Sony BRAVIA Theater Rear 9
Sony BRAVIA Theater Rear 9 wireless rear speakers are designed to expand compatible BRAVIA Theater and HT-Series soundbars with bigger, more immersive surround sound. Built for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, these premium rear speakers help create multiple phantom speakers around the room, adding greater width, depth, and positional accuracy for movies, gaming, and streaming audio. Each speaker uses aluminum diaphragm drivers for clear, low-distortion sound, while integrated tweeter, woofer, up-firing speaker, and passive radiator components work together to deliver detailed highs, room-filling surround effects, and deeper bass performance. With an 80 mm up-firing speaker adding natural overhead dimension, the SA-RS9 is a strong upgrade for home theater setups that want more cinematic Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersion.
