Sony has launched the ULT Tower, a new party speaker that supports Auracast technology for wireless multi-speaker connectivity. The speakers can be chained together for synchronized audio across multiple units.
The ULT Tower joins Sony's growing lineup of audio products designed for social and outdoor use. The speakers leverage Auracast, Bluetooth's broadcast audio standard, enabling users to link multiple units without traditional pairing limitations.
Auracast allows one audio source to stream to multiple devices simultaneously, making it practical for parties, events, or larger spaces. Users can control connected speakers as a single system rather than managing individual units.
Sony has positioned the ULT Tower within its ULT (Ultra) brand, which emphasizes powerful sound output and durability. The speaker integrates with existing Sony audio ecosystem while opening compatibility to other Auracast-enabled devices.
The Auracast standard has gained industry backing, with major manufacturers including Samsung, Google, and others supporting the technology. Sony's integration into consumer party speakers marks a key step toward mainstream adoption of the broadcast audio format.
