(MALAYSIA, 14 April 2026) – Sony under its “Cinema is Coming Home” vision, launched new BRAVIA Theatre home audio products and the BRAVIA 3 II TV, offering more ways than ever to create a powerful cinema experience at home.

The new BRAVIA Theatre lineup includes BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 and BRAVIA Theatre Bar 5, as well as the optional speakers such as BRAVIA Theatre Sub 9, BRAVIA Theatre Sub 8, and BRAVIA Theatre Rear 9.

Soundbars that Fill the Room

The new BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 brings a compact, yet powerful design equipped with nine speaker units, including dedicated up-firing speakers and side speakers that create a noticeably wider sound field. With Sony’s proprietary 360 Spatial Sound Mapping-technology (360SSM), it provides immersive, cinema-style surround sound from a single soundbar, along with room-calibrated audio for an optimised listening experience. Users can further enhance their setup by adding optional subwoofers and rear speakers for deeper bass and a richer surround experience[i]. These upgrades also allow them to enjoy IMAX® Enhanced content at its full potential[ii]. This makes BRAVIA Theatre Bar 7 an ideal choice for customers new to home audio who care about sound quality and want a premium entry point.
