Sony HT-AX7, detachable and battery powered surround speakers
Featuring exclusive 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology that performs a sharp analysis of the listening room, the Sony HT-AX7 can be placed anywhere and deliver an optimized audio environment in all circumstances with a multitude of virtual speakers placed around and above the user(s).Setting up is very simple, just separate the two round pebble-shaped speakers located at the top of the main speaker and arrange around you, in a triangular shape (see photo below).Then technology comes into play and creates a real sound bubble to immerse the user(s).
As a reminder, having made its debut in the Sony HT-A9 Home Cinema pack (click on the product reference to discover its complete test by the AVCesar.com editorial staff), the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping process is known and damn efficient.
Namely, the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping mode is active only when the two pebble-shaped speakers are placed somewhere in the listening room. If the user leaves these speakers in their place on the largest speaker, the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping sound is inactive. There is also the exclusive Sony Upmix algorithm, very useful for music, in order to give an additional thickness to a stereo signal.
