”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.

immersive, ease of set up
Recently bought to go with Sony X95L 85 TV. extremely easy to set up. Wireless connection resulted in frequent dropouts, though it is inches from Wi-Fi. I connected with ethernet, so far very stable Works best with ethernet. I am using TV speakers as centre speakers. Is it possible to add another subwoofer Firmware update?? overall great buy especially at great black Friday deal.

Amazing sound quality, wish it had the subwoofer.
It might be expensive, but you can't argue with the sound quality from the HT-A9. The 360 spacial sound mapping will blow your mind. The speakers are so simple to set up, just plug them in and follow the instructions on the screen, it does everything else for you. It definitely sounds like you have a lot more than 4 speakers, it's a smart bit of kit. Although 'wireless' you obviously still need to plug the speakers into a plug socket, which can be tricky depending on where yours are located. I found the length of the power cord far too short for 3 of the 4 speakers, so ordered IEC C7 Figure 8 Extension Power Cables and this did the trick. For the cost of these speakers, I would expect them to come with the subwoofer and not sold separately. That, and the very short power cables, are the only reasons I've not given 5 stars.

Excellent but with a proviso
An excellent set of speakers, i was worried at first by the lack of a centre speaker, but the sound mapping is so good that you do not notice that it is not there.
The proviso - you really do need to add the optional bass speaker to get the best out of this set up.

Great sound
I bought the Sony HT A9 system with the SW5 sub from richer sounds in Oxford. It is to replace my old dead Panasonic surround system that I bought fifteen years ago. I wanted to get rid of the speaker cables trailing around my lounge as well. I thought about getting sonos, but three of the four people I know who own sonos did not recommend it.
The Sony system is well made and very easy to set up. It works seamlessly with my LG TV, sky Q and Panasonic blue ray player. The sound is very balanced and sounds awesome with blue rays and surround sound programmes. TV programmes in stereo are just average, so the sound is very dependant on the media playing at the time. Watching Netflix films streamed from my TV, is like being in the cinema. I would say that if you get the HT A9, then the optional sub is a must. I went for the SW5, and glad I did. I was worried it might be overpowering, but it blends seamlessly into the sound. I couldn't imagine now not having the sub. Overall I think for a "wireless" system, it works extremely well, although It wont beat a dedicated wired atmos surround system, that would no doubt cost a lot more than the Sony. I've not had any Wi-Fi dropouts at all since I first used it. I would like the sub speakers to be the same colour, but as my sub is behind the sofa, this is not an issue. The grey colour of the speakers which I have wall mounted, actually blends in quite well with the colour of our walls. Although quite a bit of money, I think its money well spent and with a 6 year richer Sounds guarantee I have piece of mind with regards to reliability.
