Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 creates a wider field of surround sound
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 combines physical and virtual speakers to create a wider surround sound field that immerses you deeper into each movie scene with an authentic cinema atmosphere. At the heart of the system is the innovative 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology for spatial sound, which is achieved by creating five virtual speakers in front of you. The sound bounces off the walls and ceiling, creating a cinema-like spatial effect. If you want to extend the sound field even further, add the optional rear speakers. Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 supports industry standards Dolby Atmos and DTS: X and is IMAX Enhanced certified, making it ideal for watching the latest titles on your favorite streaming services. Sound Field Optimisation technology automatically analyses the space and uses advanced signal processing to adjust the virtual speakers into a cinema-like layout. The BRAVIA Connect app also calibrates the sound to where you are in the room.
Connecting the soundbar and TV
Connect BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 to one of the latest BRAVIA TVs and unlock an exceptional audiovisual experience. Voice Zoom 3 technology uses AI machine learning to recognise human voices and amplify or suppress them for greater intelligibility. Every dialogue and comment remains perfectly clean. You can adjust the volume of the voices on the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 soundbar according to the content or your preferences. Thanks to seamless integration, the BRAVIA TV and soundbar can be controlled with one remote control. Audio settings are automatically displayed in the TV's Quick Settings menu, so you can easily adjust the sound field, volume and more. BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 is designed to match your BRAVIA TV.
Advanced signal processing and exceptional acoustic performance
The Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 uses a dual-band system that includes dedicated woofers and tweeters for the front left and right channels, delivering a wider soundstage and more precise localization. The full-range centre speaker ensures clear and natural dialogue. Upward-facing speakers bounce sound off the ceiling for an immersive overhead effect, while 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology creates virtual ceiling speakers for even more ambience. The side speakers reflect sound off the walls and fill the entire space, adding more dramatic range to the content you're watching. Despite its slim design, the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 soundbar features built-in woofers and passive radiators that produce deep, resonant bass like much larger speakers. The unique X-Balanced Speaker Unit design maximizes diaphragm area for punchy bass, reduces unwanted transducer movement and maintains acoustic pressure for lower distortion and higher clarity.
Easy setup via the app
The soundbar will be ready to use right out of the box. Install the BRAVIA Connect app on your phone and let us guide you through the step-by-step setup. In addition to simplified installation, you will get tips and options for day-to-day operation. Scan the QR code on the packaging with your phone and you're ready to go. With just one HDMI cable, you're connected in seconds. HDMI IN and HDMI OUT TV (eARC/ARC) are available.
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 offers sound modes for quality listening
Stereo content is transformed into rich surround sound using an innovative upmixer. AI Sound Separation recognizes human voices and enhances them to make every word sound clearer. With optional rear speakers, Multi Stereo mode plays sound from both front and rear channels simultaneously. The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 soundbar supports Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay, allowing you to stream music from your phone directly to the soundbar. Bluetooth makes it easy to play from your smartphone, tablet or laptop. DSEE Ultimate technology enhances compressed digital files and restores detail in real time.
Easy connection via HDMI 2.1
The soundbar fully supports HDMI 2.1 connectivity to maintain original picture quality up to 8K HDR. Dolby Vision delivers deeper contrast, vivid colours and realistic luminosity. PlayStation 5 game console users get exclusive features including Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode when paired with a compatible BRAVIA TV. VRR and ALLM gaming standards are supported in HDMI 2.1 as well as 8K and 4K120 passthrough.
Elegant soundbar with eco-friendly design
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 was not only designed with high performance in mind, but is also part of the Road To Zero initiative, which seeks to reduce environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle. Approximately 87% of the subwoofer fabric is made from recycled materials. Approximately 75% of the packaging consists of recycled paper and paper-based materials. For better accessibility, there are tactile points on the subwoofer to help visually impaired people find the QR code for the BRAVIA Connect app with screen reader. Tactile markings on the rear panel also highlight the eARC HDMI connector for connection to a TV.
System type
The soundbar can be either active or passive. Active systems have their own amplifier, so you don't have to worry about anything. On the other hand, passive speakers need an external amplifier to function, from which the sound is directed to the individual speakers.Number of channels
The number of channels a soundbar has is undoubtedly a key parameter in the quest for quality listening. This property refers to the number of independent audio signals that can be reproduced simultaneously. An example would be two-channel stereo sound, where each channel represents one ear. A classic TV soundbar is installed under the TV screen and only sends sound from the front, but with more sophisticated techniques you can simulate multi-channel (4/5/7.1) speaker sets to create surround sound. If the device includes real rear speakers, spatial localization is almost always more faithful and accurate.Specifications

| Manufacturer information |
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
