The Sony BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 (SA-RS8) is a pair of wireless rear speakers. They add surround sound to compatible Sony soundbars and AV receivers, with support for Dolby Atmos and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.
Each speaker is a two-way design with a woofer and a tweeter, and delivers 50 W of power. With 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, compatible soundbars create multiple phantom speakers around the room. The design is compact, and the speakers can be placed freely or mounted on a wall. They are made with recycled materials.
The speakers connect wirelessly, with no cables between them and the soundbar or home theater system. Power them up and set them up in the BRAVIA Connect smartphone app. The app guides initial settings and troubleshooting, and controls volume and sound field. It also notifies you of software updates and can control a compatible TV. Sound settings such as Sound Field and volume also appear in the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu, so you can adjust them with a BRAVIA TV remote.
