Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9

Review Sony Theater Bar 9

I was able to test a soundbar in my household for a number of weeks through Review. I am someone who would normally not buy a soundbar, as I have a surround set in my household and am satisfied with it. But this soundbar was a combination test with the Sony Bravia 9 television and that is why I used it.

First of all, it is a very high-quality soundbar, it has a good weight, it contains 13 speakers that create a virtual surround effect in the living room and this soundbar does this surprisingly well. If you are going to use the soundbar, a number of steps must be taken to set everything up properly. This is done via an app on the mobile phone and from there the functions are run through one by one, with the result that the room is 'read' by means of a sound test, with which the speaker knows where the listening position is and can therefore deliver the best sound. I am enthusiastic about the shape and that a wide sound image is provided from 1 speaker, my wife would immediately go for it instead of the large front columns and surround speakers that are now there. What I do miss a bit is the deep bass sounds, they are present, but just not enough for me. An expansion is possible with a separate subwoofer and 2 surround speakers, which are connected wirelessly. I am pleasantly surprised for a single speaker and if I have to make a choice in the future when there is less space available in the living room, this is a good alternative to a surround set.
