Remember the DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince track Boom, Shake the Room? Sony clearly hasn’t forgotten and it’s bringing the bass to wherever you are with its latest ULT party speakers.
The latest models consist of the ULT Tower Max, ULT Tower 7 and ULT Tower, sporting a new aesthetic, redesigned drivers and some tuning assistance from Hip Hop sound creators.
The biggest of the new batch of ULT speakers is the ULT Tower Max, which replaces the ULT Tower 10 in the line-up, with designs on delivering the most powerful bass in the series so far. The ULT Tower 7 is smaller, a little less big on the bass, and the ULT Tower 5 is, unsurprisingly, the smallest of the trio, bringing the bass in a portable form for “smaller gatherings”.
To bring even more bass to the series, Sony’s engineers have replaced the X-Balanced speakers that were present before and built newly developed large circular woofers. The ULT Tower Max features three of these, two front-facing and one rear-facing, and believe us when we tell you, even at half volume it’s got bass power to shake a large room.

With those woofers supported by a high-powered amplifier, the ULT Tower Max has a whopping output of 2150 watts. The ULT Tower 7’s output falls precipitously to 420 watts (which should indicate just how much power the Max is repping); while the ULT Tower unleashes 300 watts of output.
Sound can be adjusted via the ULT button on the front of the speaker, with ULT1 delivering deep bass (“that makes your heart tremble”), ULT2 goes for even more body-shaking power, while Flat aims to reproduce music as the creator intended (though we were told there’s still a slight ‘bump’ in the pitch of the sound), while Live recreates the “spacious feel of a live performance” while maintaining vocal clarity.
Sony has sought out industry credibility with the tuning of the speakers’ performance, sounding out the likes of DJ Dready (formerly of the So Solid Crew), Grammy-nominated producer Dot Da Genius, award-winning drummer Daru Jones and audio engineer/produce Dennis “ROC.am” Jones, with the intent of delivering deeper lows and clearer vocals.
All three party speakers are available now, though we currently only have Euro pricing at the moment. The ULT Tower Max is a SRP of €1500, the ULT Tower 7 is €600 and the ULT Tower 5 is €400.
