Rather than packing all speakers into a single soundbar, the Theater Trio separates the sound into three wireless units: a center speaker bar that sits under your TV and two wireless front tower speakers that flank the screen. This three-point configuration expands the soundstage far beyond the edges of even the largest displays, creating a vast, room-filling wall of sound that envelops you from the moment you press play. Created in close collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, the BRAVIA Theater Trio brings studio-crafted sound into your home, capturing the emotion and detail that filmmakers envisioned during production. This isn't just a marketing partnership — Sony Pictures sound engineers contributed directly to the acoustic tuning, ensuring that movies sound exactly as their creators intended when played through this system. The Theater Trio features 9 total speakers distributed across the three units, with Sony's acclaimed 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creating up to 24 phantom speakers in a cinema-style layout. The system simulates both direct sound from the screen and ambient reflected sound from all around you — including overhead Dolby Atmos height effects — delivering an immersive surround experience that goes beyond conventional surround sound. The surround field stretches wider than the screen itself, pulling you into every scene with cinematic immersion that single-bar soundbars simply cannot match. Sound Field Optimization takes calibration to the next level with an included USB-C calibration microphone. Place the mic at your listening position, run the calibration, and the system automatically analyzes your room's unique acoustics and optimizes the audio output for your specific space — ensuring that every phantom speaker is positioned precisely for maximum immersion at your seat. AI Sound Separation intelligently isolates voices from background audio and up-mixes stereo content into rich, detailed surround sound for clearer dialogue and more immersive music playback. The system supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and carries IMAX Enhanced certification. Voice Zoom 3™ uses AI to enhance dialogue clarity when paired with a compatible BRAVIA TV. HDMI 2.1 supports 8K HDR, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, and Dolby Vision for cutting-edge gaming on PS5. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay provide comprehensive wireless streaming. The BRAVIA Connect app handles setup, calibration, and everyday control from your phone. A supplied spacer allows the center bar to sit tidily over the TV stand for an integrated look, and included wall-mount brackets with swivel adjustment enable precise angling of the tower speakers toward the listening position. The system is expandable with optional wireless rear speakers (Rear 8 or Rear 9) and subwoofers (Sub 7, Sub 8, or Sub 9) with dual subwoofer capability.

• Three-Unit Wireless Home Theater System: The BRAVIA Theater Trio breaks free from the single-soundbar mold with three wireless units: a center speaker that anchors dialogue beneath your TV, plus two wireless front speakers that flank the screen. The result is a wide, room-filling soundstage scaled for today's biggest TVs, with far less cable clutter.
• 360 Spatial Sound Mapping & 24 Phantom Speakers: Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping analyzes your room and generates up to 24 phantom speakers, placing sound precisely all around you without extra hardware. Movies, shows and music feel enveloping and three-dimensional, immersing you far beyond what the three physical units suggest.
• Dolby Atmos, DTS:X & IMAX Enhanced: Enjoy immersive, object-based Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks that place effects above and around you for true cinematic height and depth. IMAX Enhanced certification means the system is tuned to deliver IMAX's signature powerful, detailed sound with compatible content and devices.
• Clear Dialogue & a Screen-Filling Soundstage: A dedicated center speaker keeps voices crisp and locked to the screen, even during loud action, while the wireless left and right speakers spread effects wide across the room. Together they create a big, believable soundstage purpose-built to match large-screen TVs.
• BRAVIA Connect App & Expandable Sound: Set up, calibrate and fine-tune the system with Sound Field Optimization and the Sony BRAVIA Connect app, and control it with your BRAVIA TV remote. Crafted with Sony Pictures Entertainment, the Trio also expands with optional wireless subwoofers and rear speakers as your setup grows.
