Our take on the Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with 16 total speakers, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, HTA9M2

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad is a flagship surround system built from four wireless speakers, each housing four driver units for 16 speakers total. Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom channels around the room, and Sound Field Optimization calibrates the output to your room's acoustics. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced, and pairs with BRAVIA TVs for integrated control. It suits people who want enveloping surround without running cable to rear positions or mounting ceiling speakers. Bass is the weak point: a subwoofer is sold separately, so buyers wanting deep low end should budget for the SA-SW3 or SA-SW5. Against soundbars it trades a single bar for four placed units, giving more convincing rear and height effects at the cost of more setup and more outlets.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the Theater Quad highly for its wide, enveloping soundstage and the way it places effects around the room without rear cables. The most common complaint is the lack of included bass, with many saying a subwoofer is effectively required for movies.

What people mention
  • Surround effectPraisedOwners say effects wrap around the room and rear cues land where they should, even in rooms with awkward layouts.
  • BassCriticisedReviewers say low end is limited without the optional subwoofer, which most consider necessary for action films.
  • SetupMixedCalibration is praised for adapting to the room, but owners say the initial placement and setup take patience.
  • DesignPraisedThe four speakers are described as compact and unobtrusive compared with traditional surround setups.
  • PowerCriticisedEach wireless speaker still needs its own outlet, which limits where they can go.

About the Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with 16 total speakers, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, HTA9M2

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad is a home theater surround sound system with 16 total speakers. Four slim wireless speakers connect wirelessly to a control box, which connects to the TV via HDMI. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates multiple phantom speakers and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls to produce surround sound from a few physical speakers.

Each speaker has a 3-way woofer design and an up-firing speaker. A bass reflex port adds to the bass. An optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5) can be added, and it pairs automatically when powered on. Sound Field Optimization calibrates the sound to the room's size, its acoustic characteristics and the listening position, so the speakers can be placed almost anywhere in the room.

With a compatible BRAVIA TV, Acoustic Center Sync uses the TV as a center channel speaker, and the system's sound settings can be adjusted from the TV's Quick Settings menu. The BRAVIA Connect app guides setup and controls volume, sound field and other settings from a smartphone. The dual-purpose stand lets the four speakers stand free or be wall mounted.

Questions and answers

Do I need a subwoofer with the Theater Quad?
For movies with deep bass, yes. The system has no built-in subwoofer, and Sony offers the SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 as optional wireless add-ons. Without one, low end is modest.
How does it compare with a high-end soundbar?
The Quad uses four separate speakers, so rear and height effects come from real positions around the room rather than reflected beams. A premium soundbar is simpler to set up and takes less space.
Does it support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?
Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced content, and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping upmixes other material across the four speakers.
Will it work with my TV?
It connects over HDMI eARC to any compatible TV. Pairing with a BRAVIA TV adds integrated menu and remote control.
What is in the box?
Four wireless speakers, the control unit, power cables and the calibration setup. A subwoofer is not included.
How many speakers does it have?
Sixteen driver units in total, four in each of the four speakers.
