Started by IITian Ashoke Mukherjee in 1970, Sonodyne has been passionate about audio innovation for over 55 years now. We have been making in India and exporting worldwide well before ‘Make in India’ became a deserving national slogan.

With R&D and manufacturing facilities in Mumbai and Kolkata, we offer premium solutions for professional and residential audio. Our balanced and detail sonic signature has been critically acclaimed by sound engineers, globally. 

SAMÃ 5000 is our first Dolby Atmos soundbar.

Interestingly, this is not our first association with Dolby, USA. In fact, Sonodyne was the first company in India that licensed Dolby NR (Noise Reduction) for cassette decks in the early ‘80s. This began a long association in our pursuit of true sound.

When it came to addressing the needs of a true cinematic experience, we again turned to Dolby. With Atmos, Dolby has created a tech platform to deliver high quality immersive sound. However, a lot of experience in core audio engineering is required to actually optimize the Atmos experience.  Primarily among them are

  • How to recreate the human voice without distortion

  • How to create the illusion that the voice is coming from the screen and also that there is surround sound from above and sides with the no speakers present

  • How to deliver dynamics so that both subtleties and excitement are recreated

Leading on our 50 years of core audio experience, we are pleased to announce that SAMÃ 5000 delivers an excellent immersive Dolby Atmos experience, filling your space with rich, multi-dimensional sound. The main features are:

  • A dedicated center channel ensures crystal-clear dialogue with no ear fatigue

  • A compact wireless subwoofer with a 6.5” transducer adds deep, impactful bass

  • Powerful multichannel Class D amplifiers that in conjunction with efficient transducers deliver high power and clarity

  • DSP-balanced tuning ensures a balanced and distortion-free sound at any volume 

  • Custom modes for movies, music, and speech let you tailor the audio 

  • HDMI CEC/eARC allows for seamless high definition connectivity with televisions

  • Bluetooth, Optical and Aux connectivity for high quality musical reproduction

The SONODYNE SAMÃ 5000 Dolby Atmos soundbar is now available for INR 45,000 on amazon.in and sonodyne.com

SONODYNE’S JOURNEY TO SAMÃ

SAMÃ, pronounced as “Suh-mah” in Sanskrit, signifies balance and harmony. To understand SAMA, we need to understand the sound designer’s journey.

The sound designer ensures that sound enhances the visuals and keeps the audience engaged. Without a well-crafted sonic journey, the story risks losing its grip, emphasizing the designer’s critical role in sustaining immersion. To achieve this, the sound engineer concentrates on the following elements:

First and foremost, dialogue clarity takes center stage, capturing the emotional depth and anxiety of an actor’s performance through sync sound and studio overdubs. Iconic cinematic voices are unforgettable, aren’t they?

Then non-verbal sonics, like sound effects, are created using live recordings or high-definition libraries. These range from rain and thunder to elaborate effects in VFX-heavy productions, such as subtle horror cues or explosive battle scenes.

Ambience, like background traffic or crowd chatter, captures a scene’s sonic essence. Though subtler than sound effects, it enriches the space, from party voices to audience rapture at a live performance.

The sound designer then places the musical score, crafted by a dedicated team to capture dramatic movement. Iconic themes like Darth Vader’s march or Jaws’ ominous entry are unforgettable sound triumphs.

With all this information the sound engineer tirelessly crafts the final multichannel mix, creating an immersive balance that drives the story and captivates the audience.

Inspired by cinematic creativity and precision, the SAMÃ 5000, our compact Dolby Atmos soundbar, offers an immersive experience, staying true to the sound designer’s vision.
