Sony BRAVIA HTA8 Theatre Trio Flagship Three-Unit Theatre System - 360 Spatial Sound
Transform your home viewing with the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Trio HT-A8 3.0.2 Channel Home Cinema System. Combining a dedicated centre speaker bar with two wireless front left and right speakers equipped with up-firing drivers, this unique three-piece setup bridges the gap between a conventional soundbar and a multi-speaker surround system without the complexity of an AV receiver or trailing cables across your living room. Powered by Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and Sound Field Optimisation, the HT-A8 creates multiple virtual phantom speakers tailored specifically to your room's acoustic layout. With full support for Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X®, and IMAX® Enhanced, dialogue stays razor-sharp from the central speaker while dynamic audio effects envelop you from every angle. KEY FEATURES 360 spatial sound mapping - the ultimate in home surround. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates phantom speakers in front of and around you and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls, enabling cinema-style surround sound from a three-piece system. Wider surround coverage - 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. Authentic cinema surround sound - BRAVIA Theatre Trio HT-A8 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, but also has IMAX® Enhanced certification. Calibrated to suit your room - Sound Field Optimization analyses your room's acoustic characteristics using the included calibration microphone, then uses advanced signal processing to overwrite them with those of a movie theatre. 3-Piece Wireless Architecture - includes 1 central unit and 2 wireless front left/right speakers equipped with up-firing drivers, producing a wider and more realistic front soundstage without trailing speaker wires. X-balanced speaker unit - 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. Bravia TV synergy - integrates seamlessly with compatible Sony BRAVIA TVs to enable Voice Zoom 3™ for enhanced dialogue clarity and TV Centre Speaker Mode. HDMI 2.1 capability - supports pass-through features including 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision®, and up to 8K HDR pass-through to ensure original picture quality is preserved.
