Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8.9: Specifications and features

With the rise of streaming services and the growing trend of home entertainment, Sony’s BRAVIA Theater Bars are a timely change. The BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 has 11 speaker units, while the Bar 9 has 13, ensuring a rich, immersive sound that turns movie nights into a cinema-like experience.

A special feature of these soundbars is Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. This technology creates virtual speakers around your room, giving you a 360-degree audio experience without installing any physical speakers. This immersive sound setup makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action, with sound coming from every direction.

Both the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 and Bar 9 come with Sound Field Optimization, which automatically adjusts the sound based on the layout of your room. This ensures that you always get the best possible audio experience tailored to your specific space.

These soundbars support industry-leading audio technologies like Dolby Atmos and DTS, and they are IMAX Enhanced certified. Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional sound space, making sound seem to move all around you. DTS adapts to your speaker layout to produce lifelike sound, making every scene feel more realistic.

Acoustic Center Sync is another impressive feature that syncs the soundbar with your TV. This means that the sound perfectly matches the action on the screen, making it seem like the sound is coming directly from the TV itself. This feature enhances the overall viewing experience, making it more immersive and enjoyable.

Sony has also introduced Voice Zoom 3, a feature that uses AI to enhance the clarity of dialogue. This technology ensures that dialogue is always clear and easy to understand, even amid loud sound effects.

For those who want to further enhance their audio setup, Sony offers optional subwoofers and rear speakers. These wireless components add deep bass and surround sound, delivering a dynamic and customizable audio experience.

The BRAVIA Connect app makes controlling these soundbars easy. You can adjust settings, manage audio preferences, and access additional features directly from your smartphone without interrupting your viewing experience.

Gamers will appreciate the support for 8K/4K at 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). These features ensure smooth and responsive gameplay, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

In line with Sony’s Road to Zero environmental plan, the BRAVIA Theater Bars use recycled materials and are designed to minimise their environmental impact. They also include accessibility features to ensure everyone can enjoy their products.
