Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 3.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer

Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 is a 3.1-channel home theater soundbar supplied with a wireless subwoofer. Its dedicated center channel is intended to keep dialogue distinct, while Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and virtual surround processing are listed for a broader sound field. Bluetooth streaming and remote control round out the listed features.

At a glance

A dedicated center channel is designed to give voices a clear place in the mix.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X processing, plus Sony virtual surround features, aim to create a wider and more spatial presentation from the soundbar.
The wireless subwoofer is listed with a 160 mm speaker unit for added bass.
Bluetooth supports wireless music streaming from a smartphone or other compatible device.
The included remote offers sound-mode and bass adjustments. A smartphone app is also described for setup and control.
Voice Zoom 3 is described for use with compatible BRAVIA TVs, so that function depends on the television.
