Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 Preview

Sony has a long and successful history of delivering cutting-edge technology and quality electronics at reasonable prices. The BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 is a great sound bar on its own or when paired with a BRAVIA TV.

Sony’s BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 is a 3.1.2 channel sound bar with HDMI eARC for easy integration with TVs and home theater displays. It supports codecs up to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with three front-firing and two up-firing speakers plus an outboard wireless subwoofer. Power is rated at 35 watts for the bar and another 20 watts for the subwoofer. It melds seamlessly with Sony BRAVIA displays for control via the TV’s remote or the BRAVIA Connect app. Music can be streamed via Bluetooth as well.

Sony takes ease of installation to a high level with its BRAVIA Theater Bar 6. It integrates easily with BRAVIA TVs and other displays, too. HDMI eARC means only one cable is needed. A wireless subwoofer brings the low frequencies and only requires power from a wall outlet. The BRAVIA Connect app sets everything up and measures the distance to the listener in a routine that lasts only a few minutes. Once done, the Theater Bar 6 can be controlled by the display’s remote. Legacy displays can use an optical input. The bar has three front-firing speakers along with two more on top for the ambient effects provided by the latest codecs like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. You can also stream music over Bluetooth, which makes the bar an all-in-one component.
