FEATURES

Ultimate surround with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping


Experience the ultimate in home surround. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates 5 phantom speakers in front of you and reflects sound off the ceiling and walls, enabling cinema-style surround sound from a single soundbar.

Enjoy wider surround sound coverage


Now 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.

Unleash the full potential of 360 Spatial Sound Mapping


Add optional wireless rear speakers for an even more expansive sound stage. Working with the rear speakers, the Bar 9 creates up to 11 phantom speakers[FN|The number of phantom speakers differs depending on rear speaker combination.], including speakers behind you for that authentic cinema feel.

Add a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers for fuller, richer sound


To complete the cinematic experience, combine Sony’s optional wireless rear speakers with an optional subwoofer and enjoy sound with even greater impact.[FN|Optional wireless speakers’ availability varies by country/region.]

Sound straight from cinema


Bring authentic cinema surround sound quality to your living room. BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, but also has IMAX® Enhanced certification.[FN|IMAX® Enhanced certification is achieved when used with compatible products. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/comp-home/]

IMAX® Enhanced sound by DTS:X


You can enjoy a truly cinematic experience with select Disney+ titles on BRAVIA and BRAVIA Theatre, powered by IMAX Enhanced technology.[FN|Disney+ subscription required. IMAX Enhanced sound available for select content only. Disney+ is subject to regional availability.][FN|IMAX® Enhanced certification is achieved when used with compatible products. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/comp-home/]

Upmix stereo content to surround sound


Sony's new upmixer delivers rich surround sound even from stereo content. Its innovative algorithm extracts and redistributes individual audio objects to immerse you in 3D sound. While upmixing, AI Sound Separation processing detects human voices and makes them sound clearer.

Speaker placement made simple


Adding rear speakers? Don’t worry about finding the perfect position. Sound Field Optimization calibrates sound based on their location and uses phantom speakers to fill any gaps in the surround stage.

Calibrated to suit your room


No need to remodel your home to get movie theatre acoustics. Sound Field Optimization analyses your room's acoustic characteristics, then uses advanced signal processing to overwrite them with those of a movie theatre.

The best seat is where you are


Enjoy quality surround sound wherever you're sitting. Just run calibration with our smartphone app, BRAVIA Connect, and BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 will detect your position in the room and optimise sound to suit.[FN|Image is for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect the final design.]

New 2-way speaker


Discover clear, wide surround sound from a single soundbar. The Bar 9 features a new 2-way speaker with added tweeters for front and centre, delivering wider surround sound and a precise sound image.

Quad woofer and passive radiators deliver deep bass


Don’t be fooled by the slimline design. Thanks to built-in quad woofers and passive radiators, the Bar 9 generates the type of deep, resonant bass you’d expect from much larger speakers.

Side speakers and beam tweeters for expansive sound


For added atmosphere, side speakers fill your living space with wide directional sound while beam tweeters expand the sound stage by reflecting directional high frequency sound off the walls.

Hear sound from overhead


Up-firing speakers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom ceiling speakers for even more atmospheric sound.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit


The speakers’ 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.

Do it all with BRAVIA Connect[FN|Sony | BRAVIA Connect app must be installed on a smartphone. The smartphone and the product must be connected to the same home network via wireless LAN (Wi-Fi®)/Internet.]


The BRAVIA Connect smartphone app guides you through initial settings, assists with troubleshooting, and lets you control volume, sound field and more. It also notifies you about software updates and lets you control a compatible TV too.[FN|This function works with compatible BRAVIA and the latest software. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/hav_faq][FN|Updating the mobile app to the latest version is required.]

Set up in seconds


Simply plug in the Bar 9, connect to your TV using HDMI, and power on. With LAN, HDMI IN and HDMI OUT (eARC), you’re all set to enjoy a new spatial surround sound experience.

Accessible for all


To help people who are blind or have low vision set up the soundbar, tactile dots indicate a QR code[FN|QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED in Japan and in other countries/regions.] for the BRAVIA Connect app, which offers screen reader support. Tactile dots on the back panel indicate the eARC HDMI terminal for connecting to a TV.

Space-saving design


The supplied spacer allows the soundbar to sit tidily over the TV stand[FN|Applicable TV models when the TV stand is set to outside position: BRAVIA 9 (85"/ 75"/ 65"), BRAVIA8 (77"), BRAVIA7 (85"/ 75"). BRAVIA availability varies by country and region.][FN|Applicable TV models  when the TV stand is set to inside position: BRAVIA 9 (85"/ 75"/ 65"), BRAVIA8 (77"/65"/55"), BRAVIA7 (85"/75"/65"/55"). BRAVIA availability varies by country and region. ] for an integrated look that saves you space.

TV and soundbar in perfect harmony


Step up to a completely cinematic experience. Acoustic Center Sync enables the Bar 9 to use your compatible BRAVIA as a centre speaker. So sound comes from the screen, adjusted as part of one integrated speaker system.[FN|This function works with compatible BRAVIA. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/hav_faq]

Crystal clear voice. Precise dialogue.


No more muffled voices. Combined with compatible BRAVIA, our new 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.[FN|This function works with compatible BRAVIA. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/hav_faq][FN|Future firmware update on BRAVIA is required.]

Effortless control with BRAVIA


Control surround sound easily with your BRAVIA TV remote. Sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu for easy control of features, like Sound Field and volume.[FN|This function works with compatible BRAVIA. Product availability varies by countries/regions. https://www.sony.net/hav_faq][FN|Simulated UI. The image varies by countries/regions and products.]
