Sony India launches new BRAVIA Theatre System 6, Bar 6 soundbars at Rs 39,990 and Rs 49,990
Sony India has expanded its home entertainment lineup with the launch of two powerful new audio products: the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 and the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6. With immersive sound, Dolby Atmos support, and eco-friendly design, these soundbars aim to redefine the Indian home cinema experience—all while maintaining competitive pricing at ₹49,990 and ₹39,990, respectively.
Let’s explore what makes these two new entries worth considering for Indian households looking to upgrade their audio experience.
Raising the Bar with Bar 6
The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 is a sleek 3.1.2-channel soundbar designed for users who want impactful sound without the complexity of a full surround setup. Equipped with up-firing speakers, this system simulates overhead sound using Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, creating a more immersive audio environment. It also includes a wireless subwoofer that delivers deep, rich bass, making it ideal for movies, sports, and gaming.
One of the standout features is the integration of Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine. This technology creates the illusion of vertical audio without needing ceiling-mounted speakers. Combined with S-Force PRO Front Surround, the soundstage feels significantly wider than traditional 3.1-channel systems.
Step Into Full Surround with System 6
For users who want a true 5.1-channel setup, the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 delivers. It includes wireless rear speakers, a dedicated subwoofer, and front-facing speakers that support high-resolution sound formats. With a massive 1,000 watts of total output, this system fills even large rooms with clear, cinematic-quality audio.
What sets the System 6 apart is its Multi-Stereo Mode, which distributes stereo sound across all speakers. This feature enhances music playback and ensures that everyone in the room hears balanced audio—no matter where they’re seated. It’s perfect for hosting movie nights or parties at home.
Smarter Sound with Voice Zoom 3
Both systems are equipped with Voice Zoom 3, Sony’s AI-powered voice enhancement technology. This feature isolates and amplifies human speech, making dialogues easier to understand—especially important in action-heavy movies where background effects often drown out conversation.
Whether you’re watching news, dramas, or fast-paced thrillers, Voice Zoom 3 ensures you won’t miss a word.
Seamless BRAVIA Integration
Sony has designed these audio products to work seamlessly with BRAVIA TVs. Using the BRAVIA Connect app, users can control sound modes, adjust settings, and fine-tune their setup through their smartphones. If you own a BRAVIA TV, the soundbars can also be controlled using the TV’s remote, making everyday use even simpler.
A unique Quick Settings menu appears on compatible Sony TVs when paired with the soundbars, offering real-time access to sound modes like Night Mode (reduces loud sounds) and Voice Mode (enhances dialogue).
Built With Sustainability in Mind
Sony’s latest soundbars are not just about sound—they’re about responsibility too. Both the Bar 6 and System 6 use sustainable materials, including fabric made from recycled PET bottles and low-plastic packaging. In line with Sony’s broader “Road to Zero” environmental commitment, the products are also optimized for reduced energy consumption in standby modes.
Accessibility is another strong point. The soundbars feature tactile markers for easy cable identification, screen reader compatibility through the BRAVIA Connect app, and packaging that includes indicators for visually impaired users.
Designed for Indian Living Rooms
Sony clearly has the Indian market in mind. Both soundbars are compact enough for apartments yet powerful enough to fill larger drawing rooms with rich audio. They also support wall-mounting and come with minimal cables thanks to wireless connectivity for subwoofers and rear speakers.
Furthermore, the launch price—₹39,990 for the Bar 6 and ₹49,990 for the System 6—positions them competitively against rivals from JBL, Samsung, and LG. Considering the high-end audio formats supported and BRAVIA integration, Sony is offering excellent value for money.
Availability and Launch Dates
- BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 will be available across Sony Centers, major electronics retailers, and e-commerce platforms starting July 1, 2025.
- BRAVIA Theatre System 6 will hit stores starting July 3, 2025.
Both models will be sold online via Sony’s official platform ShopAtSC and through Amazon and Flipkart shortly after.
