(Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 7 April 2025): Sony today unveiled the 2025 line-up of BRAVIA Theatre home audio products, meticulously crafted to bring the best out of the cinematic experience with immersive surround sound engineered to perfectly suit the home cinema setup. The new BRAVIA Theatre line-up addresses the differences between cinema and home viewing environments. Cinemas utilise numerous speakers positioned on the ceiling and walls to create an immersive localised sound field. With BRAVIA Theatre, you can experience a comparable cinematic audio experience in your own home. The new range includes the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 (3.1.2ch s oundbar with a wireless subwoofer) and the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 (5.1ch home theatre system), which deliver a standalone immersive cinematic audio experience. In addition, the BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 (rear speakers) and the BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 (subwoofer) provide a wide range of sub speaker options when they connect to a compatible soundbar [i] such as BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 to even more accurately channel the cinematic experience at home. These four new BRAVIA Theatre products deliver the intent of film sound designers, bringing the authenticity of the cinema-like sound to the comfort of the living room. On top of that, Sony is introducing new BRAVIA TVs as well as a new BRAVIA home cinema projector, further solidifying its commitment to expanding the BRAVIA range covering a whole spectrum of home entertainment devices.
Sony ' s wide variety of products such as digital cinema cameras, professional monitors have been widely utilised by film production professionals, allowing the company to deeply understand the cinema industry and the intention of filmmakers and content creators. The new line-up of BRAVIA TVs, soundbars and home cinema projectors connects creators and viewers, allowing the ultimate cinematic experience to shine in the comfort of the home as the filmmaker intended.
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 is a 3.1.2ch soundbar offering immersive surround sound and clear dialogue. Also, it packs a wireless subwoofer to deliver a well-balanced bass sound. Dolby Atmos® / DTS:X® realises powerful, cinematic surround sound. Additionally, Sony ' s Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats, too. With Sony's unique upmixer technology, you can experience three-dimensional surround sound not only with surround sound format content, but also with stereo content. For clear dialogue and a precise sound image, a dedicated centre speaker ensures crystal-clear voice reproduction in every scene . If you pair the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 with a compatible BRAVIA TV [ii] , Sony ' s 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.
BRAVIA Theatre System 6
BRAVIA Theatre System 6 is an all-in-one 5.1ch 1000W powerful sound ​ system with a subwoofer, delivering a deeper, richer, and well-balanced sound. The 5.1ch speaker setup brings depth, clarity, and weight to audio, while the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support realises immersive multi-dimensional soundscapes. It is powered by Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround that brings films to life as the creators intended, lending a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats, too. Similarly to BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6, this home cinema system boasts Voice Zoom 3 ™ [iii] , using AI-driven algorithms to ensure even speech sounds are loud and clear. For more exciting immersion, Multi Stereo allows to replicate stereo sound from left/right to centre/rears for a multi-directional sound boost.
BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 and BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7
BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 and BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 are optional speakers that can elevate your current home cinema setup. You can enrich your cinematic sound by wirelessly connecting BRAVIA Theatre Rear 8 to a compatible soundbar [iv] to create an enhanced 360 spatial sound experience that is optimised for a specific home setting using Sony ' s unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping-technology. BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7 will add that extra low-end to make you feel – not just hear – the frenetic action on the screen. BRAVIA Theatre Sub 7's slim and compact design allows for two-way installation options iv . The optional speakers boast a high-quality design that will complement a variety of living spaces visually.
Seamless integration with BRAVIA TVs
By combining a BRAVIA TV with a BRAVIA Theatre home audio product, you can enjoy a seamless experience to focus on what matters the most – amazing films and shows. For maximum ease of use, you can control BRAVIA and BRAVIA Theatre from your smartphone. With the BRAVIA Connect app, you can adjust volume and settings and even check your set up without using the remote or on-screen menu. You can also control both BRAVIA and BRAVIA Theatre on one screen without switching the remotes. Alternatively, it is possible to control features such as sound field and volume using just the TV remote. With an integrated UI, soundbar sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu.
BRAVIA Theatre home audio products and environment
Reducing virgin plastic usage:

The fabric [vi] used in the BRAVIA Theatre home audio products is recycled from PET [vii] bottles. The material was carefully selected for optimum sound quality, design, texture, and colour.
