360 Spatial Sound
Sony's 360 Spatial Sound technology helps the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 fill your room with theater-like sound. Working with industry-standard audio, such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced, an array of 13 drivers create phantom speakers that reflect audio all around you.
Room Calibration
Using Sony's Sound Field Optimization feature, the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 can automatically calibrate audio settings based on your specific room size, its acoustic characteristics, and your listening position.
Add More Speakers
Even with the impressive results of the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 by itself, you can add additional speakers for more precise surround sound and booming bass. The Bar 9 is compatible with Sony's SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 wireless subwoofers, and SA-RS3R and SA-RS5 rear speakers.
Get More with a BRAVIA TV
Using the Acoustic Center Sync feature, BRAVIA TV owners can connect to the HT-A9000 soundbar and combine it with the built-in speakers of the TV. The technology is designed to utilize the TV speakers to enhance the center channel, delivering clearer dialogue to movies and TV shows. It also lets you control the soundbar's settings directly from the TV menu.
Hi-End Gaming
Play games in 4K with a smooth 120 Hz refresh, while benfitting from HDMI 2.1 features, such as VRR, ALLM, SBTM, and Dolby Vision HDR. VRR and ALLM give automatic refresh and latency adjustment for stutter-free visuals. Consoles with HDR can use either standard HDR, Dolby Vision, or SBTM, which offers supported consoles the ability to customize HDR settings to fit the game being played. If you own a PS5, added benefits include auto tone mapping and auto genre picture mode enhanced graphics.
BRAVIA Connect App
Initial setup of the Bar 9 is a breeze when you download the BRAVIA Connect app to your smartphone. After you're up and running, you can continue to use the app to control volume, select sound profiles, and access advanced features.
Streaming Music
Play your favorite music services with support for Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth wireless streaming. The BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 is capable of playing back high-resolution audio and up-mixing low-res tracks using DSEE Ultimate.
Eco-Friendly
Construction of the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 is made to have minimal impact on the environment. This is thanks to Sony using approximately 65% less virgin plastic in the construction of the soundbar and its packaging. Also, the fabrics are made from recycled PET plastic bottles.

Sony Bar 9 Reviews
Never going back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never had a large soundbar like this before, but I LOVE it! It provides a surround sound experience without having speakers need to be placed around the room and it’s compact but still is aesthetically pleasing so it will have a great spot on my mantle. It connected seamlessly to my TV and phone and I’m very excited to keep using it for both music and watching TV.
Good but could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pretty sure that there are better sound systems out there. We can hardly tell if the sound is coming from the TV speaker or the Sony BRAVIA Bar. There is no difference. We try to change the bass and the sound field/night mode, but it’s still not much of a difference. The remote control stopped working after two weeks (we added brand new batteries in). Before the remote control went bad, there was no telling that the remote is doing what we’re pressing. Nothing is showing up on the screen to indicate the volume has gone up or down. If we press any of the other options, the sound would pause (cut off) and then come back. We took that as an indication that the remote is doing what we wanted to do. But, again, the remote does not work anymore and I uploaded the BRAVIA app to use instead of the remote. Sometimes, the sound bar won’t connect to my phone and I have to keep retrying until it connects. The plus thing is we can control the volume using the TV’s remote control, but we can’t use any of the other options.
It’s also important to note that i installation steps weren’t easy to follow. I ended up looking up the steps online to understand the parts and how they work.
