Sony CRT2SNHTA9 HT-A9 4.0.4 Home Theater System Renewed

The Sony HT-A9 takes a fundamentally different approach to home theater audio by replacing the traditional soundbar-and-surround-speaker formula with four identical wireless speakers that can be placed almost anywhere in a room. Each speaker houses an X-Balanced driver unit capable of Hi-Res Audio reproduction, and Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology uses built-in microphones to measure the room and create up to 12 phantom speakers in the sound field. The result is a 4.0.4-channel system that delivers convincing overhead and surround effects for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content, while its Immersive Audio Enhancement mode can upscale standard stereo or 5.1 sources to a virtual 7.1.4-channel experience.

Connectivity is comprehensive: an included control box provides HDMI eARC with 8K and 4K/120 passthrough for gaming and high-resolution video, while Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2 cover music streaming from virtually any device. Voice control through Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa adds hands-free convenience, and BRAVIA TV owners benefit from seamless integration that puts sound settings right in the TV's interface. The wireless design eliminates speaker cables entirely — each unit only needs a power connection — making the HT-A9 one of the most placement-flexible surround systems available. This renewed unit delivers the same performance at a reduced price, backed by inspection and testing to confirm full functionality.
