Sony officially presented new audio solutions for its Bravia televisions, and it seems that the company wants to further simplify the construction of home theaters. The biggest novelty is the Bravia Theatre Trio system, which is designed to provide spatial Dolby Atmos sound without the need to set up large speakers around the living room. The manufacturer also showcased new Direct Connect technology that enables wireless connection of additional speakers to compatible televisions. Sony is focusing on its own solutions instead of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. The whole thing is complemented by a new My Cinema interface that allows for easier management of picture and audio settings. The company clearly wants to create a more modern and simpler home theater ecosystem.
Bravia Theatre Trio is set to offer cinematic sound without large audio setups
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 utilizes 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates virtual speakers distributed throughout the room. The setup can be expanded with additional subwoofers and rear surround speakers. During the presentation, Sony showcased a 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. Bravia Theatre Trio launches in Europe at a price of approximately 2339 euros.
Sony is developing its own wireless audio system for televisions
The second major novelty is Direct Connect technology for Bravia televisions. The system allows for the wireless connection of rear speakers and subwoofers 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 is currently not planning 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 separately save 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 settings.
Sony is increasingly developing its own audio ecosystem for Bravia televisions and is focusing on more wireless and smart solutions. Bravia Theatre Trio and Direct Connect aim to simplify the setup of a home theater while providing a more spatial sound without a large number of cables.
