Sony has unveiled the HT-S2000, a mid-range Dolby Atmos soundbar that could spell trouble for Sonos. According to Sony, it will provide immersive, cinematic sound with its 3.1 channel set-up and duo of sound-enhancing features. Interestingly, this isn't a part of Sony's popular HT-A series of soundbars which includes the Award-winning HT-A7000, and instead appears to sit just below the HT-A3000.
Sony is using a three-driver arrangement with a dedicated centre channel, which it says will provide "clear dialogue", while the built-in subwoofer is set to serve up some "punchy bass". Sony says that together these create a clear, spacious and room-filling sound that's enhanced with its X-balanced Speaker Units which allow for louder sound pressure and enhanced vocal clarity with minimal distortion.
