The Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 + Sub 7 (HT-AP710) is a soundbar and wireless subwoofer system that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The bar is a single slim unit with 9 speaker units. The Sub 7 (SA-SW7) connects wirelessly to the bar, so no speaker cable is needed.
The bar has three woofers, two tweeters, two up-firing speakers for overhead effects, two side-firing speakers for width, and four passive radiators. The front left and right channels use a 2-way system with dedicated woofers and tweeters. A full-range center speaker handles dialogue. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates five phantom speakers and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls.
The Sub 7 has a 100W output, a 130mm driver with a passive radiator, and a bass reflex design. Separated Notch Edge technology uses concentric cuts on the speaker surround to control diaphragm movement and reduce distortion. The subwoofer can stand vertically or lie horizontally. Sound Field Optimization calibrates the system to the room and listening position through the BRAVIA Connect app. Voice Zoom 3 uses AI machine learning to recognize human voices and adjust dialogue clarity when paired with a compatible BRAVIA TV.
