Product Information
Powerful, fully immersive home cinema sound, made stylish and convenient; the Sony Theatre Trio + SR HT-A8KIT does it all.
Cinematic sound for your TV
Comprising of a central soundbar, four satellite speakers and one subwoofer, the Sony Theatre Trio + SR truly immerses you in sound. Delivering a massive upgrade on a regular soundbar, this true surround sound speaker system wraps the audio all around the room, recreating cinematic effects to their full extent. Despite the room-filling sound, it’s a convenient and room-friendly solution. TV connection is via a single HDMI cable, with wireless connectivity between the centre soundbar and all the other speakers.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for thrilling cinema sound
Featuring up-firing speakers, front and rear, this Sony surround sound system is compatible with the greatest cinematic audio systems – Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced. Experience special effects whizzing around the room, and overhead sounds such as aircraft and rolling thunder, just like at the cinema.
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 even more surrounded by sound.
Rear speakers optimise 360 Spatial Sound to its full potential
360 Spatial Sound is taken to its full potential with the supplied wireless rear speakers. With the BRAVIA Theatre Rear 9 speakers in position, the phantom speaker count further increases, giving a heightened feeling of being at the centre of the action.
Powerful bass from a wireless subwoofer
The separate BRAVIA Theatre Sub 8 subwoofer effortlessly produces deep, cinema-like bass. What's more, with it being a wireless subwoofer you're free to position it anywhere within the room without the hassle of a connection wire between it and the soundbar.
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.
Get yourself totally surround by sound, with the Sony Theatre Trio + SR (HT-A8KIT).
