A year after the launch of the ULT Power Sound Bluetooth speakers, Sony has unveiled two new models to add to this portable and festive series. The Sony ULT Tower 9AC and Sony ULT Field 3 Bluetooth speakers retain the DNA of the range, putting bass in the spotlight.
A wider range
The Sony ULT Power Sound range already included the ULT Field 1 portable speaker, the compact ULT Field 7 party speaker, and the powerful ULT Tower 10 party speaker. The series now has two new models: the ULT Field 3 and the ULT Tower 9AC. This range now competes with established American portable speaker manufacturers such as JBL and Klipsch.
With these two new models, the Japanese manufacturer responds to even more needs. The Sony ULT Field 3 offers more power than the ULT Field 1, and a long battery life of 24 hours. Devoid of any connectors, it is designed exclusively for wireless use, with its Multipoint-compatible Bluetooth 5.2 module.
Weighing 28.5kg, the Sony ULT Tower 9AC is not in the same league. This speaker is capable of 360° sound diffusion thanks to an architecture designed to distribute sound evenly throughout the room. It features seven drivers, including a 13″ woofer with X-Balanced technology that maximizes the cone surface for even more powerful bass.
