Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 - 7.0.2ch Soundbar HT-A9000
Flagship single soundbar with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, Sound Field Optimization, 2-way speaker, quad woofer and passive radiators, Dolby Atmos®/DTS:X®
Rewriting the rules of surround sound
Go beyond conventional surround sound. Combining physical and phantom speakers, BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 creates a wider surround sound field for outstanding immersion.
Makes everywhere the best seat
It doesn’t matter which seat you’re in. It doesn’t even matter what your room’s acoustics are like. Sound Field Optimization lets everyone experience movie theatre surround sound.
Innovative acoustic design with 13 speaker units
There’s more to great surround sound than signal processing alone. Your physical speakers need to deliver exceptional acoustic performance too – and BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 doesn’t disappoint.
So easy to use
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9 makes surround sound simple. From initial set-up to smartphone control, it's all about minimum effort, maximum enjoyment.
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.
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Stream music from your favourite services
It's not all about movies. You can also enjoy music in high-quality upmixed sound. Built-in support for Spotify Connect™ and Apple AirPlay lets you play all your favourite tracks.
