I recently upgraded my aging soundbar to the Ultimea Poseidon D60 5.1 system. With its wireless connectivity, Dolby Atmos support, and a feature-rich companion app, it has transformed my weekend movie nights and gaming sessions. Even my cat seems to have claimed the prime listening spot!

Design & Installation​

Minimalist Aesthetics
The main unit and satellite speakers feature a matte plastic finish with metal grilles, seamlessly blending into modern living spaces. The 6.5-inch subwoofer, housed in a wood-textured cabinet, adds a touch of elegance. Considering its sub-$200 price point, the build quality is commendable.
User-Friendly Setup
A standout feature is the wireless connection between the main unit and subwoofer, eliminating the need for complex wiring typical of traditional 5.1 systems. While the rear speakers connect via RCA cables to the subwoofer, the included 6-meter cables offer flexibility for discreet placement. Wall-mount brackets are provided, making it easy to pair with a 55-inch TV setup.

Features & Connectivity:​

Comprehensive Connectivity
The system supports HDMI eARC for seamless TV integration, with CEC enabling synchronized power control. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures stable wireless streaming—even through two walls. Optical and AUX inputs cater to legacy devices.
Impressive App Ecosystem
The companion app offers 121 EQ presets, including:
  • Night Mode: Compresses dynamic range for late-night viewing without disturbing others.
  • Game Mode: Enhances positional audio cues, giving gamers a competitive edge.
  • Custom EQ: A 10-band equalizer allows for personalized sound profiles.

Audio Performance:​

Dolby Atmos Experience
Testing with Top Gun: Maverick, the system delivered clear overhead effects as jets soared above, while the subwoofer's BassMX technology provided impactful low frequencies without overwhelming the dialogue. Compared to some premium 5.1 setups, the Poseidon D60 offers slightly less horizontal sound dispersion but excels in vertical layering and center channel clarity.
Music Playback
Streaming the lossless version of "Hotel California" from Apple Music in "Original Sound" mode revealed detailed guitar strums and precise placement of percussion elements. However, the 12W satellite speakers may struggle with large-scale orchestral pieces; adjusting the app's bass settings can help maintain balance.
Gaming Immersion
In Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS5, ambient sounds like whispering villagers and the unsettling movements of creatures were rendered with spine-chilling realism, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Pros & Cons​

Pros:
  • True 5.1 surround sound with Dolby Atmos support.
  • Wireless subwoofer reduces setup complexity.
  • Extensive EQ customization via the companion app.
  • Affordable pricing with premium features.
Cons:
  • Plastic housing may exhibit slight resonance at high volumes; placing the unit on a soft surface can mitigate
  • Rear speakers require wired connections to the subwoofer.
  • The digital display has a dated appearance; an LCD screen would be a modern improvement.
The Ultimea Poseidon D60 redefines value in the entry-level home theater market. Its blend of wireless convenience, Dolby Atmos immersion, and user-friendly customization makes it an excellent choice for those in smaller living spaces or anyone seeking a straightforward yet immersive audio upgrade. For under $200, it's a compelling package that delivers more than expected.

Music Playback
Le streaming de la version sans perte de "Hotel California" d'Apple Music en mode "Original Sound" a révélé des rythmes de guitare détaillés et un placement précis des éléments de percussion. Cependant, les haut-parleurs satellites 12W peuvent avoir du mal avec des pièces orchestrales à grande échelle; ajuster les paramètres des basses de l'application peut aider à maintenir l'équilibre.
Jeu Immersion
In Resident Evil 4 Remake sur PS5, des sons ambiants comme des chuchotements de villageois et les mouvements troublants de créatures ont été rendus avec un réalisme glacial, améliorant l'expérience de jeu globale.

Avantages et Inconvénients​

Points positifs:
  • Véritable son surround 5.1 avec support Dolby Atmos.
  • Le subwoofer sans fil réduit la complexité de la configuration.
  • Personnalisation EQ étendue via l'application compagnon.
  • Prix abordable avec des fonctionnalités premium.
Points négatifs:
  • Le boîtier en plastique peut présenter une légère résonance à des volumes élevés; placer l'unité sur une surface molle peut atténuer
  • Les haut-parleurs arrière nécessitent des connexions filaires au caisson de basses.
  • L'affichage numérique a une apparence datée; un écran LCD serait une amélioration moderne.
L'Ultimea Poseidon D60 redéfinit la valeur sur le marché du home cinéma d'entrée de gamme. Son mélange de commodité sans fil, d'immersion Dolby Atmos et de personnalisation conviviale en fait un excellent choix pour les petits espaces de vie ou ceux qui recherchent une mise à niveau audio simple mais immersive. Pour moins de $200, c'est un paquet convaincant qui offre plus que prévu.
Bonjour, ce compte rendu correspond bien à ce que j'ai pu de mon côté m'apercevoir.
