A sleek soundbar, bursting with sonic talent, the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 HT-A8000 is the stylish solution to give your BRAVIA TV a cinematic boost.
Sight and sound in harmony, with BRAVIA TV Designed to suit your BRAVIA TV’s sound and style, the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 transforms the listening experience. Featuring Acoustic Centre Sync, the soundbar works with your compatible BRAVIA TV’s own speakers, helping to firmly locate what you see with what you hear, while letting the soundbar’s speakers create the soundtrack, special effects and more. The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 doesn’t just sound perfect with your BRAVIA TV, thanks to the space saving design, it looks it, too. Place the soundbar on the TV’s feet and you get an integrated and seamless style.
Spacious, room-filling sound from a single soundbar With an impressive 11 speakers onboard, this premium Sony soundbar has little trouble in filling your room with sound. Not content with this, however, Sony’s innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology uses sophisticated algorithms to create phantom speakers all around your room, reflecting the sound in such a way as to make you feel surrounded by sound.
Optional rear speakers optimise 360 Spatial Sound to its full potential You can take 360 Sound Mapping to its full potential by adding wireless rear speakers. Add the optional SA-RS3S or RS5S rear speakers and the phantom speaker count increases from five to 11, giving a heightened feeling of being at the centre of the action.
Top quality speaker array including quad woofers For clarity and a full-bodied sound, the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 comes equipped with new 2-way speakers. Separate tweeters for the front channels enhance top-end clarity, letting the woofers concentrate on the mid-range vocals. At the bottom end, quad woofers and passive radiators deliver a significant boost to the bass.
Take the next step, with an optional subwoofer Although the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 features quad subwoofers built-in, for bass that you can really feel, you can upgrade with the optional SA-SW3 or SA-SW5 subs. These take the bass to completely new level, introducing rumble and thunder to the soundtrack, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Wireless connectivity cuts the clutter.
X-Balanced speakers for optimised sound Sony’s X-Balanced speaker units differ from regular speakers in their unique, rectangular shape. This shape maximises the cone area, giving more punch per cm2. The design also reduces driver excursion, meaning you get less distortion and greater vocal clarity. Whether you’re playing music or movies, X-Balanced speakers deliver more.
The thrill of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, from a single soundbar Featuring a 11-speaker array, this Sony soundbar has all angles covered – making it the perfect partner for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X material. Left, right and centre speakers at the front are matched with side speakers for an enveloping sound that wraps around you. The quad subwoofers provide the hair-raising intensity demanded by action movies. Up-firing speakers complete the Dolby Atmos/DTS:X speaker array, giving a three dimensional height to the soundstage.
Sound Field Optimisation for easy placement and room calibration With Sony’s Sound Field Optimisation, you get the perfect sound for your room – whatever the natural acoustics. If you choose to add rear speakers, the system also accommodates this, using the phantom speaker technology to fill any gaps within the soundstage. For sound that’s optimised to your seating position, use the BRAVIA Connect smartphone app to adjust the soundbar’s audio output to best suit you.
Hi-Res sound, plus DSEE enhancement Compatibility with Hi-Res sound gives you ‘better than CD sound’ from high-resolution music files. Stream over Wi-Fi and enjoy the highest sound quality from your DSD, FLAC and WAV files. DSEE Digital Sound Enhancement Engine upscales your existing music to near Hi-Res quality, squeezing out every last drop of detail.
Stream your music with wireless Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Spotify More than just a boost for your TV’s sound, the Sony HT-A8000 soundbar also makes a handy speaker for your music. Built-in Spotify Connect (premium Spotify account required) lets you seamlessly listen to all your favourites from this popular music streaming app. AirPlay 2 compatibility makes it easy to connect to your Apple device and stream audio directly from it. For a quick and easy link with almost any smartphone or tablet, Bluetooth connectivity is also included.
