Sony today unveils three new speakers to its ULT POWER SOUND[i]series: ULT TOWER MAX, ULT TOWER 7 and ULT TOWER 5. Whether you’re hosting a party, DJing, dancing or singing karaoke, the new party speakers of ULT POWER SOUND series are designed for music lovers who want to feel every beat and combine deeper bass, higher sound pressure and deep party features to create an unforgettable party experience.
The new ULT TOWER lineup
Built around newly developed large circular woofers, large capacity speaker cabinets and ULT DUCT, the next generation ULT POWER SOUND series lineup delivers stronger low-frequency bass performance than ever before. The speakers’ bold new robust and versatile design brings the energy of a live event into any space.
Co-created with Hip-Hop Sound Creators
The new ULT TOWER lineup is refined through co-creation with acclaimed hip-hop sound creators, including Grammy-nominated producer Dot Da Genius, award-winning drummer, producer and musical director Daru Jones, record producer, songwriter and DJ Dready, and audio engineer and producer Dennis “ROC.am” Jones. Drawing on insights from these artists and producers, Sony tuned the speakers with their valuable feedback in mind. As a result, the speakers deliver deeper low frequencies, greater impact and clearer vocals, helping listeners connect with the music the way it was meant to be felt.
Bigger Bass. Bigger Impact.
Every model features Sony’s signature ULT button, with ULT1 and ULT2, plus two new modes – FLAT and LIVE[ii] – giving listeners instant access to multiple sound profiles:
• ULT1 enhances deep bass for a rich, low frequency sound that makes your heart tremble.
• ULT2 boosts even greater power, delivering body-to-shaking bass and strong sound pressure.
• FLAT reproduces music exactly as intended, delivering a true-to-source listening experience.
• LIVE recreates the spacious feel of a live performance while preserving vocal clarity.

For even more personalisation, the sound can be fine-tuned with Custom EQ in the Sony | Sound Connect app.
At the heart of the new lineup is Sony’s new circular woofer design for the ULT POWER SOUND series lineup. The woofer works alongside the large cabinet volume and ULT DUCT to help each speaker reproduce deeper, more powerful bass with greater authority.
ULT TOWER MAX with three woofers and the improved ULT DUCT
The ULT TOWER MAX features three woofers — two front-facing and one rear-facing — for powerful bass and sound pressure that can be felt throughout the venue, supported by a high-powered amplifier that delivers up to 2150 watts of output. ULT TOWER 7 delivers powerful bass and sound pressure, with up to 420 watts of output. ULT TOWER 5 delivers impressive bass and sound pressure from a compact design, with up to 300 watts of output.
360° Party Sound – Powerful Surround Sound that Fills the Room
ULT TOWER MAX and ULT TOWER 7 feature 360° Party Sound, projecting powerful audio all around the space so everyone can enjoy clear vocals and powerful bass from virtually any position around the speakers. On the ULT TOWER MAX, four tweeters, mid-range speakers and rear woofer work together to deliver rich, room-filling sound with deep, impactful bass.

Flexible Placement and Optimized Sound in Any Environment
Enhanced Sound Field Optimization analyses both speaker placement and surrounding noise levels, then adjusts the overall sound balance across the full frequency range, not just the bass, to maintain clear, balanced sound wherever the party takes place.
The new range of ULT TOWER speakers also supports flexible positioning, whether placed vertically or horizontally.
ULT TOWER 5
Built for Parties, DJs and Karaoke
From casual parties to professional DJ setups, the new ULT TOWER lineup offers flexible connectivity including XLR, RCA and USB-C®[iii] connections.
For larger events, you can connect compatible speakers in a stereo configuration, creating wall-to-wall sound coverage.

New lighting modes makes it easier to switch the mood for different settings. BEAT delivers high-energy lighting synchronized to the rhythm, WAVE creates dynamic ambient effects for social gatherings, and MELLOW offers slower lighting patterns for relaxed listening.
Karaoke fans can connect Sony’s optional ULTMIC1[iv] for an optimised vocal experience. Plus, the new Party Chain feature uses Auracast™[v] broadcast to connect multiple compatible Sony speakers[vi] and synchronise both music and lighting for an unforgettable party experience.

ULT TOWER 7 and ULT TOWER 5 also feature an IPX4 rating[vii] in a vertical position, making them perfect to use outdoors. With up to 30 hours battery life on the ULT TOWER 7[viii] and up to 20 hours on the ULT TOWER 5[ix], you can keep the party going wherever you are.

This reflects how Sony strives to reduce the environmental impact of our products.
