Audio Engineer Tests Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping on the HT-A5000 5.1.2 Soundbar and RS5
Рет қаралды 109,436
Күн бұрынAs an audio engineer, I had to test out the Sony HT-A5000 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Soundbar and its 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and see what it's all about. Combine it with the Sony SA-RS5 or SA-RS3S rear speakers and the SA-SW5 Subwoofer and you get a truly immersive home theater setup. You can actually get a sense of how immersive it sounds because I captured it with a binaural microphone so you can listen to it from right where you are, so wear some headphones or both of your earbuds!

Thanks very much for this! So useful for when you can't demo these very easily in shops now and gives you an initial starter to decide which direction to go to. Having put some headphones on, you can really tell the difference in the recordings. Just a quick question, I've got an old analogue MJ acoustics subwoofer. Is there anyway to use this instead in the setup without buying the Sony sub. Maybe using one of the outputs or using some converters for the cables? Thanks in advance

@ThisIsTechToday 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! I haven't personally used the HT-A7000 but you can use the SW5 and RS5 with it as well! From a fundamental level and how much of a difference the sub and rear speaker makes on the HT-A5000 it is a dramatic expansion of immersion and fullness. I'd say the bars are great for front coverage and ceiling coverage while the rears full in rear coverage and rear ceiling coverage to the point you can hear things up and FAR behind you, and a sub really fills in the low end more and adds some deeper rumble. I hope that helps!

Hi Brandon I've got the HT-A7000 and RS5 sub, currently waiting for the SA-RS5's to become available in the UK. I've changed to this a soundbar set up from A Denon/KEF receiver to simplify everything and get rid of cable clutter. I'm very impressed so far just with Bar and Sub configuration. The difference in quality is barely noticeable and once the rears are added i'm confident this will be a simpler and superior setup. My question is where did you get the AV cabinet from? I'm looking for a new one and like the style of it.

Last year I bought the HT-Z9F. I also bought the rear wireless speakers. Now they keep losing signal and drop out. So I'll lose my sub or one of the rear channels. Recently I've started having the sound bar cut in and out, and when watching a movie having the source change from the bar to the TV speakers is aggravating enough to just turn the movie off. Sony had me send it in for warranty and said it's a known problem with no fix currently. Hopefully this was resolved in this system and it will not have the speakers cutting on and off.

The cool thing about eARC over HDMI is that you can simply adjust the audio on your TV and it should adjust the speaker system as well. I haven't personally encountered a time when that didn't work that way, so it should be the norm. The controller for the Sony speakers does have the ability to balance certain things like the sub volume, etc.
@MrJustinwatches 2 жыл бұрын
Are the speakers supposed to be so quiet? I received the RS5s about a week ago and have updated the speakers, changed a few settings, and even customized the spatial mapping to boost the rears to max dB with the soundbar to min dB (+-6 allowed), yet I can barely hear them unless I put my ear about one foot away... When I do the optimization they are loud and clear, but in use they are super quiet! Not sure if they are supposed to function that way as merely ambient noise to not take away from the main audio. Any advice?

@ThisIsTechToday 2 жыл бұрын
It will definitely make it more immersive because of all of the phantom speakers that will make the stereo spread even more robust and beyond just left and right, but also above you. It does really show off the 360 experience a lot more when you have content that is designed for that like Dolby Atmos.

@ThisIsTechToday Жыл бұрын
The rear speakers are not sub-woofers. They're primarily able to provide more midrange and highs which would capture things moving around you. A sub can be placed mostly anywhere in the room and accomplish the same goal of providing more weight and low end to your sound. If you're looking for low-end, I'd start with a sub first.

@ThisIsTechToday 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah! I would definitely get the RS5's as those up-firing speakers really make a noticeable difference in how immersive things sound. It manages to really bring audio to the back of the room and up and behind you in a very dramatic way. The whole system is really great at making you have that dome sound, no joke. The sound profile is more towards the clean and airy sounding because of that dome effect and EQ. I think the binaural ears did manage to capture a lot of that sound profile fairly well.

I haven't used the A9 so I don't know, sorry! I'd say the top one is the closest to my setup, but better, so that seems like a great setup. The HT-A9 would have more flexibility if you don't have much room for a soundbar and stuff.

Would it be worth to invest in the rear speaker if my coach is literally next to the wall? That means there wouldn't be space to place them behind me but instead they would be at my sides.

I definitely think so! It provides more space in the sound and the ones I had in this video also shoot in so it gives it height.

@MarkGibbons Жыл бұрын
These speakers are not audible to most listeners, there's several forum and reddit posts about people claiming they cannot hear these speakers at all, myself included. Maximum rear volume, every setting you can imagine- these speakers add absolutely nothing. They're complete junk. When testing/testing up the speakers however, they're clear, vibrant and loud. It's not dud-speakers, it's dud-software. I regret this whole Sony system immensely and I recommend anyone interested in this unit to search for reviews beyond KZfaqrs.

@ThisIsTechToday 2 жыл бұрын
I haven't personally tried it, but I would be skeptical if they have the same tech for phantom speakers in a dome formation all around you like on the Sony's. The obvious thing is that matching brands between your TV and Sound system tend to have their benefits, and if image is your main focus, then what you choose for a TV will be the deciding factor. I can confidently say that the Sony A90J has been the best TV I've ever owned and even the speaker in the TV is astoundingly good and full.

I have this setup, but with the Rs3, and sw3 sub. I never truly experienced the phantom effect during content watching, just in the setup demos. I’m thinking of upgrading the bar itself to the HT-A700, since it uses a different audio engine called “Immersive Experience” instead of the older sound field tech in the HT-A500. Im actually pretty annoyed about this because I first tried their more recent lower end bar which lacks in sound but uses the IE engine and the phantom and height effects were so much more noticeable. Sony dosent give the distinction that the HT-A500 lacked this version of the sound engine in any marketing so it’s a damn shame and a waste!
