Sony Expands Its ULT Power Sound Series with Three Heavy-Duty Party Speakers
If you are looking to turn your next gathering into a full-scale concert, Sony has just unveiled a new lineup of audio hardware designed to rattle your ribcage. Expanding its acclaimed ULT Power Sound series, the electronics giant has introduced three new tower speakers—the ULT Tower 5, ULT Tower 7, and the massive ULT Tower Max—each engineered for maximum sonic impact.
From Portable Powerhouse to “Big Boss”
Despite the term “small,” the entry-level ULT Tower 5 is a significant piece of audio gear. Weighing in at 29 pounds, it packs two midrange speakers, two tweeters, and a 230mm woofer.
Moving up the ladder, the ULT Tower 7 scales the experience, hitting 50 pounds with an array that includes two midrange drivers, four tweeters, and a larger 280mm woofer. However, the true showstopper is the ULT Tower Max. Tipping the scales at an imposing 121 pounds, this unit is built for sheer dominance, housing three 280mm woofers, two midrange speakers, and four tweeters. Those who have experienced the Max in person report that it is more than capable of delivering a visceral, bone-rattling audio experience.
Engineered for Every Environment
Beyond raw power, the ULT Tower 7 and ULT Tower Max offer a 360-degree sound projection designed to fill even the largest venues. Sony has outfitted all three models with versatile sound profiles, including:
- Bass Emphasized Mode: For deep, room-shaking lows.
- Power Mode: To maximize total output and loudness.
- Flat Mode: For a balanced, untouched EQ.
- Live Mode: Engineered to recreate the atmosphere of a live music performance.
Connectivity is equally robust across the lineup. Users can connect via Bluetooth, or utilize physical inputs including XLR, RCA, and USB-C. For those who want to keep the party going, the ULT Tower 5 and 7 are battery-operated, offering 20 and 25 hours of playtime, respectively. The heavy-duty ULT Tower Max requires a constant power connection, cementing its status as the stationary “anchor” of any setup.
Portability and Pricing
Recognizing the physical weight of these devices, Sony has redesigned the handles for a more ergonomic grip. The ULT Tower Max even features new wheels with wider treads, specifically designed to handle transitions across various types of terrain with ease.
The new speakers are positioned at distinct price points:
- ULT Tower 5: $449
- ULT Tower 7: $649
- ULT Tower Max: $1,499
Sony has confirmed that all three models will be available for purchase starting this month, though specific retail availability dates may vary. Whether you’re a professional DJ or a host who takes their party sound seriously, Sony’s latest offerings are built to ensure your music is not just heard, but felt.
