Sony just announced pricing for a number of upcoming products, including the Bravia Theater Bar 6 soundbar.This 3.1.2-channel system costs $650 for US consumers.It comes with a wireless subwoofer and is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.The soundbar includes up-mixing tech to transform stereo content to 3D sound when immersive formats aren’t available.
Dialogue gets an upgrade here, thanks to a dedicated center speaker and an AI-powered tool called Voice Zoom 3.The beefier Bravia Theater System 6 is a 5.1-channel system that costs $770.This is an all-in-one setup that comes with a soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers.The included soundbar is not the Bar 6, despite the similar name.
However, it does support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.The subwoofer also features a slightly different design than the one that ships with the Bar 6.This system does offer stereo up-mixing to transform content into 3D audio via Sony’s proprietary algorithm.ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementThe Bravia Theater Rear 8 speakers are compatible with the company’s soundbars and work with its 360 Spatial Sound Mapping tech to calibrate the system to the acoustics of a specific living room.
The speakers cost $450.Having the pricing here is nice, but we still don’t have any official release dates.The current plan by Sony is to start selling these products later this spring.
