Sony introduces the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8: Supreme surround sound, incredible immersion.

The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 offers the ultimate surround sound experience, as Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates phantom speakers throughout the room, giving you the feeling of being right in the middle of the scene. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are two technologies that come straight from the cinema into the living room. The IMAX Enhanced certification* also ensures an authentic cinema experience in your own home.

Exclusive features can be used when paired with a BRAVIA TV. This soundbar is designed to slide perfectly under the stand. Acoustic Centre Sync turns the BRAVIA TV into the centre speaker for perfect audio-visual coordination. The customisable Voice Zoom 3 feature enhances dialogue and commentary, and the entire home entertainment experience can be controlled with a single remote control.

Sony's unique X-Balanced Speaker Units are shaped to increase sound pressure for deep, punchy bass and reduce driver excursion for less distortion and clearer vocal reproduction. Ready to use straight out of the box: just plug in, connect to the TV using the included HDMI eARC cable and switch on! The Sony | BRAVIA Connect app can be used to control it via your smartphone.

BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 lets you enjoy not only movies but also music. High-Resolution Audio delivers superior sound quality, 360 Reality Audio is Sony's realistic music experience that gives you the feeling of being in the studio, and DSEE Extreme upscales every track. Gamers can enjoy the latest gaming formats, including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1 as well as 8K and 4K120 passthrough.

The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 is designed with the environment in mind, using some of Sony's own recycled plastic, while the packaging contains less plastic and more recycled paper.

*IMAX Enhanced will be available via a future firmware update. Official IMAX Enhanced certification requires the purchase of a subwoofer (SA-SW5 / SA-SW3) and rear speakers (SA-RS3S / SA-RS5) *The BRAVIA Connect app must be downloaded to the smartphone from the Google Play Store for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices.
