ULTIMEA 7.1ch Virtual Surround Sound Bar, Sound Bar for Smart TV with 4 Surround Speakers, Peak Power 330W, Surround Sound System for TV, App Control, TV Soundbar with Subwoofer, Opt/AUX/BT, Aura A40

In a world increasingly demanding cinematic experiences within the comfort of our homes, the Ultimea A40 7.1 Surround Sound System emerges not just as an option, but as a compelling argument for elevated audio without an exorbitant price tag. Having had the distinct pleasure of immersing myself in its capabilities, I can confidently state that the A40 redefines what's possible for budget-conscious audiophiles and casual listeners alike, delivering a soundstage that genuinely thrills and captivates. From the moment you unbox the Ultimea A40, a sense of thoughtful design and practicality is evident. The main soundbar, while compact, possesses a robust feel, hinting at the power contained within. The true magic, however, lies in the four dedicated surround speakers – two wired for the front and two for the rear – and the substantial 4-inch wired subwoofer. This thoughtful 7.1 channel configuration, bolstered by Ultimea's proprietary SurroundX technology, is the bedrock of its immersive prowess. Setup is remarkably intuitive, a testament to Ultimea's user-centric approach, making the transition from unboxing to full audio immersion a remarkably swift and satisfying journey. But let's talk about the sound – the very heart of any audio system, and where the Ultimea A40 truly shines. My testing spanned a diverse range of content, from action-packed blockbusters to intimate dramas and intricate musical compositions, and the A40 consistently delivered a performance that belies its accessible price point. The Pillars of Performance: * Vibrant Detail and Crystal Clarity: Dialogue, often a weak point for many soundbars, is rendered with exceptional clarity. Every whisper, every inflection, comes through with pristine articulation, ensuring you never miss a crucial line in your favorite film. This extends to music as well; instruments are distinctly separated, and vocal performances are delivered with a nuanced precision that brings recordings to life. The 10-band equalizer settings and 121 preset EQ matrices, easily accessible via the intuitive Ultimea Smart App, allow for an unparalleled level of customization. Whether you prefer a rich, warm tone for jazz or a crisp, dynamic profile for gaming, the A40 adapts with remarkable finesse. * Immersive Surround Sound That Envelops: The 7.1 virtual surround sound, powered by those dedicated surround speakers and SurroundX technology, creates a truly expansive sound field. During intense action sequences, the feeling of explosions reverberating from behind, or projectiles whizzing past your ears, is genuinely thrilling. The spatial accuracy is impressive, placing you squarely in the center of the action. This isn't just simulated surround; it's a meticulously crafted auditory environment that transforms your living room into a private cinema. The ability to adjust surround levels with 13 adjustable levels further refines this experience, allowing you to tailor the intensity to your room's acoustics and personal preference. * Deep, Impactful Bass with Authority: The wired 4-inch subwoofer, enhanced by BassMX technology, delivers a surprising amount of punch and depth. Explosions hit with satisfying rumble, musical bass lines are full and resonant, and the overall low-end presence adds a tangible weight to the audio. It's a tight, controlled bass that complements the overall sound signature rather than overpowering it, ensuring a balanced and engaging listening experience across all genres. * Versatility and Control at Your Fingertips: Beyond its stellar audio performance, the Ultimea A40 offers a compelling suite of features that enhance its usability. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures seamless wireless streaming from your devices, and the dedicated Ultimea Smart App provides comprehensive control over every aspect of the sound. From switching between EQ modes (Movie, Music, Voice, Sport, Game, Night) to fine-tuning individual frequencies, the app transforms your smartphone into a powerful audio command center. This level of granular control is rarely seen in this price category and allows for truly personalized audio. While some higher-end systems might offer a slightly more refined top-end or an even larger soundstage, it's crucial to consider the significant price disparity. The Ultimea A40's strength lies in its ability to deliver an astonishingly rich and immersive 7.1 surround sound experience at a fraction of the cost. It's a system that punches well above its weight, providing a genuine "wow" factor for movies, music, and gaming. In conclusion, the Ultimea A40 7.1 Surround Sound System is a triumph of accessible home audio. It's not just a soundbar; it's an invitation to rediscover your favorite entertainment with newfound clarity, detail, and breathtaking immersion. If you're seeking to transform your home entertainment without breaking the bank, and yearn for an audio experience that truly makes content "sing," then the Ultimea A40 is not merely a strong contender, but a resounding champion. It's the kind of audio upgrade that leaves a lasting impression, and for this competition, I believe its performance speaks volumes.

This home theatre system is small and mighty, I am so pleased with the quality of the build and the ease of use and it does have an app that you can use to control and customize the equalizer to your liking. It easily pairs with my TV remote so i can control it without the hassle of too many remotes. It is very loud enough for playing movies and also i love how i can connect my phone via bluetooth and use it for music and podcasts. The buttons and controls are easily accessible. I have it connected using bluetooth and find it really reliable in connectivity and with no audio latency at all. I LOVE these and have been using it for a while now, I definitely recommend it.

Sound is great. Bass is pretty decent as well for the price. Remote and app has great functionality. System was super easy to set up and adjust to our room size. The only issue we have with it is the Bluetooth sometimes does not pair with the projector. We have to reboot the system & turn it back on, but then it pairs immediately with the projector.

For the price point, it’s a no brainer. But beyond that it, as a former Monster Cable employee that has tested countless massive customer builds, this will satisfy 90% of consumers. It’s not trying to compete with massive 1000W neighbors and spouse hate you systems, but it adds just the right amount of immersive sound you want for a realistic home audio setup. I bought and compared it to the massively over priced Sonos systems and honestly preferred this, minus the noise extra cords that aren’t really an issue. Sonos is just leveraging newer Bluetooth specs and paying higher price for newer Bluetooth chips that haven’t been mass produced yet and then charging the consumer a massive premium for what will be a mass produced much low priced chip and in the next lineup of products. Just look up latest Bluetooth version capabilities to be approved and you will see it’s not really the speaker creators that are so innovative, it’s the Bluetooth capabilities that are doing the heavy lifting.

Sound quality and volume are both good. Setup was very simple. The one thing I dislike (and I dislike it enough to almost want to return it) is how it turns itself off after not receiving any input for fifteen minutes. I really dislike having it connected to my desktop computer and having to turn it back on after coming back from a bathroom break or something. I wish there was a desktop app with settings I could adjust. Edit: After receiving a message from the seller, there IS a setting in the app (still no desktop app though!) to adjust the time from 15 minutes up to 4 hours to never turn off. They still offered a refund despite helping to fix my problem, which I declined. Great customer service! I am adjusting my review accordingly.

I would give this 3.5 stars. Good sound for the price, but it is not sureound sound. Everything comes through the center. Bass is good but nothing that will blow you away. It cannot consistently differentiate between left channel and right channel. But still good to fill a room with sound. The smaller speakers are pretty quite compared to the center speaker which seams to be doing most of the heavy lifting.

Very quick for shipping. Great little set up and easy to do set up too. Wires are perfect length for the room they recommend. Ive got a little hut of my own and these things have it rocking! I got it out of the package, laid it out in front of me and easily put together with little tab markers for all the ports (very user friendly), after that plugged two outlets in and turned it on. Gave it a second and connected my phone so quick. Volume can get very loud and if you use the app you have so many features. It can also be very quiet for study too, great for students. The small speakers fit at any edge of any table, very compact sound bar and sub. Great job ULTIMEA.

I’m not mad at it. Bought this as a temp solution so I could hear the dialogue on my tv while my 1500w system is being replaced under warranty. For the price it’s not bad. The speakers have some decent weight to them and I can hear my TV clearly. The subwoofer is a joke, might as well not even include it in the set, even turned up all the way you still can’t hear it. But if you just want to hear your TV better and/or live in an apartment and don’t want to make the neighbors mad, this system fits the bill, just don’t expect rumbling bass output.

👉 PREMESSE Ho testato nel tempo diverse soundbar della ULTIMEA di cui ho sempre estremamente apprezzato il rapporto qualità/prezzo, con una spesa davvero minima si riesce comunque a migliorare notevolmente l’audio del vostro televisore. L’ultima testata è stata la Aura A30 di cui ho espresso parere assolutamente positivo in quanto aggiungeva gli altoparlanti posteriori in modalità wireless seppur fra loro vanno collegati mediante cavo e logicamente anche alimentati ma questa soluzione aveva certamente aggiunto un suono immersivo importante, un vero effetto cinema con inoltre una buona potenza di 250W totali. 👉 DESCRIZIONE DEL KIT Ora mi sono trovato a testare questo modello la AURA A40 che fa nuovamente uno step in avanti andando a completare l’esperienza immersiva di un Dolby Surround vero e proprio. Si tratta di un kit 7.1 composto da una soundbar che si presenta molto molto compatta identica a quella presente nel kit della Aura A30 quindi rimangono le linee morbide e pulite con tasti funzione touch, integra 3 driver per il canale centrale ma nella parte posteriore si aggiungono due uscite per collegare i due altoparlanti anteriori aggiuntivi, rimangono connessione cavo ottico, Usb e Aux, bluetooth 5.3 che ci permette di connettere fonti esterne come ad esempio il nostro smartphone. Oltre alla soundbar abbiamo un piccolo ma funzionale subwofer che va connesso mediante apposito cavo direttamente alla soundbar, due altoparlanti posteriori wireless ma in questa Aura A40 si aggiungono i due altoparlanti frontali laterali che vanno connessi mediante cavo direttamente alla soundbar. Per completare il tutto, un piccolo telecomando completo di tutte le funzionalità per gestire al meglio il sistema. Rispetto alla Aura A30 andiamo anche ad aumentare la potenza totale che in questa Aura A40 arriva a ben 330W. 👉 PROVA SUL CAMPO Dopo aver installato il tutto molto velocemente e collegato la soundbar alla mia TV tramite cavo ottico, inizia il mio test con vari contenuti fra musica e film, dapprima ho testato il tutto senza connettere i piccoli diffusori anteriori aggiuntivi quindi nelle medesime condizioni della Aura A30 e in questa configurazione non ho trovato differenze che ci tengo a precisare si tratta già di un buon effetto sonoro immersivo. Quando però vado a connettere i due altoparlanti frontali e li vado a posizionare a lato della TV leggermente allargati, bè non posso non notare quanto la scena sonora si vada ad allargare dandoci l’impressione di essere al centro della scena, in una bolla sonora con effetti che arrivano alle nostre orecchie da ogni punto della stanza. Devo dire che questa Ultimea riesce a raggiungere l’obbiettivo prefissato con ogni tipologia di prodotto il tutto mantenendo un prezzo di vendita molto contenuto, insomma se vogliamo goderci un buon film immersi negli effetti senza l’installazione di grandi impianti ed investendo una cifra direi assolutamente abbordabile, questo è il kit perfetto. Per concludere la mia esperienza volevo trattare il discorso telecomando che nelle sue piccole dimensioni integra una miriade di tasti con la possibilità di effettuare tutte le regolazioni e equalizzazione che si vogliono in funzione dei contenuti o dei propri gusti, forse addirittura però troppi tasti presenti Un aspetto del telecomando che non ho per nulla apprezzato invece sta nella poca reattività nel gestire il volume, si deve continuamente premere sul pulsante. Per le funzioni più avanzate, un’equalizzazione precisa, ecc. abbiamo l’applicazione per smartphone con la quale possiamo fare tutto ciò. 👉 CONLUSIONI Se volete provare il piacere di un suono in dolby surround a 7.1 canali senza spendere grandi cifre ma soprattutto senza tirare numerosi cavi, questo potrebbe essere il sistema da prendere in considerazione, certo qualche cavo c’è ma può essere facilmente gestito. Personalmente ho una soundbar di alto livello ma senza diffusori posteriori e garantisco che fanno un’enorme differenza, nonostante questa della Ultimea abbia un valore nettamente inferiore restituisce un effetto spazialità che non percepisco sulla mia soundbar, poi ovvio che la qualità dell’audio è nettamente inferiore ma comunque rimane estremamente piacevole

Technisch und optisch toll, einfache Installation mit wenig "Kabelsalat".

This is a great compact, well priced sound system. I have over a number of years tried to find a balance for the sound that I have used with my TV. I have used stand alone sound bars with sub woofers, a large full sound system set up and higher end smart speakers with sub woofer set up. For me trying to find the balance between what is really needed in terms of the actual power that I am going to use and wanting a setup where the speakers do not dominate the room, whilst wanting good clear sound with a fair degree of bass, a good surround sound and very clear dialogue (this is very important to me). This offers a great balance. The surround speakers are small, the subwoofer compact and the soundbar itself is extremely well sized. Given this the sound it produces is full, with a good rich base, the dialogue is extremely clear, the surround sound works very well and you can increase the effect. You can connect the soundbar through a number of ways though I focused on optical cable (for the surround sound) and bluettoth (for my phoen and other devices) I have been listening to this now for nearly 3 weeks as my main TV sound system. Up until then I have been using a very good recent large soundbar and subwoofer. I was planning to move this and use with my projector in the main bedroom but I have found myself extremely reluctant as I have really enjoyed using this as the main system. The set up is really straight forward with power only needed for the soundbar and the back speakers. Power is supplied to the other speakers from those connections and front to back sound connection is wireless. The remote offers a deep range of functions and the APP itself is useful though much more limited in what it can do. It also has simple presets for gaming, watching films, sports, listening to music, a focus on the voice and a night mode. There are lots of other options as well. For the price this is an excellent setup that offers more than enough sound for the average lounge without the speakers dominating the room. I like it a lot.
