Sony HT-SD40 2.1 Channels Soundbar with Powerful Wireless Subwoofer

Hear sound come from all around
The soundbar couples high-quality Dolby® Digital with S-Force PRO Front Surround, our virtual surround sound technology. It puts you right at the heart of the movies you love by emulating cinema style surround sound.

Surround made simple
Using front speakers only, Sony’s unique digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound.

Enjoy clear dialogue and powerful sound
Powerful speakers work together to deliver wide-ranging sound throughout your room, with technologies such as the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and Separated Notch Edge on the speaker unit helping to enhance vocal clarity. So whether you’re watching movies or TV, you won’t miss a word of dialogue.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit
Front speakers feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximises the diaphragm. It reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.

Deeper, richer bass sound
A powerful wireless subwoofer with a large 160mm speaker unit delivers a deeper, richer bass sound.

Separated Notch Edge
The Separated Notch Edge on the X-Balanced Speaker Unit improves vertical amplitude symmetry, an essential for clear sound quality. It achieves this using strategically placed cuts on the edge, which help to control the stress inside and outside the edge of the diaphragm.
