Sony BRAVIA Theater Rear 9 Wireless Rear Speakers
Sony BRAVIA Theater Rear 9 speakers add wireless rear and height effects to a compatible Sony soundbar or, with compatible BRAVIA TV software, can connect directly to a TV. Their intended benefit depends on compatibility, so they are an add-on rather than a general-purpose standalone surround kit.
At a glance
- An 80 mm up-firing speaker is claimed to add reflected height effects when used with compatible systems.
- 360 Spatial Sound Mapping is described as creating phantom speakers around the listening area with compatible soundbars.
- The manufacturer lists compatibility with BRAVIA Theater Trio, Bar 9, Bar 8 and Bar 7, HT-A7000, HT-A5000, HT-A3000 and STR-AN1000.
- Compatible BRAVIA TVs with the latest software are claimed to support a direct wireless connection without a soundbar.
- The BRAVIA Connect app can guide setup and adjust volume and sound settings. A compatible BRAVIA TV remote can also control sound settings.
- An included wall-mount bracket is described as swivel-adjustable.
