Do I need a receiver or amplifier?

No. The BS-3 has built-in amplification rated at 70W RMS, so you connect a source directly.

Can I use it with a TV?

Yes. HDMI ARC lets you run TV audio through the speakers with a single cable and control volume from the TV remote.

How low does the bass go?

Ultimea rates bass down to 50Hz. That is good for a bookshelf pair, but a subwoofer adds more weight in large rooms.

What is Auracast used for?

Auracast is a Bluetooth broadcast standard. It lets compatible devices send audio to the speakers, including multi-speaker setups.

Can I adjust the sound?

Yes, through the smart app's EQ. Onboard tone controls are limited, so most tuning happens in the app.

Our take on the ULTIMEA 3-Way Powered Bookshelf Speakers BS-3

The Ultimea BS-3 is a powered bookshelf speaker pair with a true 3-way design: a 5.25-inch woofer, a 2.75-inch midrange and a 1-inch tweeter, driven by 70W RMS of built-in amplification. Bass reaches down to about 50Hz, and HDMI ARC plus Auracast and app-based EQ make it a compact all-in-one system for a TV or a desk. It competes with powered bookshelf pairs that rely on simpler 2-way drivers; the dedicated midrange should keep vocals cleaner at higher volumes. Owners rate it highly, though a few note the app and setup take some getting used to.
