Sony ULT Tower 10 Wireless Party

From the moment you consider a speaker of this scale you’re entering into “event‑level” audio territory, and Sony has clearly designed the ULT TOWER 10 with that in mind. The core aim is to bring the power and atmosphere of a live venue into a home or party space — with heavy bass, immersive sound, comprehensive connectivity and a set of party‑friendly extras. 

Starting with sound performance: this is a big tower speaker (dimensions approximately 418 mm wide × 1,106 mm high × 428 mm deep, weight ~29 kg) so it’s not a shelf‑sit option but a statement piece. Sony uses an “X‑Balanced Speaker Unit” in the woofer (approx. 320 × 320 mm) alongside mid‑range and tweeter units (approx. 80 mm midrange, 40 mm tweeters front & rear) which helps deliver the kind of low‑end punch, clarity and presence you expect from a large speaker rig. The ULT POWER SOUND branding denotes two selectable bass‑modes (“ULT1” for deeper low frequency, “ULT2” for more punchy bass) accessed via a dedicated ULT button. 

Another major aspect is the 360° Party Sound and lighting: four tweeters deliver sound front and rear, mid‑range speakers ensure clarity of vocals/instruments, while sound is projected all around the room rather than just in one direction. A built‑in lighting system (360° Party Light) and wheels/handle for mobility make it a practical choice for moving into different spaces or shifting for a party vibe.

Connectivity and input options are strong. You get Bluetooth (version 5.2 on the Australian spec), supporting SBC, AAC and LDAC codecs which ensures high fidelity when streaming compatible sources. Physical inputs include USB‑A (for playback/charging devices), stereo mini jack, optical digital input (making connection to a TV easy) and guitar/mic input for karaoke or instrument use. The inclusion of a wireless microphone in the box (according to the store listing) means you’re ready for karaoke out of the box. 

When it comes to home‑cinema enhancement, the ULT TOWER 10 offers a “TV Sound Booster” feature: by connecting your TV via the supplied optical cable you can significantly upgrade your viewing experience with richer bass and broader soundstage. 

In terms of build and design considerations: the speaker is clearly intended to be placed on the floor, requires significant space and is heavy (nearly 30 kg), so it’s best suited to a dedicated entertainment zone rather than being moved frequently. The top panel is splash‑resistant (good for party use) though the overall unit doesn’t have full outdoor weatherproofing. With the wheels and carry‑handle Sony provides some convenience for repositioning, but the size and weight remain substantial.

From a usability standpoint the speaker supports the Sony   |  Music Center app (and Fiestable for lighting/party controls) so you can adjust EQ, lighting, pair devices or connect multiple speakers. The “Party Connect” function allows you to wirelessly link up to around 100 compatible speakers to synchronise sound and lighting — useful if you’re staging a large gathering. 

On pricing and availability in Australia: The ULT TOWER 10 (model SRS‑ULT1000) is listed on Sony Australia’s store at an RRP of approximately A$1,499. The release is noted as “NEW” on Sony’s site, and while exact release‑date details are not deeply specified, it appears from the “NEW” listing to be part of Sony’s 2024/25 line‑up. 

In practical terms, if you’re seeking a speaker that can serve as the audio centrepiece for large rooms, parties or living spaces where sound and presence matter as much as fidelity, the ULT TOWER 10 offers a feature‑rich, high‑impact option. The combination of deep bass modes, 360° sound, karaoke/guitar input, lighting and TV integration means it’s built for immersive, social use more than subtle background listening. On the flip side, if your space is modest, you primarily stream via phone for casual listening, or if budget and mobility are key, this size and cost may be more than you realistically need.
