Sony-Announces-New-BRAVIA-Theatre-Home-Audio-Products-for-2025
Sony unveiled the 2025 BRAVIA Theatre home audio products. The new BRAVIA Theatre line-up addresses the differences between cinema and home viewing environments. Cinemas utilise numerous speakers on the ceiling and walls to create an immersive localised sound field. With BRAVIA Theatre, you can experience a comparable cinematic audio experience in your home. The new range includes the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 (3.1.2ch Soundbar with a wireless subwoofer) and the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 (5.1ch home theatre system), which deliver a standalone immersive cinematic audio experience. In addition, the BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 (rear speakers) and the BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 (subwoofer) provide a wide range of sub speaker options when they connect to a compatible Soundbar, such as BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9, to even more accurately channel the cinematic experience at home. These four new BRAVIA Theatre products deliver the intent of film sound designers, bringing the authenticity of the cinema-like sound to the comfort of the living room. On top of that, Sony is introducing new BRAVIA TVs and a new BRAVIA home cinema projector, further solidifying its commitment to expanding the BRAVIA range, covering a whole spectrum of home entertainment devices.
Sony’s wide variety of products, such as digital cinema cameras and professional monitors, have been widely utilised by film production professionals, allowing the company to deeply understand the cinema industry and the intentions of filmmakers and content creators. The new line-up of BRAVIA TVs, soundbars and home cinema projectors connects creators and viewers, allowing the ultimate cinematic experience to shine in the comfort of the home as the filmmaker intended.
Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 is a 3.1.2ch Soundbar offering immersive surround sound and transparent dialogue. Also, it packs a wireless subwoofer to deliver a well-balanced bass sound. Dolby Atmos / DTS:X realises powerful, cinematic surround sound. Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats. With Sony’s unique upmixer technology, you can experience three-dimensional surround sound with surround sound format and stereo content. For clear dialogue and a precise sound image, a dedicated centre speaker ensures crystal-clear voice reproduction in every scene. If you pair the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 with a compatible BRAVIA TV, Sony’s Voice Zoom 3, powered by AI machine learning, recognises human voices and amplifies or reduces their volume so even faint dialogue sounds loud and clear.
Sony BRAVIA Theatre System 6
BRAVIA Theatre System 6 is an all-in-one 5.1ch 1000W powerful sound system with a subwoofer, delivering a deeper, richer, and well-balanced sound. The 5.1ch speaker setup brings depth, clarity, and weight to audio, while the Dolby Atmos and DTS: X support realise immersive multi-dimensional soundscapes.
It is powered by Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround that brings films to life as the creators intended, lending a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats, too. Like BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6, this home cinema system boasts Voice Zoom 3, using AI-driven algorithms to ensure even speech sounds are loud and clear. For more exciting immersion, Multi Stereo allows the replication of stereo sound from left/right to centre/rears for a multi-directional sound boost.
Sony BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 & BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7
BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 and BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 are optional speakers that elevate your home cinema setup. You can enrich your cinematic sound by wirelessly connecting BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 to a compatible Soundbar to create an enhanced 360 spatial sound experience optimised for a specific home setting using Sony’s unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology. BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 will add that extra low-end to make you feel, not just hear, the frenetic action on the screen. BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7’s slim and compact design allows two-way installation options. The optional speakers boast a high-quality design that will complement a variety of living spaces visually.
