Sony BRAVIA Theatre Trio Home Theatre System (HT-A8)

Big sound made for the big screen

Introducing the BRAVIA Theatre Trio: Big sound made for the big screen.

Designed for today’s big screen TVs, this three-unit system delivers super wide surround sound, with audio tuned by leading movie sound engineers to bring cinema level immersion straight into your home.

Matching the scale of even the biggest screen, left and right speakers wrap you completely in cinematic sound, while the dedicated centre speaker ensures every plot twist is crystal-clear.

Powered by our innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, the BRAVIA Theatre Trio creates phantom speakers all around you. It has been meticulously fine-tuned by the engineers at Sony Pictures Entertainment in our mastering theatre to mirror a real-life soundstage, complete with direct movie sound, as well as the atmospheric acoustics(1). With studio-crafted sound faithfully tuned to carry the emotion and detail intended by the filmmakers themselves, the BRAVIA Theatre Trio will have you feeling like you're in your own personal movie theatre.

Bring the cinema standard home with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced certification(2).

There's no need to remodel your home on your quest for cinematic immersion, as our Sound Field Optimisation technology automatically analyses your space and uses advanced signal processing to create a cinema-style audio layout. A USB Type-C microphone is included for advanced optimisation, and you can use our BRAVIA Connect app to calibrate the sound for exactly where you are seated(3)(4)(5)(6)(7).

This exceptional acoustic performance is achieved using dedicated woofers and tweeters for expansive sound with precise sound positioning. A full-range centre speaker delivers clear dialogue, up-firing speakers provide immersive overhead audio, side speakers fill your space from wall-to-wall, and built-in woofers and passive radiators generate deep bass. Our unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit ensures less distortion and greater clarity, and everything is built using premium materials to ensure a purer, more natural sound experience.

If you want to expand your home entertainment system even further, optional rear speakers and up to two subwoofers can be added.

The BRAVIA Theatre Trio is ready to go straight out of the box. Use the BRAVIA Connect app for extra set up guidance, calibration, and everyday control.

Enjoy ultimate audio-visual integration when paired with a BRAVIA TV. Voice Zoom 3 offers enhanced dialogue, and you can even control the volume of voices separately to other sounds(8); you can control your TV and soundbar using one remote(9); the soundbar matches perfectly with our TVs to keep your home neat; and the matching side speakers can be wall-mounted or free-standing.

From movies to music to gaming, explore new ways to listen to everything you love — even stereo content is transformed into rich surround sound with our incredible, AI-powered upmixer.

HDMI 2.1 capability ensures the original picture quality of any source is preserved, and Dolby Vision compatibility delivers cinematic depth and realism.

Multi Stereo works with optional rear speakers to create bigger, reverberating impact; Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay allow you stream directly to the speakers; Bluetooth allows you to wirelessly connect to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop; and DSEE Ultimate upscales all your digital tracks in real time.

Gamers can sharpen their play with the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1, as well as 8K and 4K120 Passthrough. PlayStation 5 users will unlock even more exclusive features when paired with a compatible BRAVIA TV.

Recycled materials are used in the soundbar, speakers, and the packaging.
