Sony ULT TOWER 5 SRSULT500 Party Speaker, 300W, Bluetooth, XLR/RCA, IPX4

For parties, karaoke sessions, and DJ setups, the Sony ULT TOWER 5 brings powerful sound and flexible connections together in one floor-standing speaker.

Its 300W maximum output and bass-focused ULT modes help give music a more energetic presence for a gathering.

Bluetooth supports wireless playback, while XLR, RCA, USB Type-C, and microphone inputs make it practical to connect different audio sources for a hosted event.

Practical tips

Choose a sound mode to suit the music: ULT1 emphasizes deep bass, ULT2 delivers a more powerful presentation, FLAT provides balanced sound, and LIVE adds a dynamic, concert-style character. The custom 10-band EQ lets you shape the sound further with ULT1, ULT2, or FLAT, so you can tailor playback to the room or event.

For a casual gathering, stream from a phone or tablet over Bluetooth. For karaoke or a DJ setup, use the available microphone and wired inputs to connect the relevant equipment. The front-facing ULT control makes it easy to switch modes and adjust volume at the speaker. Its illuminated control also provides visual feedback as you make changes.

Benefits

A Bluetooth-only speaker is convenient for straightforward music playback, the ULT TOWER 5 adds wired connection options for events that involve microphones, DJ equipment, laptops, or instruments. That flexibility makes it useful when the setup may change from background music to a more hands-on party or karaoke session.

The built-in party lighting adds synchronized visual effects to living rooms, outdoor gatherings, and DJ spaces. A battery-powered design offers up to 20 hours of playback, while integrated handles make it easier to move the 28-pound speaker between party areas. IPX4 water resistance adds a practical feature for social settings where the speaker may be near splashes.
