Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 with 9 Speakers, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X - HTA7100

Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 Soundbar

Between its nine speaker channels, Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, a soundbar like the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 7 surrounds listeners with sound, all from a single extra-large speaker. It's what's inside the speaker that stuns: the audio powerhouse is packed with up-firing channels, side-firing drivers and classic center channels as well … and they all come together to surround listeners with a 360 Spatial Sound Mapping experience. Phantom speakers from the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 bounce sound off of the ceiling to help listeners hear orchestral swells, booming action scenes and quiet moments at their most meaningful.

Extra Bass & Sound Field Optimization

While all nine speakers in the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 push beautiful highs and mids throughout your room, what about your lows? Sony would never leave you bassless; that's why the powerful soundbar features two built-in subs that move low frequencies throughout the space. With a traditional multi-channel sound system, knowing where to place everything in your area would be difficult. But the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 makes it easy with help from Sound Field Optimization. With Sound Field Optimization, soundbar tests the space it's in, calibrating how audio moves and reflects from nearby surfaces to create the perfect audio experience.

Great For Films & Gaming

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 7 soundbar helps users sink into the world onscreen, whether they're watching a classic film or playing video games. When combined with HDMI 2.1, the soundbar keeps picture quality preserved and supports all of the latest formats, including 8K.

Other upgrades include Bluetooth connectivity, DSEE (or Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) and BRAVIA Connect.
