Enjoy cinematic moments together.

Single soundbar with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, Sound Field Optimization, 2-way speaker structure, quad woofer, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X.

Ultimate Surround with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping

Experience the ultimate in home surround. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates 5 phantom speakers in front of you and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls, enabling cinema-style surround sound from a single soundbar.

Enjoy Wider Surround Sound Coverage

Now more people can enjoy the same immersive surround experience. By using phantom speakers, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology achieves wider coverage than conventional virtual surround systems.

Unleash the Full Potential of 360 Spatial Sound Mapping

Add optional wireless rear speakers for an even more expansive sound stage. Working with the rear speakers, the Bar 8 creates up to 11 phantom speakers, including speakers behind you for that authentic cinema feel.

Add a Wireless Subwoofer and Rear Speakers for Fuller, Richer Sound

To complete the cinematic experience, combine Sony’s optional wireless rear speakers with an optional subwoofer and enjoy sound with even greater impact.

Sound Straight From Cinema

Bring authentic cinema surround sound quality to your living room. Bravia Theatre Bar 8 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, but also has IMAX Enhanced certification.

Upmix Stereo Content to Surround Sound

Sony's new upmixer delivers rich surround sound even from stereo content. Its innovative algorithm extracts and redistributes individual audio objects to immerse you in 3D sound. While upmixing, AI Sound Separation processing detects human voices and makes them sound clearer.

Speaker Placement Made Simple

Adding rear speakers? Don’t worry about finding the perfect position. Sound Field Optimization calibrates sound based on their location and uses phantom speakers to fill any gaps in the surround stage.

Calibrated to Suit Your Room

No need to remodel your home to get movie theatre acoustics. Sound Field Optimization analyses your room's acoustic characteristics, then uses advanced signal processing to overwrite them with those of a movie theatre.

The Best Seat is Where You are

Enjoy quality surround sound wherever you're sitting. Just run calibration with our smartphone app, Bravia Connect, and Bravia Theatre Bar 8 will detect your position in the room and optimise sound to suit.

New 2-Way Speaker

Discover clear, wide surround sound from a single soundbar. The Bar 8 features a new 2-way speaker with added tweeters for front and centre, delivering wider surround sound and a precise sound image.

Quad Woofer Delivers Powerful Bass

The Bar 8 may be slim but it delivers remarkably powerful, punchy bass thanks to a built-in quad woofer.

Side Speakers Fill the Space with Sound

Side speakers reflect wide directional sound off the walls, filling your entire room with expansive sound and giving entertainment a real sense of drama and scale. The ambient sound recognised by the algorithm contributes to the expansive sound too.

Hear Sound From Overhead

Up-firing speakers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom ceiling speakers for even more atmospheric sound.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit

The speakers’ unique rectangular shape maximises the diaphragm area for punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion and maintains sound pressure, ensuring less distortion and greater vocal clarity.

Do it all With Bravia Connect

The Bravia Connect smartphone app guides you through initial settings, assists with troubleshooting, and lets you control volume, sound field and more. It also notifies you about software updates and lets you control a compatible TV too.

Set Up in Seconds

Simply plug in the Bar 8, connect to your TV using HDMI, and power on. With LAN, HDMI IN and HDMI OUT (eARC), you’re all set to enjoy a new spatial surround sound experience.

Accessible for All

To help people who are blind or have low vision set up the soundbar, tactile dots indicate a QR code for the Bravia Connect app, which offers screen reader support. Tactile dots on the back panel indicate the eARC HDMI terminal for connecting to a TV.

Space-Saving Design

The supplied spacer allows the soundbar to sit tidily over the TV stand for an integrated look that saves you space.

TV and Soundbar in Perfect Harmony

Step up to a completely cinematic experience. Acoustic Center Sync enables the Bar 8 to use your compatible Bravia as a centre speaker. So sound comes from the screen, adjusted as part of one integrated speaker system.

Crystal Clear Voice. Precise Dialogue

No more muffled voices. Combined with compatible Bravia, our new Voice Zoom 3 powered by AI machine learning recognises human voices and amplifies or reduces their volume so even faint dialogue sounds loud and clear.

Effortless Control with Bravia

Control surround sound easily with your Bravia TV remote. Sound settings automatically appear on the Bravia Quick Settings menu for easy control of features, like Sound Field and volume.

Movies Feel So Real

With its HDMI 2.1 capability, Bravia Theatre Bar 8 ensures the original picture quality of any source is preserved, right up to 8K HDR.

An Immersive Gaming Experience

Lose yourself in gaming. Enjoy immersive overhead sound with the PlayStation 5 console, optimised picture settings by Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode when connecting compatible Bravia TVs and PS5 console. This product also supports VRR, ALLM and SBTM for more realistic gaming.

Lose Yourself in Supreme Music Quality

Bring your music to life as never before. Enjoy tracks the way the artists intended with High-Resolution Audio. Or discover 360 Reality Audio for a truly immersive live music experience.

Stream Music From Your Favourite Services

It's not all about movies. You can also enjoy music in high-quality upmixed sound. Built-in support for Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay lets you play all your favourite tracks.

Bluetooth Connection

Stream audio content wirelessly. Bluetooth technology makes it easy to enjoy music, podcasts and more from your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

DSEE Ultimate

Using Edge-AI, DSEE Ultimate (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time, restoring acoustic details for a richer listening experience.
