Combining a sleek, compact soundbar with a powerful wireless subwoofer, it creates a more engaging home entertainment experience without the need for a complicated speaker setup.
Featuring 2.1 channel sound and Dolby Digital technology, the Sony HT-SD40 produces a wider, more cinematic soundstage, helping you feel closer to the action. Whether you're watching the latest blockbuster, catching up on your favourite TV series or enjoying live sport, you'll experience fuller audio with greater depth and detail. The dedicated subwoofer adds impressive low-frequency performance, delivering deep, punchy bass that brings explosions, soundtracks and music to life.
Powerful 330W sound with dedicated wireless subwoofer
With an impressive 330W total power output, the Sony HT-SD40 delivers the volume and impact needed to transform everyday TV viewing. The two-channel soundbar works alongside a dedicated wireless subwoofer to create a balanced 2.1 channel audio system, combining crisp mid and high frequencies with deeper, more powerful bass.
The wireless subwoofer features a large 160mm speaker driver, producing rich low-frequency sound that adds extra impact to action scenes, music and sporting events. Its wireless connection to the soundbar also gives you greater flexibility when positioning it around your room, helping to keep cables and clutter to a minimum.
S-Force PRO Front Surround for cinematic audio
Enjoy a more immersive listening experience with Sony's S-Force PRO Front Surround technology. Using advanced digital sound processing, it virtually recreates the effect of surround sound through the front-facing speakers, creating a wider soundstage that makes films and television programmes feel more involving.
Rather than relying on multiple rear speakers, the HT-SD40 produces a virtual surround effect from its compact soundbar, making it an excellent choice for upgrading your home cinema audio without filling your living room with additional speakers.
Clearer dialogue with X-Balanced Speaker technology
Never miss an important line of dialogue again. Sony's innovative X-Balanced Speaker Units feature a distinctive rectangular diaphragm design that maximises the speaker surface area. This helps maintain sound pressure while reducing distortion, delivering clearer vocals and more natural dialogue.
The Separated Notch Edge design further improves diaphragm movement, helping to produce consistent, detailed audio whether you're watching a gripping drama, a news programme or your favourite films.
Voice Mode and Night Mode for personalised listening
Choose how you listen with the Sony HT-SD40's convenient sound settings. Voice Mode enhances dialogue frequencies, making speech easier to understand, particularly when watching programmes with quieter conversations or busy background soundtracks.
When it's time to watch television late at night, Night Mode helps you enjoy your entertainment at lower volumes without losing important audio details. It's ideal for keeping sound levels more comfortable without disturbing other people in your home.
Bluetooth 5.0 wireless music streaming
The Sony HT-SD40 isn't just for improving your television sound. With built-in Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, you can wirelessly stream your favourite music, podcasts and playlists directly from a compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Enjoy your music through the soundbar and dedicated subwoofer, giving your favourite tracks greater depth and fuller bass than many standard television speakers can provide.
Simple TV connectivity with HDMI ARC and optical input
Getting started is straightforward thanks to the Sony HT-SD40's versatile connection options. Connect the soundbar to a compatible television using HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), allowing audio to travel through a single HDMI cable and helping reduce unnecessary cable clutter.
Alternatively, the optical audio input provides an easy connection for televisions without HDMI ARC. With straightforward installation and an intuitive remote control, you can quickly adjust the volume, bass and sound settings to suit your entertainment.
Stylish, slim design to complement your television
Finished in sleek black, the Sony HT-SD40 soundbar features a slim, understated design that sits neatly beneath your television or can be wall-mounted to create a clean, integrated home entertainment setup. Measuring just 900mm wide and 64mm high, it offers an unobtrusive addition to your living room while delivering a substantial improvement in sound quality.
The integrated OLED display provides useful information about your selected input, volume and sound settings, making everyday operation simple and convenient.
