Music with even more presence, plus clear dialogue and explosive effects:

They're what your living room's been waiting for. Thrill to every car chase, every orchestral crescendo and every word of dialogue with the new HT-ST3 and HT-ST7 Sound Bars from Sony.

Whether you're enjoying the latest movie releases or watching TV, you'll experience an extra dimension of immersive multi-channel audio excitement.

Both Sound Bars make a stunning match for today's interiors, with distinctive Sense of Quartz' styling that takes its design cues from this year's BRAVIA TV collection.

HT-ST3

Immerse yourself in satisfying multi-channel surround sound with the super-slim ST3. Hang the sleek, low-profile Sound Bar on the wall or slip it in front of your TV. The bar's ultra-slim lines in aluminium alloy are accentuated by an etched stainless steel grille, adding an elegantly contemporary accent to any living space.

The 4.1 channel discrete S-Master Digital Amplifier turns nights in front of the TV into a special occasion. No less than 11 speakers ensure precisely-focused sound, with S-Force Pro Front Surround processing for a dense, room-filling soundfield to satisfy every family member.

Filling the room with soul-shaking bass, the dedicated subwoofer can be positioned vertically or slipped horizontally on a shelf. Parallel low-frequency drivers deliver a massive low-end thump, while reducing annoying rattles and resonance.

HT-ST7

Unique to Sony, cutting-edge Magnetic Fluid Speakers reveal fresh levels of detail from every line of dialogue, to draw you even deeper into the storyline.
