Sony on Monday launched its new soundbar, HT-Z9F supported by Dolby Atmos technology for Rs 59,990 in India.
Combined with Sony's vertical surround engine and the S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the 5.1-inch soundbar is compatible with voice assistants Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
"The new HT-Z9F, will be a game-changer for the home cinema segment," said Sunil Nayyar, Managing Director, Sony India.
The device comes with 'Vertical S' button on the remote that would enable the soundbar to produce three-dimensional sound. This puts the HT-Z9F far ahead of older 2.1-channel models from the brand, like the model evaluated in this Sony soundbar HT CT80 review.
Sony has also launched a pair of rear speakers, SA-Z9R that cost Rs 9,990 designed to go with the HT-Z9F, and extend the surround sound experience.
