Sony has announced three new speakers in its new audio product line called the ULT Power series. This is an attempt by the company to reduce the complexity associated with naming conventions. and XE series products. Both lines will be incorporated into his ULT Power series brand. In keeping with this new brand, each of the following speakers includes something called his ULT button that boosts the bass.
ULT Field 1 is a standard portable Bluetooth speaker. It is compact and comes in a variety of colors including black, white, gray, and orange. The battery lasts approximately 12 hours on a single charge, and the case is IP67 waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. Like many of these ultra-portable Bluetooth speakers, the design allows users to stand it up on its end or lay it down to take advantage of the space. It also has a built-in microphone, so you can make hands-free calls. The speaker is priced at $130 and is expected to be available at major retailers later this spring.
The ULT Field 7 is essentially a more rugged version of the Field 1. Although larger, it is still portable and includes two dedicated ULT buttons. One provides deeper bass in the lower frequency range, while the other brings powerful, punchy bass. There’s also plenty of ambient LED lighting that syncs with the music.
The battery lasts for 30 hours, which is a great indicator, and it also includes a fast charging feature. It is also advertised as a karaoke machine as it has a built-in microphone port. Finally, Sony says you can string up to 100 of these things together to create a cacophony of sounds that can really annoy your neighbors. However, Field 7 says that just one car costs him $500, so these neighbors are likely living in luxurious mansions. It will be released later this spring.
As the name suggests, ULT Tower 10 is a Bluetooth tower speaker for residential spaces. This speaker connects wirelessly to your stereo system or TV to enhance your audio, and features the same two ULT bass boost buttons as the Field 7. There’s also a sound optimization feature that detects local noise and adjusts settings to suit your surroundings.
The speaker features synchronized lighting in all directions, which Sony says “makes listeners feel like they’re at a music festival.” There are two microphone inputs for singing karaoke duets, and the speaker actually comes with one wireless microphone. Listeners can also connect up to 100 compatible speakers at once, including Field 7. However, it’s an expensive tower speaker, so it will set you back $1,200 when it goes on sale later in the season.
