Hisense has announced its new HT Saturn surround sound system, positioning it as a budget-friendly alternative to Sony’s Bravia Theater Quad. The HT Saturn revealed at IFA 2024, includes four wireless speakers, a subwoofer, and a control box, similar to the Bravia Theater Quad, which does not include a subwoofer in its standard package.
The HT Saturn boasts an impressive 720 watts of power, surpassing the Bravia Theater Quad’s 504 watts. It supports advanced audio formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS, ensuring a highly immersive sound experience. The control box of the HT Saturn will handle connections like HDMI for the TV, wirelessly transmitting the audio signal to the speakers and subwoofer, similar to the setup used by the Bravia Theater Quad.
Currently, specific details on pricing and release dates for the HT Saturn are not available. However, it is expected to offer a more affordable option compared to the Bravia Theater Quad, which is priced at $2,499/£2,499/AU$3,699. The HT Saturn’s price point will likely be competitive given Hisense’s typical pricing strategies.
The HT Saturn is anticipated to be a significant upgrade over Hisense’s AX5125H soundbar, which has been praised for its powerful Dolby Atmos performance at a budget price. The HT Saturn’s potential to deliver a superior surround sound experience at a lower cost makes it an exciting prospect. The AX5125H, which is priced around $299/£299/AU$499, is currently the closest option in Hisense’s lineup for an immersive surround sound experience.
Hisense’s focus on creating a cost-effective alternative to the Bravia Theater Quad could make the HT Saturn a compelling choice for consumers seeking high-quality surround sound without the premium price tag. The HT Saturn’s compatibility with Hisense’s TVs, such as the U8N, could further enhance its appeal if it provides an integrated audio experience at a competitive price.
