Sony has launched new home audio products in its BRAVIA Home Theatre lineup, along with a mid-tier TV available in sizes up to 100 inches.
Designed to create a wider surround sound field, the new range includes the Theatre Bars 7 and 5 as well as optional speakers like the Sub 9, 8, 7 and Rear 9.

The new BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 is a compact design equipped with nine speaker units, including up-firing speakers and side speakers for a wide soundscape.
With Sony's proprietary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping-technology (360SSM), it provides immersive sound along with room-calibrated audio.
Users can further enhance their setup by adding optional subwoofers and rear speakers for deeper bass, playing IMAX-Enhanced content at its full potential.
The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 5 is a 3.1ch system accompanied by a wireless subwoofer, aiming to deliver powerful bass and clear dialogue.
S-Force PRO Front Surround, Vertical Surround Engine and Sony's upmixer technology all come together here to facilitate three-dimensional immersive surround sound.
Both soundbars support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.3, pair with compatible BRAVIA TVs to benefit from Voice Zoom 3 enhanced dialogue, and use the BRAVIA Connect app for smartphone control.
Meanwhile, Sony’s new subwoofers and rear speakers deepen bass to complement BRAVIA Theatre systems.
The Sub 9 and Sub 8 feature large drivers for low-frequency performance, with supported dual-subwoofer play for the first time.
The Sub 9 uses two 200mm vibration-cancelling drivers for low-distortion bass, while the Sub 8 offers a single 200mm driver for deep extension.
The compact Sub 7 includes a 130mm driver and flexible placement options, also supporting dual-sub setups.
The wireless Rear 9 speakers use 80mm up-firing units to boost rear-channel immersion and create additional phantom speakers for a more enveloping 360 Spatial Sound experience.

Alongside the new audio lineup, Sony is also expanding its BRAVIA TV range with the BRAVIA 3 II, aiming to deliver a big-screen experience.
Equipped with the XR Processor found in Sony's premium TVs and XR Triluminos Pro, the BRAVIA 3 II delivers a wide colour gamut.
Sony cooperates with MediaTek, a company known for developing Smart TV SoCs, to reduce content-dependent noise and deliver delicate image reproduction.
It also supports 4K 120Hz and offers four HDMI 2.1 ports, making it suitable for gaming.
The BRAVIA 3 II comes with the newly designed Inclusive Remote Control, reflecting user feedback with optimised button design and clear spacing.

Additionally, the Remote Finder function enables all users, including those people with visual disabilities, to easily locate the remote.
It includes Gemini for Google TV, swapping basic commands for “free-flowing conversations”.
This technology allows users to browse 700,000 movies and TV episodes in one place, with chat functions to find what to watch.
