Sony Bravia Theatre Quad (2024)

A four-speaker wireless home theater system (successor to the HT-A9) whose wired connections all live on a compact control box. That box offers one full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 passthrough input with 4K@120Hz, 8K, Dolby Vision and VRR support — effectively giving your TV back a gaming port — plus an eARC output and wired Ethernet. There is no optical input and no USB port, so a TV with eARC/ARC is required. A 3.5mm S-Center Out can hand center-channel duty to a compatible Bravia TV.

Sony’s 16-driver wireless quad speaker system; control box has HDMI 2.1 eARC out, 4K120 passthrough in, Ethernet, S-Center out.
