Product features (Sony HTA8000)

Ultimate surround with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping (Sony HTA8000)

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 8 creates up to 11 phantom speakers, including speakers behind you for that authentic cinema feel.1

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.2

Sound straight from cinema (Sony HTA8000)

Bring authentic cinema surround sound quality to your living room. BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 not only supports industry-standard formats including Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, but also has IMAX® Enhanced certification.

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.

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 Optimisation 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 cinema acoustics. Sound Field Optimisation analyses your room’s acoustic characteristics, then uses advanced signal processing to overwrite them with those of a cinema.

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 8 will detect your position in the room and optimise sound to suit.

New 2-way speaker

Discover clear, wide surround sound from a single soundbar. The Bar 8 features a new 2-way speaker with added tweeters for front and centre, delivering wider surround sound and a precise sound image.

Quad woofer delivers powerful bass

The Bar 8 may be slim but it delivers remarkably powerful, punchy bass thanks to a built-in quad woofer.

Side speakers fill the space with sound

Side speakers reflect wide directional sound off the walls, filling your entire room with expansive sound and giving entertainment a real sense of drama and scale. The ambient sound recognised by the algorithm contributes to the expansive sound too.

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 (Sony HTA8000)

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.

Set up in seconds

Simply plug in the Bar 8, 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

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

for an integrated look that saves you space.

TV and soundbar in perfect harmony

Step up to a completely cinematic experience. Acoustic Centre Sync enables the Bar 8 to use your compatible BRAVIA as a centre speaker. So sound comes from the screen, adjusted as part of one integrated speaker system.

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.

Effortless control with BRAVIA (Sony HTA8000)

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.
