Features
Water & Dust Proof (IP67 Rated): The Sony ULT Field 7 portable Bluetooth speaker features a rugged polymer housing and a durable fabric material grille which will hold up indoors and outdoors. The ULT Field 7 is waterproof and dustproof (IP67-rated) which means no more worrying about rain, spills, or dust. You you can even submerge the speaker in water up to 1 meter (3') for up to 30 minutes. It's also rustproof, which means you can enjoy music even at the beach.
- A rubber cap protects the ULT Field 7's connections and plays a very important role in maintaining the speaker's water & dust proof performance. The rubber cap must be installed and closed over the connections for the speaker to be IP67 water & dust proof.
- When the rubber cap is removed and the ULT Field 7 is plugged into an AC power outlet; or when a USB device, Auxiliary source, or Mic/Guitar is connected, the speaker system is subject to water & dust damage.
Powerful Stereo Sound: The ULT Field 7 Bluetooth speaker employs two high-efficiency 1.8125" dome tweeters and dual 4.5" X-Balanced midbass drivers powered by a 40W Class D amplifier, plus dual 5" passive radiators that work in harmony to deliver powerfully rich and clear stereo sound indoors and outdoors. The two high-efficiency tweeters provide crisp and spacious sound for high-frequencies, while the two X-Balanced midbass drivers deliver deep, punchy bass. The side-firing passive radiators are optimized to further enhance the portable speaker's impactful bass sound.
- Stereo Pair: Using the Sony Music Center App (for Apple iOS and Android OS), you can connect two ULT Field 7 speakers together to create a stereo pair for a wider stereo soundstage. One speaker will be designated as the Left channel, while the other speaker is designated as the Right channel.
- Party Connect: Using the Sony Music Center App (for Apple iOS and Android OS), you are able to connect up to 100 compatible Sony "Party Connect" compatible speakers (including X-Series) and sync music and lights. The same audio and lighting effects are played on every linked speaker.
Note: The Stereo Pair or Party Connect feature cannot be used if you are using the speaker's USB port, Aux input, or Mic/Guitar input for playback.
X-Balanced Speaker Technology: Sony's X-Balanced midbass drivers feature a non-circular diaphragm, instead of the conventional circular diaphragm, to maximize the area of the driver's cone. The maximized diaphragm area increases sound pressure for a deeper and punchier bass sound, clearer vocals, and an altogether better listening experience. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity. Other sound technologies include Sony ULT, Soundfield Optimization and a 7-band EQ - which can all be accessed through using the Sony Music Center App (for Apple iOS and Android OS).
- Sony ULT: The Sony ULT features emphasizes deep bass sound. You can select from ULT1, ULT2, or Off.
- 7-Band EQ: You can configure a 7-Band EQ to tailor the speaker's sound to your preference, genre, or mood.
- Soundfield Optimization: This proprietary microphone sensing technology detects noises around the speaker while playing music to automatically make adjustments to optimize sound. Sound Field Optimization is set to on by default, but can be turned off.

- Multi-Device Connection: You can pair multiple Bluetooth devices (up to 8) with the ULT Field 7 and keep two Bluetooth source devices connected at one time. When playback starts on one device while music playback is in progress on the other, the speaker switches the audio source from the latter to the former and starts outputting sound from the switched source device (Multi-device connection).
- Supported Codecs: In addition to supporting Bluetooth's standard SBC codec, the ULT Field 7 also supports Apple's AAC codec and Sony's LDAC codec. By supporting AAC, the ULT Field 7 offers better audio performance of the music streamed from your Apple iOS device. LDAC is a new audio technology from Sony that allows you to enjoy high quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With 3x the data transmitted (compared to regular Bluetooth), LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience.
- Auto-On/Off: The Sony ULT Field 7 speaker system can be set to automatically turn on when it senses a previously connected Bluetooth source device. The speaker system will automatically turn off after there is no Bluetooth audio signal or operation for approximately 15 minutes.
