near Hi-Res quality, squeezing out every last drop of sound.
Voice control
Compatible with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, the HT-A9 seamlessly becomes part of your voice-controlled, home entertainment system.
Stylish Omnidirectional design
Rounded edges not only enhance the sound, by reducing harmful reflections, but also give the speaker system an unobtrusive, harmonious style. The light pearl grey colour blends with most decors, too.
Enjoy the thrill of cinema at home, without the hassle, with the Sony HT-A9.

Gret product and easy to accommodate.
Bought this around 2 weeks ago and it's excellent. It's more space saving than other surround systems and works well but you really do need the sub.

5 Star product with 1 star connectivity
The sound quality is really good, but if you are living near block of flats with many wifi networks , you will suffer from sound dropouts. Sony should at least add the option to select the preferred wifi channel manually and also option to save the last used channel. As of now the system forgets the last used channel and you will again need to scan for good wireless channel every time you turn on the system.

Fantastic Sound
We have had this sound system for a couple of weeks now and are still amazed at the clarity and depth of the sound. It was easy to install, and, as we love our music, we bought the woofer as well and this fills our living room with an incredible sound…..almost as though we were in a concert hall. I love it and am so glad we decided to buy this system.

Reasonable sound
Not bad for one little box. I think it's helped by using the Sony TV as the centre speaker. Disappointing there is only one HDMI and occasionally it's slow to respond

Excellent system once set up!
The plus side first: it creates a brilliant immersive sound and delivers unbelieveable nuances in my music (particularly those which have been produced for immersive sound, of course). Balancing the speakers was easy using the setup process, given the limitations of having to set up the speakers within specific distances from electrical outlets in the room.
The fun bit. Obviously there was some connection between the control box and my TV as the menus appeared on screen but.... the HDMI supplied was not reading at all to connect TV mode to the box so no sound and an error message told me that there was no HDMI plugged in!!! I checked everything, including resetting my Sony TV to ensure that it was set to use the right HDMI outlet for sound and that the TV was to work with an audio system. Still nothing. I happened to have a spare HDMI cable which I plugged in instead and huzzah!!!! It turns out that the HDMI supplied wasn't fully functional. At least I had a spare to check it all out.

Great
I bought this a while ago and it’s great I haven’t added the sun as my room small and the bass on this is just fantastic for smaller rooms
