Sharp Consumer Electronics is expanding its home cinema segment by presenting new devices with 3D surround sound supporting Dolby Atmos.
It is presenting its new line-up of Dolby Atmos & Aquos Wireless surround sound technology at CES 2024, in Las Vegas – with the products expected to be launched in the European market in the second quarter of 2024.
Matt Sienko, European Product Director for Audio at Sharp, said: “”These high-quality and affordable products let consumers enjoy first-class 3D surround and experience cinema-style audio at home.
“With the introduction of the innovative AQUOS Wireless Surround System, Sharp offers our customers a wireless Dolby Atmos full surround system with an outstanding price-performance ratio. I love the way the HT-AWS0101 wireless flat subwoofer can be stood upright or laid down to fit underneath furniture – it’s a great space-saving feature.”
Its affordable home cinema devices, with first-class immersive 3D cinema sound, is equipped with Dolby Atmos technology and can either decode and play Dolby Atmos audio signals (HT-SB700) or support the playback of Dolby Atmos audio content from compatible Sharp TVs (HT-AWS2001 and HT-AWS0101).
Sharp’s HT-SB700 2.0.2 soundbar is Sharp’s most compact and affordable Dolby Atmos soundbar to date. It was developed for small to medium-sized living spaces and impresses with its minimalist design and width of just 52 cm! Despite its discreet size, it offers an uncompromising Dolby Atmos experience.
The HT-AWS2001 wireless rear surround speakers are the first product from Sharp to be equipped with the new AQUOS Wireless Surround technology. AQUOS Wireless Surround transmits multi-channel sound (including Dolby Atmos) wirelessly from a compatible Sharp TV to the Sharp AQUOS Wireless Surround speakers.
With HT-AWS2001 rear surround speakers, for example, the new Sharp FQ series TVs can be converted from a 2.0-channel Dolby Atmos system into a 4.0-channel full surround experience. The HT-AWS0101 wireless flat subwoofer adds an extra dose of bass to the set-up, further enhancing the cinema-style experience at home.
