We tested the frequency response accuracy using the 'ULT Power Sound' preset and Sound Field Optimization (room correction) off, with the speaker set to a horizontal position. With these settings, the speaker produces a decently well-balanced sound, with a good amount of bass on tap for its size. As with the Sony ULT FIELD 1, there's a peak in the high-bass to compensate for the lack of low-bass, which injects some warmth into your mixes.
