Sony has officially presented new audio solutions for its Bravia televisions, and it seems the company aims to further simplify the construction of home cinemas. The biggest novelty is the Bravia Theatre Trio system, which is designed to provide Dolby Atmos spatial sound without the need to set up large speakers throughout the living room. The manufacturer also showcased a new technology called Direct Connect, enabling wireless connection of additional speakers to compatible televisions. Sony is focusing on its own solutions instead of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. This is complemented by the new My Cinema interface, which allows for more convenient management of picture and audio settings. The company clearly wants to create a more modern and simpler home cinema ecosystem.
Bravia Theatre Trio is set to offer cinema sound without large audio systems
The Bravia Theatre Trio consists of a compact soundbar serving as the central channel and two wireless satellite speakers. The system supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced. Sony also employs 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which aims to create virtual speakers positioned throughout the room. The setup can be expanded with additional subwoofers and rear surround speakers. During the presentation, Sony showcased the full configuration with additional Rear 9 and Sub 9, which was intended to provide a very spacious effect during action scenes from the film No Time to Die. The Bravia Theatre Trio launches in Europe at a price of around 2339 euros.
Sony develops its own wireless audio system for televisions
The second major novelty is the Direct Connect technology for Bravia TVs. The system allows rear speakers and subwoofers to be wirelessly connected directly to compatible Sony televisions. The television then handles the front channels and central sound, while the additional speakers create a surround sound effect. Sony admitted that it currently has no plans to implement Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, as the company wants to develop its own audio solutions. The manufacturer also showcased the new My Cinema interface, which will allow users to save separate picture and sound settings for different streaming applications. Users will be able to create their own viewing profiles tailored to specific situations and quickly switch between them without delving deeply into the television's settings.
Sony is increasingly developing its own audio ecosystem for Bravia televisions, focusing on more wireless and intelligent solutions. Bravia Theatre Trio and Direct Connect are designed to simplify the construction of home cinemas while simultaneously providing a more spatial sound without a large number of cables.
