360 Spatial Sound Mapping Technology: Immerse yourself in cinematic sound
The HT-AX7 is equipped with Sony’s unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which can completely surround the user in surround sound. This technology creates multiple virtual speakers in the front, rear and above, allowing you to experience immersive sound in any space. Simply place three speakers around and enjoy surround sound like in a movie theater without the need for additional ceiling speakers. In addition, the HT-AX7 also uses Sony’s up-mixing algorithm, which can convert stereo sound into 3D surround sound. The upmixer analyzes the sound on the fly and differentiates individual sound sources, redistribution to create a more immersive listening experience. Even for binaural content from streaming services, you can enjoy the surround sound effect as long as you turn on the sound field effect.
Everyday life filled with rich sound effects
By placing three speakers in different corners of the room, the HT-AX7 is able to fill the room with rich sound, adding more enjoyment to everyday life. Whether you’re handling household chores or gathering with friends, this theater system allows you to enjoy more exciting music and content. No special configuration is required, just place the speakers where you want them, turn off the soundstage and enjoy. In addition, the HT-AX7 also supports wireless connection, so you don’t need to worry about cumbersome cable layouts, and you can enjoy wireless music with easy settings.
Portable design to enjoy music anytime, anywhere
The HT-AX7 has a portable design and comes with up to 30 hours of battery life. With wireless connectivity via Bluetooth technology, it’s easy to take the HT-AX7 anywhere in your home and connect it to your favorite devices. Unlike traditional home theater systems that need to be placed in front of a TV, the portable design of the HT-AX7 enables you to enjoy high-quality music and sound entertainment anywhere.
