Our take on the Sony BRAVIA HT-A9M2 Theater Quad with 16 total speakers, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X

The Sony BRAVIA Theatre Quad HT-A9M2 is a flagship wireless surround system with four speakers and a control box, using 360 Spatial Sound Mapping to create up to 12 phantom speakers for immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It suits movie lovers who want room-filling sound without running cables across the room. Compared with soundbars, it offers more flexible placement and a wider sweet spot, but it lacks a built-in subwoofer and competes with separates at a similar outlay. Reviewers praise its spacious, detailed sound and easy setup, though some find the bass light without the optional sub and the control box essential.

About the Sony BRAVIA HT-A9M2 Theater Quad with 16 total speakers, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X

The Sony BRAVIA HT-A9M2 Theater Quad is a home theater surround system with 16 speaker units in four slim wireless speakers. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates up to 12 phantom speakers around the room, which gives cinema-style surround with only a few physical speakers. It covers a wider area than conventional virtual surround systems. Sound Field Optimization calibrates the sound to the room's characteristics.

The system supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced. An upmixer turns stereo content into surround sound, and AI Sound Separation detects voices and makes them clearer. The four speakers can be placed almost anywhere in the room. The dual-purpose stand lets them stand free or be wall mounted.

It passes through 4K HDR, 8K HDR and Dolby Vision video, and supports the HDMI 2.1 gaming features 4K120, VRR and ALLM. With a compatible BRAVIA TV, the system can be controlled from the TV menu and works with Acoustic Center Sync. The BRAVIA Connect app on a smartphone adjusts volume, sound profiles and advanced settings. An optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5) can be added.
