OFweek smart home network news Now, more and more people like to watch movies at home, a good picture quality coupled with excellent sound performance, even without leaving home can also have a theater-like audio-visual experience. Therefore, consumers who have certain requirements for auditory experience often use a Soundbar with their own flat-screen TVs for visual and auditory enjoyment. As a sound enhancement artifact for LCD flat-panel TVs, Soundbar products are also being updated with flat-panel TVs and are now very mature. In this article we will talk about Sony's Soundbar HT-NT5.
Why to choose HT-NT5 this Soundbar, it is like buying a car, low allocation may be overcast version, and the so-called high with the cost is not necessarily good. Consumer electronics is cost-effective, so I chose the HT-NT5, which costs $4,990. It carries most of the mainstream technology that Sony has accumulated on Soundbar products, and the price is in the middle of Sony's entire Soundbar series. Level, high cost performance, there is a certain degree of representation.
In addition, there is another reason that the Sony Soundbar's subwoofer is relatively narrow and is relatively easy to place. This is very important for users with space limitations like me.
There is only such a wide distance between the TV cabinet and the wine cooler next to it. If the size of the subwoofer is too large, it will certainly not go in. The subwoofer of the HT-NT5 is more regular and wider, and there is room left and right after putting it in.
My home's TV is only 46 inches, compared to the length of the HT-NT5 host is slightly shorter than the TV width, in addition to this TV itself with the original base speaker, just to make a comparison, but the picture taken is not as good as The kind of stand with the Soundbar looks good.
In addition to the normal parallel placement, the HT-NT5 can also be wall mounted, with special accessories in the accessories. When the living room TV is wall mounted, the Soundbar is similarly wall-mounted and can be unified in style and look better.
Another point is that HT-NT5 supports Bluetooth wireless connection, it can connect to mobile phones or Bluetooth-enabled players to listen to music, and if the player on hand is just Sony brand, then the sound quality will be very good, because HT- NT5 supports Sony's black technology LDAC function, its transmission bandwidth is 3 times that of traditional Bluetooth, can transmit high-resolution audio files, and thus enjoy high sound quality.
Sony's Soundbar almost always has a display, and almost all of this seemingly inconspicuous monochrome display. The screen size is small, but it is indispensable. Mainly used to display the current connection status.
In addition, there is a set of touch operation keys, and some basic functions of Soundbar can also be used through these touch keys without a remote controller. In this picture we can also see the speaker cover formed by metal punching and punching, which runs through the surface of the Soundbar and looks very imposing.
This "small gold standard" is also one of the reasons why I chose HT-NT5 to support high-resolution music playback. Bookshelf can finally be removed, because the bookshelf does not support Bluetooth, just HT-NT5 has Bluetooth, mobile phone songs and convenient, but also save space, kill more.
There is a USB socket on the side of the HT-NT5. You can insert U disk to play files stored inside, including audio files, picture files, etc. The supported audio file formats are FLAC/DSD/ALAC/AIFF/HEAAC/LPCM/MP3/ AAC/WMA, supported image formats are JPEG/GIF/PNG/BMP. What's most exciting here is the ability to play the DSD format, which also shows from the side that Sony's Soundbar has been improving.
A total of six sounding units have been designed for the HT-NT5 on the box. Each sounding unit uses an independent power amplifier. Symmetrical design forms a three-way sound system. There are two high frequency units and one low frequency unit on the left and right. The magnetic circuit of the unit adopts a ∑-shaped distribution, and the dual magnet design increases the magnetic flux, which can effectively reduce the distortion of the horn.
After the HDMI cable is connected, some are ready and powered on. The Blu-ray version of "Avatar" is played first. Its audio track is DTS 48000Hz sampling, 1536Kbps encoding rate, and 5.1 channels. The opening 20th Century Fox title scared me and often saw American movies in the movie theater. Everyone should know that the title sounds come suddenly. There are two kinds of feelings in the movie theater and at home. It will only be experienced in the movie theater. To the sorghum powerful high frequency and low enough low frequency. This sense of experience that had previously only been felt in theaters was presented on the HT-NT5. It really surprised people and dispelled my previous doubts. .
In fact, from the HT-NT5's cell layout, we can also guess its overall idea is 2.1-channel, but due to the use of Sony's unique S-Master HX full digital amplification technology, it can support S-Force front-end Virtual surround sound effects to simulate multi-channel effects that we can manually select, including standard mode, movie mode, music mode, game mode, and sport mode.
I personally like the movie mode and the game mode. The most important feature of these two modes is that the scene sounds are particularly true. There is a feeling that feels like being on the scene. In terms of sound alone, it is also better than the sound of some 4D and 5D movie theaters. Real to come. Here I give one example: In the movie "Avatar," the story of the big bird Icarin who entered Nitiri made her debut. When she stopped beside Netieli, her wings fluttered back and forth. The wings evoked the sound of the air. It was as if I was standing in front of a big bird. At the moment, my heart began to have a kind of inexplicable anxiety. It was like being threatened. I subconsciously picked up the remote control and put the volume into a minor tone. Then Neytiri made a dive on a big bird and slipped over Jack's head. My heart was startled again, and the subconscious Jack's actions with his neck also shrank his neck down to avoid the real "danger".
Remember that shortly after the opening of the movie, did Jack take the big spacecraft to Pandora? The space where the spacecraft landed, the sound of the roaring engine contaminated with dust, the camera zoomed in from the near, and the distance from the near, the sound of the engine also changed, and the shock of the close-up shot was heart-wrenching. The ground staff in the picture really got a cold sweat. The kind of oppression on the top of the head hits the heart. The fear is that it is so real. I deliberately listened to the sound of the subwoofer at this time, not just a "bang", but mixed with a kind of air flow and a kind of dust like a dusty "rustle." For the movie alone, this subwoofer is crucial to the performance of the sound presence, and is the soul of the HT-NT5.
Regarding the HT-NT5 sound experience, I have tried many films. For example, the "Death 4" 3D version also left me with no less than "Avatar" shock. The deepest impression was on the racing field. When the screwdriver flew out, I subconsciously avoided the movement. Compared with the previous speakers, I felt even more real. There was even a feeling of faint pain on my face after being wiped by a screwdriver. This is the power of good voices. Can give people a lot of hints, so that the viewing experience is more real and exciting. This is also the main reason why many movie lovers choose to go to the cinema.
When it comes to cinemas, it's a good match for the HT-NT5. I think the cinema is also divided into threes and nines and so on. That kind of thing will not say anything, just talk about it. As long as you don't worry about disturbing people, turn the HT-NT5's volume slightly higher, which is a small movie theater. Whether it is the high frequency of transparency, the height of the extension, or the cleanliness and clarity of the character's dialogue, as well as the true degree of reduction and shocking of the scene sound, it all appears to be a private small cinema sound effect. If we must pick out the insufficiency, it may be that the surround sound is a bit inferior. After all, it is through 2.1 analog multi-channels that we cannot compare with putting two speakers directly behind the viewer. Of course, we can reduce this difference, such as placing the HT-NT5 subwoofer directly on the sofa, and the surround effect will be much better.
In addition, if you really want a perfect private theater sound experience, you can buy two more Sony SRS-HG1. After connecting with HT-NT5 wirelessly, put the SRS-HG1 behind the sofa, one on each side, and it is a true surround sound effect. . However, I didn’t plan to buy in the short term. After all, the two SRS-HG1s are not cheap.
There is a “Night†button on the remote control of the HT-NT5. It can turn on night mode. It is because it is really useful and it works. Today's buildings are generally soundproofed. If you watch movies at night, the normal volume will inevitably confuse the people, and the small volume will not be able to hear the characters. Turning on the night mode, the volume and clarity of the characters' dialogues are significantly improved. It is particularly useful at night. This feature I think is one of Sony's humane care designs. Many manufacturers cannot think of this.
As mentioned earlier, the HT-NT5 has passed Hi-Res authentication and can play high-resolution music. Therefore, in daily use, listening to music with it is also very good. In addition to the traditional use of analog audio cable to connect a mobile phone or music player, you can also use Bluetooth wireless connection and direct playback of U disk songs. In terms of ease of use, Bluetooth wireless connection is the most convenient, and I think sound quality is also good, high sweet, medium quasi, bass enough. Especially listening to pop music is very powerful. At least after listening to the HT-NT5 I decided to take out two hivi boxes. Speaking of these two hivi boxes, I used it to connect with PCs to watch movies. I didn't feel that compared to the HT-NT5, but after using HT-NT5, it was really difficult to use it again.
Earlier, I had downloaded Sony's TV remote control app on my mobile phone. I felt quite funny and sent instructions through the Internet. It was a refreshing feeling. So this time the HT-NT5 has not received the goods, I downloaded the SongPal control software on the phone early. However, it was only after experiencing the sound effects that it came to use.
The connection between SongPal and HT-NT5 can also be via Bluetooth, in addition to the Internet. All in all, wireless, once and for all. In SongPal, almost all the functions of the HT-NT5 can be set here. Compared with the remote control, this is more intuitive and simple. Mobile phone APP operating equipment is already a trend, but also a manifestation of the strength of a manufacturer.
The Sony Soundbar bought from 4,990 pieces is worthless? I have repeatedly asked myself that each time the answer is: "From the sound effect is value, from the gold content of the brand is also worth." The living conditions are getting better and better now. Not only do we have a need for high-quality pictures, we also have a need for good voices. I think that high picture quality and high sound quality should be synchronized so that we can fully feel the original and true feelings of the film.
