Among the features available on the Sony Bar 6, the Voice Zoom 3 function. Based on artificial intelligence, it identifies human voices and amplifies them for perfect intelligibility. And to be complete, the speakers also benefit from the DSEE principle to magnify in real time (via the Edge-AI algorithm) the sound quality of compressed audio files, and the Imax Enhanced certification.

The Sony HT-B600 (or Bar 6) soundbar has six speakers. Three specimens on the front, two vertical HPs plus the subwoofer. Namely, the speakers are X-Balanced models (rectangular in shape). For [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc] and [abc]DTS:X[/abc] compatibility, it benefits from the S-Force Pro Surround process associated with the Vertical Surround Engine technology (vertical Surround processing). The idea is to enjoy the height sound effects of these soundtracks without any ceiling speakers.
