Sony Bravia Trio: Cinema Sound Without Clutter
9 Jul
Summary
- The Trio offers a 3.0.2-channel configuration with three front-facing speakers.
- Sony's calibration tech simulates phantom speakers for immersive audio.
- Priced at $2,200, it targets high-end home theater enthusiasts.
Sony's Bravia Theater Trio system offers a unique approach to immersive home audio, featuring a three-speaker, front-facing design that minimizes room clutter while aiming for cinema-quality sound.
This 3.0.2-channel system utilizes proprietary technologies like Sound Field calibration and 360 Sound Mapping to create simulated surround effects, effectively replacing the need for rear speakers in many environments. Each speaker houses upfiring drivers for Dolby Atmos, contributing to a powerful and clear audio profile.
The Trio system supports advanced audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, along with modern connectivity options including Bluetooth, AirPlay, and HDMI 2.1 features like 4K/120Hz pass-through. Its design is lauded for its aesthetic appeal, blending seamlessly into living spaces.
While the Trio performs exceptionally well on its own, Sony suggests pairing it with additional Bravia rear speakers and subwoofers for an even more potent experience, particularly in larger spaces. However, the system's full capabilities are best realized in appropriately sized rooms to avoid overwhelming smaller areas.
