Sound Quality
The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 combines physical and phantom speakers to create a wider surround sound field, drawing you deeper into every movie scene with cinematic prowess.
At its heart is Sony's innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology — the ultimate in home surround. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates five phantom speakers in front of you. Sound is reflected off your ceiling and walls for cinema-like surround sound from just the single soundbar. The coverage is wider than conventional virtual surround sound systems, so everyone can enjoy the same immersive effect, wherever they are in the room.
To expand your sound field even further, add the optional rear speakers. The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 will then create up to eleven phantom speakers, including those behind you, for an authentic movie theatre feel. Add one of Sony's optional subwoofers for powerful low frequencies and bring bigger scale and impact to every story.
With the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7, you will be bringing sound straight out of a cinema into your living room. Not only are industry-standard formats supported, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, but this soundbar is also IMAX Enhanced certified. Perfect for watching the latest releases on your favourite streaming services.
There's no need to rearrange your room to experience this cinematic surround sound — Sony's Sound Field Optimisation technology automatically analyses your space and uses advanced signal processing to set up your phantom speakers in a cinema-style layout. The BRAVIA Connect smartphone app will even calibrate the sound to suit where you are in the room, so the best seat in the house is wherever you are.
TV + Soundbar
Pair the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 with one of Sony's latest BRAVIA TVs to unlock an unmatched audio-visual experience.
Sony's Voice Zoom 3 technology uses AI machine learning to recognise human voices and amplify or reduce their volume for enhanced clarity. This makes every plot twist and commentary crystal-clear, with no more muffled lines. You can adjust voice volume according to what you're watching or your personal preferences.
Through seamless integration, a BRAVIA TV and soundbar can be controlled from a single remote. Your sound settings will automatically appear on the TV's Quick Settings menu, so you can quickly and easily control your Sound Field, volume, and more.
Designed to complement each other, the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 matches the sophisticated look of your BRAVIA TV.
Acoustic Design
Beyond its impressive signal processing, the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7's physical speakers deliver an exceptional acoustic performance.
The new two-way speaker system features dedicated woofers and tweeters for the front left and right channels, delivering a wider sound field with more precise sound positioning.
It is equipped with a full-range centre speaker, ensuring clear, natural dialogue.
Up-firing speakers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio, whilst Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom ceiling speakers for added atmosphere.
Side speakers reflect wide directional sound off the walls, filling your entire space with expansive audio, and giving everything you watch a larger sense of drama and scale.
And don't be fooled by its slimline design — the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 includes built-in woofers and passive radiators, generating the type of deep, resonating bass you'd expect from much larger speakers.
Sony's unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit design specifically maximises the diaphragm area for punchy bass, and it also reduces driver excursion and maintains sound pressure to ensure less distortion and greater clarity.
UX
The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 makes surround sound simple, offering an out-of-box experience.

From movies to music, the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 supports multiple sound modes to fill your room with immersive audio, whatever you decide to play.
Stereo content is transformed into rich surround sound, as Sony's innovative upmixer uses an expert algorithm to extract and redistribute individual audio objects all around you. While upmixing, AI Sound Separation processing detects human voices and makes them sound clearer, so you can feel every emotion in every lyric.
When you have optional rear speakers connected, Multi Stereo enhances your listening experience by playing the same sound from the front (L/R/Centre) and rear speakers. Ideal for entertaining, you and your guests will feel the perfectly synchronised sound reverberate with greater intensity.
