Cinematic sound for a wider audience

BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 combines physical and phantom speakers, creating a wider surround sound field that covers more of the room.

Ultimate surround with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping

Experience the ultimate in home surround. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates 5 phantom speakers in front of you and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls, enabling cinema-style surround sound from a single soundbar.

Enjoy wider surround sound coverage

Now more people can enjoy the same immersive surround experience. By using phantom speakers, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology achieves wider coverage than conventional virtual surround systems.

Unleash the full potential of 360 Spatial Sound Mapping

Add optional wireless rear speakers for an even more expansive sound stage. Working with the rear speakers, the Bar 8 creates up to 11 phantom speakers, including speakers behind you for that authentic cinema feel.

Sound straight from cinema

Bring authentic cinema surround sound quality to your living room. BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, but also has IMAX® Enhanced certification.

Upmix stereo content to surround sound

Sony's new upmixer delivers rich surround sound even from stereo content. Its innovative algorithm extracts and redistributes individual audio objects to immerse you in 3D sound. While upmixing, AI Sound Separation processing detects human voices and makes them sound clearer.

Makes everywhere the best seat

It doesn’t matter which seat you’re in. It doesn’t even matter what your room’s acoustics are like. Sound Field Optimization lets everyone experience movie theater surround sound.

Optimized sound for maximum enjoyment

We’ve made surround sound simple. Sound Field Optimization not only calibrates sound based on speaker position, it also takes your room’s acoustics into account, and your listening position too.

Speaker placement made simple

Adding rear speakers? Don’t worry about finding the perfect position. Sound Field Optimization calibrates sound based on their location and uses phantom speakers to fill any gaps in the surround stage.

Calibrated to suit your room

No need to remodel your home to get movie theater acoustics. Sound Field Optimization analyses your room's acoustic characteristics, then uses advanced signal processing to overwrite them with those of a movie theater.

The best seat is where you are

Enjoy quality surround sound wherever you're sitting. Just run calibration with our smartphone app, BRAVIA Connect, and BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 will detect your position in the room and optimize sound to suit.

Outstanding acoustic performance with 11 speaker units

There’s more to great surround sound than signal processing alone. Your physical speakers need to deliver exceptional acoustic performance too – and BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 doesn’t disappoint.

New 2-way speaker

Discover clear, wide surround sound from a single soundbar. The Bar 8 features a new 2-way speaker with added tweeters for front and centre, delivering wider surround sound and a precise sound image.

Quad woofer delivers powerful bass

The Bar 8 may be slim but it delivers remarkably powerful, punchy bass thanks to a built-in quad woofer.

Side speakers fill the space with sound

Side speakers reflect wide directional sound off the walls, filling your entire room with expansive sound and giving entertainment a real sense of drama and scale. The ambient sound recognized by the algorithm contributes to the expansive sound too.

Hear sound from overhead

Up-firing speakers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom ceiling speakers for even more atmospheric sound.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit

The speakers’ unique rectangular shape maximizes the diaphragm area for punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion and maintains sound pressure, ensuring less distortion and greater vocal clarity.

Crystal clear voice. Precise dialogue.

No more muffled voices. Combined with compatible BRAVIA, our new Voice Zoom 3™ powered by AI machine learning recognizes human voices and amplifies or reduces their volume so even faint dialogue sounds loud and clear.

Effortless control with BRAVIA

Control surround sound easily with your BRAVIA TV remote. Sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu for easy control of features, like Sound Field and volume.
