Sony ULT TOWER 5 Wireless Party Speaker in Black - SRSULT500

Sony SRSULT500 ULT TOWER 5 Wireless Party Speaker in Black

The Sony ULT TOWER 5 Wireless Party Speaker, model SRSULT500, turns parties, DJ sets, karaoke nights, and group listening into bass-forward events. Part of the ULT POWER SOUND series, this portable party centerpiece was tuned with input from professional hip-hop creators to deliver the front-row energy, strong low-frequency impact, and high sound pressure that bring music to life. Choose ULT1 for deeper bass, ULT2 for a harder punch, FLAT for a neutral and customizable foundation, or LIVE for a dynamic concert-style presentation. The illuminated front ULT control puts those choices at your fingertips with press-to-switch operation, twist volume adjustment, and lighting that follows the speaker's visual effects.

Inside, a circular woofer works with the airflow-focused ULT DUCT to drive powerful low frequencies while controlling distortion. Two tweeters preserve vocal clarity and crisp high-frequency detail, so the excitement does not come at the expense of definition. Sound Field Optimization adjusts playback for changing surroundings, whether the cabinet is near a wall or competing with the noise of an outdoor gathering. Automatic horizontal and vertical tuning also lets the speaker adapt to its orientation. For a more personal balance, the 10-band equalizer in Sony | Sound Connect layers detailed adjustment over ULT1, ULT2, or FLAT, while three preset lighting modes and app personalization help shape the room around the music.

Move the celebration beyond the nearest outlet with an internal rechargeable battery that provides approximately 20 hours of playback under Sony's stated conditions.¹ A 10-minute charge restores about 100 minutes of listening, while Battery Care and the STAMINA power option give you more ways to manage endurance. Four integrated handles make the speaker easier to carry and reposition, and IPX4 water resistance supports gatherings where incidental splashes may happen.² RCA, XLR, microphone, and USB connections welcome DJ equipment, karaoke sessions, phones, computers, and USB drives. Bluetooth 5.3, Multipoint Connection, Stereo Pair, and Auracast-based Party Chain expand wireless possibilities, from sharing control between two source devices to synchronizing music and lighting across a larger compatible Sony speaker setup.

Key Features

Sound That Fits the Space

Placement does not have to dictate the listening experience. Sound Field Optimization compensates for environmental conditions, including wall-adjacent locations and noisy open-air settings, while automatic orientation tuning maintains the intended balance whether the cabinet is upright or resting horizontally.

A Party That Looks as Lively as It Sounds

Three ready-to-use lighting patterns set the mood quickly, and app-selected choices offer another way to personalize the atmosphere. The illuminated perimeter and front ULT control share the coordinated visual language of the ULT TOWER family, helping individual or grouped speakers present a unified look.

Connect a DJ or Lead Karaoke

RCA and XLR inputs simplify integration with DJ gear, and an XLR output helps extend a connected speaker arrangement. Karaoke controls provide direct adjustment of microphone volume, echo, and key, while Sony | Sound Connect adds Voice Changer and other supported party functions.³ A microphone is optional and sold separately.⁴

Scale Up the Celebration

Party Chain uses Auracast broadcast to link compatible Sony speakers, coordinating audio and lighting across a system of up to 100 units.⁵ For a wider left-and-right soundstage, Stereo Pair joins two compatible ULT TOWER 5 speakers.

Flexible Playback and Sharing

Multipoint Connection keeps two Bluetooth sources paired and changes over when playback starts on either one. Fast Pair streamlines setup with a compatible Android phone,⁶ while LDAC, AAC, and SBC codec support broadens wireless listening choices. USB Type-C accepts digital audio from a phone or computer, and USB Type-A plays music stored on a flash drive; either port can also help power a connected mobile device.

Manage Battery Life Your Way

Battery Care is designed to help avoid overcharging during regular use. When runtime takes priority over atmosphere and enhanced processing, STAMINA switches off the lighting and sound effects, including ULT POWER SOUND processing.⁷

Reduced Use of Virgin Plastic

Recycled plastic can account for up to 20% of the speaker body, supporting Sony's broader effort to reduce environmental impact.⁸
