I listened to Sony's new modular Bravia theater system, and 'Dune' never sounded so real
Sony introduced the Bravia Theater Trio as a flagship home theater speaker system for ultra-large at-home screens. The system uses three separate speakers with dedicated left, right, and center channels, avoiding a traditional soundbar form factor. A demo of a scene from Dune: Part Two showed layered, detailed reproduction of deep musical tones, including cello sounds. The setup also conveyed subtle background effects such as rustling cloth, sand, and metals. Sony developed the system with sound engineer Andrew DeCristofaro, who emphasized the center channel. The center channel improved dialogue clarity, addressing a common challenge for home movie audio.
"The Bravia Theater Trio system is a three-speaker system with dedicated left, right, and center channels. This system forgoes the typical soundbar physique, instead opting for three separate bodies for allocated sound. During my demo, we watched the scene from Dune: Part Two in which Paul Atreides assumes his role as the Fremen's messiah. The scene's ominous, deep musical tones set the mood for the tense, puzzling scene ahead."
"The Trio expertly layered this piece of the score, clearly reproducing the sinister sounds of the cello that score the film. There were moments when I could almost feel tingles as the rear speakers emulated the rustling of cloth, sand, and metals in the background. Sony developed the Bravia Trio with the help of Andrew DeCristofaro, sound engineer at Sony Pictures Entertainment. In our conversation about home audio, he stressed the importance of the center channel and called it his favorite component of the Trio system."
"The Trio's center channel spared no piece of dialogue, which is often a challenge to achieve when watching movies at home. Atredies's distorted"
