The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad is a four-speaker wireless Dolby Atmos system with 16 drivers and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, so it places sound around the room without rear speaker cables. Sound Field Optimization calibrates itself to the room and speaker placement. It suits people who want a big surround effect with minimal clutter and own a BRAVIA TV, where Acoustic Center Sync 2.0 sharpens dialogue. Against a soundbar it trades a single bar for four separate units and more drivers, but it has no subwoofer in the box, so deep bass needs the optional wireless sub.

Owners praise the wide, room-filling Atmos effect and the clean wireless setup. Many note that bass is modest without the optional subwoofer and that the system works best paired with a Sony TV.
The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad is a wireless Dolby Atmos home theater system with four powered speakers and a control box. It also supports DTS:X. Each speaker has an up-firing driver, a soft dome tweeter, a midrange driver and a woofer, for 16 drivers in all. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates a wide soundstage, and the X-Balanced rectangular design helps the woofer and up-firing drivers deliver punchier bass and better clarity.
The four speakers connect wirelessly to the control box, which plugs into the TV with an HDMI cable. The control box and all four speakers must be connected to AC power. Sound Field Optimization calibrates the sound to the room, speaker placement and listening position, and it requires the BRAVIA Connect mobile app. The system is designed to complement Sony BRAVIA TVs. With a compatible BRAVIA TV, its settings are added to the TV's Quick Settings menu. Acoustic Center Sync 2.0 lets the system and the TV work together to reproduce dialogue and other center channel sounds. This needs an additional stereo mini connection, and the cable is included. A future firmware update is required.
For music, the system has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect. It plays high-resolution audio files. DSEE Ultimate uses artificial intelligence to upscale compressed digital music in real time. 360 Reality Audio works with compatible streaming services, and a subscription may be required. You can control the system by voice with a Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device, sold separately. The optional SA-SW3 or SA-SW5 wireless subwoofers, sold separately, add bass. IMAX Enhanced support is planned via a future update when paired with an optional subwoofer.
