Elevate your home cinema setup with the Sony HT-A8 soundbar system. This three-unit array uses 360 Spatial Sound Mapping to create phantom speakers for immersive surround sound. Designed for easy integration with BRAVIA TVs, it delivers a cinematic experience imported from the UK.
Powered by Sony's innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, the BRAVIA Theatre Trio creates phantom speakers all around you. It has been meticulously fine-tuned by the engineers at Sony Pictures Entertainment in their mastering theatre to mirror a real-life soundstage, complete with direct movie sound, as well as the atmospheric acoustics. With studio-crafted sound faithfully tuned to carry the emotion and detail intended by the filmmakers themselves, the BRAVIA Theatre Trio will have you feeling like you're in your own personal movie theatre. Bring the cinema standard home with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced certification.
Sound Field OptimisationThere's no need to remodel your home on your quest for cinematic immersion, as Sony's Sound Field Optimisation technology automatically analyses your space and uses advanced signal processing to create a cinema-style audio layout. A USB Type-C microphone is included for advanced optimisation, and you can use the BRAVIA Connect app to calibrate the sound for exactly where you are seated.
This exceptional acoustic performance is achieved using dedicated woofers and tweeters for expansive sound with precise sound positioning. A full-range centre speaker delivers clear dialogue, up-firing speakers provide immersive overhead audio, side speakers fill your space from wall-to-wall, and built-in woofers and passive radiators generate deep bass. Sony's unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit ensures less distortion and greater clarity, and everything is built using premium materials to ensure a purer, more natural sound experience.
ExpandableIf you want to expand your home entertainment system even further, optional rear speakers and up to two subwoofers can be added.
