Product Information
”An ingenious Dolby Atmos system that combines huge scale, impressive cohesion and excellent usability in one stylish package.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Expand your TV’s soundstage
Taking a step beyond a soundbar, the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Trio HT-A8 features left, centre and right speakers for a ‘wall of sound’ experience. Ideal for pairing with large screen TVs, this three speaker system is compatible with cinematic sound formats and, with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, immerses you in the action. TV connection is via a single HDMI cable, with wireless connectivity between the centre soundbar and left/right speakers.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for thrilling cinema sound
Featuring nine speaker drivers in total, including up-firing and side-firing speakers, This Sony TV sound system is compatible with the greatest cinematic sound systems – Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Add an optional subwoofer and rear speakers, and the entire system then becomes compatible with IMAX Enhanced too.
360 Spatial Sound Mapping for enveloping audio
Sony’s innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology uses sophisticated algorithms to create phantom speakers all around your room, reflecting the audio in such a way as to make you feel surrounded by sound. When combined with the naturally broad sound of a three speaker system it delivers truly room-filling audio.
Optional rear speakers optimise 360 Spatial Sound to its full potential
You can take 360 Sound Mapping to its full potential by adding wireless rear speakers. Add the optional BRAVIA Theatre Rear 9 speakers and the phantom speaker count further increases, giving a heightened feeling of being at the centre of the action.
Take the next step, with an optional subwoofer
Although the BRAVIA Theatre Trio features compact woofers built-in, for bass that you can really feel, it’s worth upgrading by adding the Sony Theatre Sub 8. This takes the bass to a completely new level, introducing rumble and thunder to the soundtrack, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Wireless connectivity cuts the clutter.
X-Balanced speakers for optimised sound
Sony’s X-Balanced speaker units differ from regular speakers in their unique, rectangular shape. This shape maximises the cone area, giving more punch per cm2. The design also reduces driver excursion, meaning you get less distortion and greater vocal clarity. Whether you’re playing music or movies, X-Balanced speakers deliver more.
Sound Field Optimisation for easy placement and room calibration
With Sony’s Sound Field Optimisation, you get the perfect sound for your room – whatever the natural acoustics. Use the supplied USB Type-C microphone for advanced room measurements. If you choose to add rear speakers, the system also accommodates this, using the phantom speaker technology to fill any gaps within the soundstage. For sound that’s optimised to your seating position, use the BRAVIA Connect smartphone app to adjust the speakers’ audio output to best suit you.
The smart choice for your BRAVIA home
Pair with a BRAVIA TV and operation becomes even smoother. When partnered with a compatible TV, Voice Zoom 3 uses AI machine learning to recognise human voices and emphasise dialogue. Use a BRAVIA TV remote and you’ll be able to operate the soundbar functions, not just the volume, but also Voice Zoom, Sound field and more.
Stream your music with wireless Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect
More than just a boost for your TV’s sound, the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Trio also makes a punchy music system. Compatible with Hi-Res Audio and featuring Sony’s AI upscaling DSEE Ultimate, it sounds powerful and detailed with all music. Built-in Spotify Connect (premium Spotify account required) lets you seamlessly listen to all your favourites from this popular streaming app. AirPlay 2 compatibility makes it easy to connect to your Apple device and stream audio directly from it. For a quick and easy link with almost any smartphone or tablet, Bluetooth connectivity is also included.
Experience the big sound that your big TV deserves, with the Sony Theatre Trio HT-A8.
