Sony TA-AN1000 Dolby Atmos AV Amplifier
Sony TA-AN1000 Dolby Atmos AV Amplifier
Immersive 3D sound with Dolby Atmos or DTS:X
Sony’s highly regarded TA-AN1000 AV amplifier features a range of object-based, 3D surround formats, maximising the full potential of whatever speaker configuration you have. The most commonly used surround sound format is Dolby Atmos, this impressive technology delivers truly immersive cinematic sound, particularly when with ceiling or up-firing speakers where you will benefit from vivid, overhead effects as well as the usual surround sound effects. When it’s not possible to use a multi-speaker array, however, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation will simulate this three dimensional effect, without the need for overhead speakers.
Compatible with latest HDMI specs
The TA-AN1000 features 6 HDMI inputs, two of which support 4K/120Hz which is perfect for the latest generation games consoles and other high frame rate devices. Support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) ensures the best resolution and clarity whilst Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) helps eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience. This receiver also supports 8K video, providing a little future proofing.
Powerful 7-channel amplification
Outputting 85 watts per channel the TA-AN1000 boasts more than enough power to drive a wide range of speakers and to fill larger rooms. Build quality is superb as you would expect from Sony, with a solid frame and beam chassis to aid vibration resistance and to minimise distortion.
Wide-ranging HDR support, including IMAX Enhanced
The TA-AN1000 supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports IMAX Enhanced, which promises clearer and brighter images when used with dedicated IMAX Enhanced media.
Versatile Music Streaming
The TA-AN1000 offers a wide range of streaming options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2. Easily stream your favourite tunes from your smartphone or tablet.
360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your environment
The TA-AN1000 features 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology to draw you into your entertainment like never before. Based on the positional information measured during the auto calibration set-up process the receiver creates multiple ‘phantom speakers’ positioned all around you, creating the ultimate immersive viewing experience.
High-Res audio playback
Sony TA-AN1000 is compatible with High-Resolution Audio files and supports native DSD decoding via USB and network connections, making it ideal for music fans just as much as movie lovers.
Works with Sonos certification
‘Works with Sonos’ certification means that the TA-AN1000 will integrate seamlessly with your existing Sonos system. Once connected to a compatible Sonos product (Sonos Port), you can group the AN1000 with other Sonos devices or use it independently. As soon as you start playing music from your Sonos app, the TA-AN1000 switches on and automatically selects the correct input.
Combining superb sound quality with the latest audio and video processing, the Sony TA-AN1000 is the perfect hub of any home entertainment system.
