Sony Electronics introduced Tuesday its value-priced HT-S400 soundbar and wireless subwoofers featuring S-Force Pro Surround Technology.
The Sony HT-S400, which is available for pre-order now at a $299.99 retail price, is expected to hit authorized retail stores in April.
The soundbar includes the company’s S-Force PRO Front Surround technology that virtually reproduces the surround sound field.
The front speakers also include an X-Balanced Speaker Unit, which features a unusual rectangular shape that maximizes the diaphragm.
Driver excursion is reduced while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity, Sony said.
The Separated Notch Edge on the X-Balanced Speaker Unit improves vertical amplitude symmetry, which results in very clear sound quality.
Sony said it uses strategically placed cuts on the edge, which help to control the stress inside and outside the edge of the diaphragm.
The two features are said to keep dialog clear during a load sound effects sequences or subtle, tense moments of conversation.
