Sony is increasing its presence in the wireless soundbar segment of its Indian operations with the release of the Sony HT-S400. The new wireless soundbar is a 2.1-channel, 330W soundbar that combines Dolby Digital and S-Force PRO Front Surround. It uses Sony’s in-house digital sound technology to deliver cinema-level surround sound.
The launch of the HT-S400 wireless
soundbar follows the recent release of the SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers by
Sony India. The rectangular speakers help to maximize the diaphragm size while
the front speakers are X-balanced. The design and shape of the soundbar help to
maintain sound pressure and improve vocal clarity. A powerful wireless
subwoofer delivers high-quality bass output from a 160mm speaker. The sound
output is deeper and richer in combination with Dolby Digital. The rear panel
of the subwoofer is covered with recycled plastic from Sony’s processes.
The Sony HT-S400 outputs 330W audio and
comes with an HDMI ARC one-cable connection. There are intuitive controls in
the new Sony soundbar that enables wireless connectivity, as well as dedicated
buttons for some functions. It comes with an intuitively-designed and portable
remote. There are several sound settings available in the new soundbar. The
remote’s BRAVIA power button can turn on and off the TV and soundbar simultaneously.
The OLED display of the Sony HT-S400 wireless soundbar shows several
operational parameters.
The soundbar supports Bluetooth 5.0
connectivity and is wall mountable. Its retail price is Rs. 21,990 (US$ 275) and
can be purchased from Sony retail outlets, as well as other e-commerce
platforms in India.
