Sony Bravia Theatre Quad Wireless Cinema System
With the Sony Bravia Theatre Quad HT-A9M2 you get to enjoy true surround sound, with maximum, wireless convenience and inimitable Sony style.
True Surround Sound, Made Easy: The Sony Bravia Theatre Quad uses four, wireless speakers and a compact control hub for effortless surround sound. Simply connect your TV, and one other AV source, to the control hub, place the wireless speakers around you and, within minutes of unboxing, you'll be enjoying powerful surround sound.
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced Compatible: Featuring up-firing speakers, each of the four surround speakers is compatible with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced formats. Up-firing speakers help create a more voluminous sound, with overhead effects – such as a helicopter – sounding more realistic than ever. Combined with an Atmos or DTS:X soundtrack, the 3D sound will have you ducking for cover.
Unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping Technology, with 'Phantom' Speakers: Making the most of the Atmos/DTS:X compatibility, each speaker uses a built-in dual microphone to measure their position within the room. 360 Sound Mapping then creates up to 12 'phantom' speakers, giving you an even more enveloping sound – without increasing the actual speaker count.
Optimised Sound – In Any Room: Thanks to Sound Field Optimisation, you don't need to rearrange your room for the best sound quality. Simply unbox, plug in and perform Easy Setup from the TV's home menu. Perfect sound, straight out of the box.
3-Way Speakers with X-Balanced Drivers for Exceptional Sound Quality: Featuring 3-way speakers, the Bravia Theatre Quad delivers crystal-clear and dynamic sound. Sony's X-Balanced speaker units differ from regular speakers in their unique, rectangular shape. This shape maximises the cone area, giving more punch per cm2. The design also reduces driver excursion, meaning you get less distortion and greater vocal clarity. Whether you're playing music or movies, X-Balanced speakers simply deliver more.
Use your Sony TV as a Centre Speaker: For the best experience, pair with a compatible Sony Bravia TV and enjoy Acoustic Centre Sync. This uses the TV's built-in speakers as the dialogue, or centre speaker, helping to firmly locate the sound to the picture.
Optional Subwoofers for Even Greater Bass Power: Take the sound to a deeper dimension by adding an optional subwoofer. The optional SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 models connect seamlessly and, like the surround speakers, use a wireless connection. With power outputs of 200 watts and 300 watts, respectively, expect edge-of-your-seat cinema style thrills.
The Latest Gaming – Made Awesome: With HDMI 2.1 support, this Sony is covered for all your gaming essentials. Support for passing through 4K/120Hz, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and Dolby Vision signals ensures responsive gameplay and vibrant colour. Connect to your PS5 and you get to unlock exclusive features. Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode mean your PS5 is served better than ever by this Sony surround sound system.
Stream your Music with Wireless Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and Spotify: More than just a boost for your TV's sound, the Sony Bravia Theatre Quad also transforms your music playback. Built-in Spotify Connect (premium Spotify account required) lets you seamlessly listen to all your favourites from this popular music streaming app. AirPlay 2 compatibility makes it easy to connect to your Apple device and stream audio directly from it. For a quick and easy link with almost any smartphone or tablet, Bluetooth connectivity is also included.
Hi-Res Sound, Plus DSEE Enhancement: Compatibility with Hi-Res sound gives you 'better than CD sound' from high-resolution music files. Stream over Wi-Fi and enjoy the highest sound quality from your DSD, FLAC and WAV files. DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) Ultimate upscales your existing music to near Hi-Res quality, in real time, squeezing out every last drop of detail.
Free Stand or Wall Mount the Speakers: Supplied with speaker supports, the wireless speakers are easy to place on any flat surface. If you prefer an even less obtrusive aesthetic, simply remove the stands and wall mount the speakers instead. Maximise you surround sound potential, hassle-free, with the Sony Bravia Theatre Quad.

Founder Masaru Ibuka said the purpose of setting up the company was to "establish an ideal factory that stresses a spirit of freedom and open mindedness that will, through technology, contribute to Japanese culture. Symbolizing Sony's spirit of challenge to "do what has never been done before, the company has continued to release countless "Japan's first" and "world's first" products.
