The Sony BRAVIA Theater Trio (HT-A8) is a three-unit home theater audio system. It has a center speaker bar that sits under the TV and two wireless front tower speakers that stand on either side of the screen. This layout widens the soundstage beyond the edges of large TVs.
The system has 9 speakers across its three units. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates up to 24 phantom speakers in a cinema-style layout, including overhead Dolby Atmos height effects. The sound was tuned in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Sound Field Optimization uses the included USB-C calibration microphone to analyze your room's acoustics and adjust the output for your listening position. AI Sound Separation isolates voices from background audio and up-mixes stereo content to surround. The BRAVIA Connect app handles setup, calibration and everyday control from your phone.
