Sony Introduces Home Theater Media Stand with Surround Sound System

January 23, 2008

Delivering a custom home theater installation look without damaging walls, Sony Electronics today unveiled the Sound Wall RHT-S10 home theater stand with an included surround sound system.

The Sound Wall includes Sony’s first 5.1 channel surround sound system to offer built-in speakers, an amplifier and a subwoofer in one slim speaker package. The sound system is attached to a free-standing wall facade that also serves as a mount for a television. Wires are hidden behind the wall and connected to an integrated A/V rack anchored at the base of the media stand.

“Today, consumers want TVs and home theater systems mounted flat against a wall, blending in with the home’s décor,” said Brennan Mullin, vice president for audio products for Sony Electronics’ Digital Imaging and Audio Division. “The RHT-S10 is a great solution for those who want the custom installation look without damaging walls to hide the wires.”
At 350 total watts of power, the system delivers high resolution surround sound with five speakers, an S-Master® digital amplifier and a subwoofer built into the unit. Sony’s S-Force® Pro front surround sound technology generates realistic surround sound from the system without the need for rear speakers, providing flexible placement options regardless of a room’s existing elements or shape.
