With its many features and the immersive audio rendering it offers, the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 is a soundbar that can be easily recommended. This is all the more the case when it is available on promotion, like at the moment: Cobra is indeed offering it at 690 euros instead of 990 euros.
If you want your TV evenings to be more immersive, buying a soundbar remains the best option, especially since it often succeeds in compensating for the somewhat weak sound of a television, however efficient it may be. Currently, the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 can be a good choice: not only for its Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatibility and its many features, but also and above all for its very attractive price, which drops by 300 euros during this preview of Black Friday.
The highlights of the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8
- A Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Hi-Res Audio compatible soundbar
- 11 built-in speakers
- La technologie 360 Spatial Sound Mapping
Initially priced at 990 euros, the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 soundbar is currently offered at 690 euros at Boulanger.
A well-equipped soundbar
The Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 soundbar is a fairly imposing model with its length of 110 cm, its height of 6 cm and its depth of 11 cm; despite this, it remains sober enough to slip (almost) discreetly under a TV. Sony obliges, the finishes are in any case very neat. As you will probably have noticed, this soundbar does not come with a subwoofer, which is a bit of a shame, but you can always add one, or even a pair of wireless rear speakers if need.
On the connectivity side, Sony didn’t do things by halves and equipped its soundbar with Wi-Fi, which allows us to benefit from connected functions such as AirPlay 2 and Chromecast; as well as Bluetooth 5.2 and SBC, AAC and even LDAC codecs. We can also count on the presence of an HDMI 2.1 (eARC) input and output offering compatibility with 4K video streams at 120 fps, but also 8K at 60 fps.
Features that enhance the experience
The Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 also has a total of 11 speakers and is configured in 5.0.2: the existence of these horizontal and vertical channels allows the sound to be directed in many directions in order to immerse the user. in a bubble and broadcast a very immersive surround effect. And to maximize this immersion, Sony thought of making this soundbar compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. While the first technology guarantees vast and immersive sound, the second gives the sound an even more vertical dimension. This results in very pleasant 3D sound effects during home cinema sessions.
The soundbar is also Hi-Res Audio certified, and therefore compatible with high definition audio. But that’s not all: we also find 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for an even more enveloping sound and therefore a much wider soundstage. And so that the soundbar adapts perfectly to your room, Sony has opted for an acoustic calibration system, accessible from the brand’s application, to optimize the sound according to your position. And if you have a Sony Bravia TV, you can take advantage of the Acoustic Center Sync function, which allows you to operate the speakers of the TV and those of the concert soundbar for even more powerful sound.
