Sony is a world-class audio manufacturer, in addition to domestic consumers familiar with players, headphones, its amplifiers and speakers are also favored by HiFi players, they will give priority to Sony when assembling home theaters.
At present, Sony's home theater can be divided into two types, one is the BDV series, with a pair of column speakers as the main body, similar to the combination of traditional home theaters. The other is the BOSE-like sound bar HT series, which focuses on virtual surround and can add satellite speakers to achieve real surround, which has slowly become the center of gravity of Sony, ranking fourth in the North American market in terms of sales.
The BDV series is similar to the home theater of traditional audio manufacturers in form, but supports WIFI, Bluetooth, optical fiber and other ways of connection, which is more intelligent and integrated than traditional home theater, and is more in line with the needs of young users.
At present, the latest model of BDV series is BDV-N9200W, the maximum power has reached 1200W, which is an improvement from the previous generation N9150, but because it is a plastic cabinet, timbre and resonance are difficult to compare with wooden speakers, the price is quite cheap, is5899element, and the player that comes with it supports DTS and Dolby decoding, no need to buy a Blu-ray player and amplifier, the layout is simple, it is one of the first choices for simple home theater.
As for Sony's HT sound bar series,HT-ST5000It is currently the most high-end home theater,Interface、Complete functions,Support DTS:X sound effect and Hi-Res high-quality audio standard,The front speaker has7pcs65mmThe sound generating unit is far beyond the same level,It can simulate7.1.2Dolby Atmos,The sound effect is shocking、Accurate positioning、Surround realistic,Achieve the level of traditional entry home theater with sound bar,It's not easy,The price is12000element。
The S-Force Pro front virtual surround technology used in the HT-ST5000 is similar to KEF's Uni-Q technology, and its benefits are to better widen the best listening position of the sound, so that the surround effect of the sound is better, plus Sony's digital amplifier S-Master technology, which can effectively reduce the sound distortion, although it is not as good as Yamaha's digital projection technology, but the effect is also very obvious.
HT-RT5 and HT-NT5 are Sony's mid-range products, both of which perform well in terms of functionality and sound quality at the 4000 yuan price point, so they have always been popular products. Non-Blu-ray movie lovers choose NT-5It is more suitable,It supports basic Dolby and DTS decoding,Meet the needs of general audio-visual entertainment,Two satellite speakers can be added in the later stage to achieve4.1Surround sound,But due to the lack of center channel speaker,Its surround effect is quite different from5.1Channels。 RT5 has more complete functions, supports Dolby Atmos sound, and is also more cost-effective, but unfortunately due to the relatively early release date of RT5, it does not support 4K HDR output.
