The Sony HT-S400 delivers 330W of total power, providing a significant improvement over the built-in speakers found on most televisions.
The soundbar provides 200W, while the wireless subwoofer contributes 130W, giving the complete system its 330W total output.
This combination provides enough power for everyday television viewing while also delivering greater impact during movies, music and gaming.
Whether you’re watching an action movie, listening to music or following a football match, the additional power gives your entertainment a fuller and more engaging sound.
2.1 Channel Sound System
The Sony HT-S400 uses a 2.1-channel configuration consisting of:
- Left and right soundbar channels
- One dedicated wireless subwoofer
Unlike a conventional 5.1-channel system, the HT-S400 does not require separate rear speakers. This makes it easier to install while maintaining an immersive front-focused soundstage.
For customers who want better sound without filling their living room with multiple speakers and cables, the HT-S400 offers a convenient solution.
Powerful Wireless Subwoofer
One of the biggest advantages of the Sony HT-S400 is its wireless subwoofer.
The subwoofer produces the deep low-frequency sound that helps make movies and music more exciting. Explosions have greater impact, music gains more depth and bass-heavy soundtracks feel more powerful.
Because the subwoofer connects wirelessly to the soundbar, you have greater flexibility when deciding where to position it.
The subwoofer measures approximately 192 x 387 x 400 mm and weighs approximately 7.3 kg.
S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s S-Force PRO Front Surround technology creates a wider virtual soundstage from the front-facing soundbar.
Instead of requiring rear speakers to create a sense of surround sound, the technology processes the audio to give you a more spacious listening experience.
This is particularly useful when watching movies and television programmes because sound can feel more expansive than what you would normally get from a conventional TV speaker system.
Clear Dialogue with X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The Sony HT-S400 features an X-Balanced Speaker Unit, designed to improve sound clarity while reducing distortion.
The speaker design helps reproduce vocals and dialogue more clearly, making it easier to follow conversations in movies, television shows and news programmes.
This is especially useful for customers who find that their TV speakers make dialogue difficult to understand when there is background music or action.
Voice Mode
The HT-S400 includes Voice Mode, which is designed to improve the clarity of dialogue.
When watching movies, series or news programmes, Voice Mode can make spoken words easier to distinguish from background sound.
This makes the Sony HT-S400 particularly useful for everyday TV viewing as well as entertainment.
Night Mode
Night Mode helps make the sound system more suitable for late-night viewing.
It can help reduce the impact of louder sound effects while maintaining dialogue clarity, allowing you to enjoy movies and television without unnecessarily disturbing other people in the home.
Bluetooth 5.0
The Sony HT-S400 supports Bluetooth 5.0, allowing compatible smartphones, tablets and other Bluetooth-enabled devices to stream audio wirelessly.
You can therefore use the HT-S400 as a music system even when the television is switched off.
Simply connect your compatible device through Bluetooth and enjoy your music through the soundbar and wireless subwoofer.
HDMI ARC
The Sony HT-S400 features HDMI ARC, providing a simple way to connect the soundbar to a compatible television.
HDMI ARC allows compatible TV audio to be sent to the soundbar through the HDMI connection, reducing the number of cables needed for your setup.
The connection also makes controlling the soundbar more convenient when used with compatible Sony BRAVIA televisions.
Optical Audio Connection
For televisions that do not have HDMI ARC, the HT-S400 also provides an optical audio input.
Optical connection offers a reliable digital audio connection between the television and soundbar.
This makes the HT-S400 compatible with a wide range of modern televisions.
Wireless TV Connection
Compatible televisions can also connect wirelessly to the HT-S400.
This provides a cleaner installation and can reduce cable clutter around your entertainment unit.
Wireless TV functionality depends on television compatibility.
Sleek and Slim Design
The HT-S400 soundbar has a sleek design that complements modern televisions.
The main soundbar measures approximately:
- Width: 900 mm
- Height: 64 mm
- Depth: 88 mm
- Weight: 2.4 kg
Its slim profile allows it to sit neatly beneath a television while the simple Sony design blends into most home entertainment setups.
Wall-Mountable Design
The soundbar can also be wall mounted, providing a clean and modern installation.
Wall mounting is particularly useful when the television is already mounted on a wall because the soundbar can be positioned underneath it for a more integrated home entertainment setup.
Simple Controls and OLED Display
The HT-S400 comes with a compact remote control that makes it easy to adjust volume and sound settings.
The soundbar also features an OLED display window, allowing you to see important operating information and settings.
