New 2024 Bravia TVs include the Bravia 9, Bravia 8, Bravia 7, and Bravia 3. Its new 2024 soundbars will now live under the Sony Bravia Theater name. These include the Bravia Theater Bar 9, Theater Bar 8, Theater Quad, plus a neckband speaker called the Theater U.
Sony Bravia Theater Quad, $2,500 One of the most interesting soundbar concepts from the past few years barely resembles a soundbar at all. I’m talking about the Sony HT-A9, a set of four cylindrical wireless speakers that connect to your TV via a small breakout box that acts as a miniature AV receiver.
In addition to Sony’s already excellent support for hi-res and spatial audio formats like Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and DTS:X, Sony says that IMAX Enhanced compatibility will be available with a future firmware update — provided you also have one of those Sony subwoofers. Under that minimalist guise sits 13 discrete drivers — most of which are new to the Bar 9 — including three tweeters, four woofers, two side-firing units, two up-firing drivers, and two beam tweeters. On top of that are four passive radiators to help with low-end bass response. It’s a very different layout than the A7000, which included a single built-in subwoofer.
From the get-go, the Bar 9 will be compatible with major HDMI 2.1 features like variable refresh rate , something that the A7000 didn’t get until two years after it launched. However, Sony has decided to pare back the ports on the Bar 9 — it only offers a single HDMI input in addition to the standard HDMI output.
Despite these slightly lower specs, the Bar 8 has almost every feature you’ll find on the Bar 9, including support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and the firmware-updatable IMAX Enhanced when you use surrounds a sub.
