Q: where can I find the floor stands for these speakers?
A: Hi there, Thanks for sending your question. We're happy to assist you with this today! If you’re looking for floor stands for the SA-RS8 speakers, Sony doesn’t currently offer official floor stands made specifically for this model. The speakers are designed to be placed on a shelf or mounted on the wall, but if you’d prefer to use floor stands, you can check out third-party options. Just make sure the stands are compatible with the size and mounting style of the SA-RS8. We sincerely appreciate you considering a Sony product! Best regards, Estefany
A: Hi there, While the BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 speakers are highly flexible, we do not recommend mounting them 5 feet above your head. For the best and most accurate surround sound effect, it is generally recommended to place rear speakers at or slightly above ear level when you are seated. Mounting them too high can cause the sound to feel unnatural and disconnected from the main listening area. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
A: Hi Bravia8bar, The BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 wireless speakers (model SA-RS8) are officially compatible with the BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 (HT-A8000). These speakers are designed to work together to unlock the full potential of Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates an expansive, cinematic surround sound experience by simulating up to 11 phantom speakers around you. For the subwoofer, the BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 is officially compatible with the SA-SW3 and the SA-SW5 wireless subwoofers. All compatible optional speakers are connected and configured wirelessly using the Sony | BRAVIA Connect app for easy setup and operation. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: do these speakers come with wall mount kit?
A: Hi there, Thanks for reaching out about the SA-RS8 speakers! We can certainly assist you with that. The screws or any complex wall mount kit are not included in the box. You'll get the speakers and the power cords, but you'll need to supply your own screws for the keyhole mount or a separate articulating bracket if you want them to extend out from the wall. You can learn more about this unit on our site. We've added more helpful details at the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/208587/v1/en/index.html We really appreciate you thinking of Sony for your purchase! Best regards, Estefany
A: Hi Howard, Thank you for your question. The BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 speakers do not include a stand, but they are compatible with general speaker stands that use an M5 screw. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
A: Hi MB, Thanks for the question. In regard to your concern, the SARS8-Wireless Speakers do not have a built-in battery, as they require to be powered through the AC cable they come with directly to an power outlet. We hope this information comes helpful, thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, DiegoV
A: Hi Smhunter1983, These are great pre-sales questions about the flexibility of the BRAVIA Theater Rear 8 wireless rear speakers. Powering: The speakers are required to be powered via the included AC power cord. They must be plugged into a wall outlet to function. Wireless Use: The speakers do not have a built-in battery. The term "wireless" refers only to the transmission of the audio signal from the compatible soundbar or TV. If you are looking for Sony rear speakers with built-in batteries for true, temporary cord-free placement, please check out the Sony SA-RS5 model, as those are specifically designed with this feature. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: Do these work with hot-a7000 soundbar? How do they compare to the rs5 versions?
A: Hi Basicuser, The key difference between the Rear 8 (SA-RS8) and the older SA-RS5 speakers is that the SA-RS5 model features built-in batteries and up-firing speakers. The batteries allow the RS5s to be placed anywhere temporarily without a power cable for up to 10 hours, while the up-firing drivers in the RS5s provide a dedicated channel for overhead audio (like Dolby Atmos). The Rear 8 (SA-RS8) is a powerful, high-performance option but requires continuous AC power and does not include the dedicated up-firing driver. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
