SONY BRAVIA THEATRE TRIO HTA8 SOUNDBAR

SONY BRAVIA THEATRE TRIO HTA8 SOUNDBAR 

Product code: HTA8.CEL

The Sony BRAVIA Theatre Trio HT-A8 elevates your home entertainment experience with its stunning surround sound, intelligent audio processing technologies, and sleek three-part design. This system is specifically crafted for large TVs, creating an impressive audio landscape without the need for a traditional multi-speaker setup.

The three-part structure consists of a central speaker and two separate front speakers that fill the room with expansive and precisely positioned sound. Clear dialogue, impactful effects, and robust bass enhance the experience of movies, sports, gaming, and music to new levels.

360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates a three-dimensional audio environment around you
Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology forms virtual speakers around you, significantly expanding the sound field beyond the physical speakers. Sound reflects off walls and the ceiling, providing a natural and immersive surround experience across multiple listening positions.

Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced brings movie and series soundtracks to life exactly as intended by their creators. The system can later be complemented with compatible rear speakers and even two separate subwoofers to achieve an even larger surround sound experience.

Clear speech and powerful sound across all content
With its three-part design, the central speaker ensures clear reproduction of speech, while the left and right front speakers create a wide and balanced sound image.

The X-Balanced Speaker Unit reduces distortion and enhances bass performance, while upward-firing speakers add a sense of verticality to Dolby Atmos content.

Voice Zoom 3 uses artificial intelligence to detect human voices and highlight dialogue without compromising other audio elements. It also features night mode, speech mode, and the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), which enhances the audio quality of compressed music in real time.

Sound adapts automatically to your room
Sound Field Optimisation analyses the room’s acoustics and optimises sound automatically. With the included USB Type-C calibration microphone, the BRAVIA Connect app can fine-tune the sound to match your listening position, providing the most balanced listening experience tailored to your space.

Your perfect partner for a BRAVIA television
When connected to a compatible Sony BRAVIA television, the system works seamlessly as part of a whole. The sound settings are easily accessible directly from the television’s quick settings, allowing control of both the TV and audio system with a single remote thanks to the BRAVIA Sync function.

Its stylish and modern design completes your TV setup, and the speakers can also be wall-mounted.

Excellent for gaming too
HDMI 2.1 supports up to 8K and 4K/120 pass-through, along with variable refresh rates (VRR) and automatic low latency mode (ALLM). Dolby Vision preserves picture quality even in demanding HDR content.

PlayStation 5 users also benefit from Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode when the system is connected to a compatible BRAVIA television.

Stream music effortlessly and wirelessly
Bluetooth 6.0, Wi-Fi, and Apple AirPlay 2 enable direct music streaming from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Spotify Connect offers quick access to your favourite music without extra devices, while high-resolution audio support preserves music details accurately.
