The Skywave X100 Series marks a new chapter in Ultimea’s home theater journey. Built on the success of our 2025 flagship, Skywave X70, the new Skywave X100 Dual and Skywave X100 are not simple iterations—they are the result of listening closely to real users and pushing our flagship concept further into true cinema-grade territory.

From professional acoustic tuning and expanded immersive format support to finer channel control and future-ready connectivity, the X100 Series is designed for those who want more control, more realism, and more longevity from their home theater system.

And for those already watching closely—this is only the beginning.

Designed from Real User Feedback

The Skywave X100 Dual & X100 were shaped by how people actually use their home theaters, not just by spec sheets.

Over time, we consistently heard the same requests from advanced users and enthusiasts:

DTS:X support alongside Dolby Atmos, instead of being limited to a single immersive format

Greater freedom to fine-tune surround and height channels individually

A backlit, premium remote that’s easy to use in dark rooms

The X100 Series exists because of these voices. Every major upgrade reflects a real-world demand.

THX Tuned Certification: Cinema Accuracy, Now Standard

What THX Tuned Brings to the X100 Series

Skywave X100 Dual & X100 are THX Tuned certified, meaning they meet strict professional cinema acoustic standards for frequency response, sound pressure, clarity, and spatial accuracy.

THX tuning isn’t about exaggerated effects. It’s about balance, consistency, and faithful reproduction of the director’s intent—so dialogue remains clear, effects are impactful, and the soundstage stays cohesive even at high volumes.

A Dedicated THX Acoustic Experience

The X100 Series features a dedicated THX listening mode, allowing users to enter a THX-calibrated acoustic profile with a single selection. This mode delivers a more authentic, theater-like presentation compared to conventional sound enhancements and represents a significant step forward from previous generations.

Dolby Atmos & DTS:X — Choose the Right Immersion for Every Scene

Full Immersive Format Support

Unlike earlier generations that supported Dolby formats only, Skywave X100 Dual & X100 support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. This opens the door to a wider range of content—from streaming platforms to Blu-ray discs—without compromise.

Manual Post-Processing Switching

Different content deserves different treatment. With the X100 Series, users can manually switch post-processing modes to match what they’re watching:

Cinematic films

High-bitrate Blu-ray content

Streaming shows

Console and PC games

Instead of the system deciding for you, you stay in control of how immersive formats are rendered.

Independent Channel Level Control: Precision You Can Actually Hear

Individual Adjustment for Surround and Height Channels

One of the most requested upgrades was greater control over spatial balance. The X100 Series answers that with independent channel level control.

Surround and height channels are no longer grouped together. Each can be adjusted individually, allowing the soundstage to adapt to your room rather than forcing your room to adapt to the system.

Fine-Tuning via the App

Using the Ultimea app, users can precisely calibrate:

Surround channels: ±6 dB

Height channels: ±3 dB

This level of control is especially valuable for non-symmetrical rooms, varied seating positions, or unconventional speaker placement.

Why This Matters in Real Rooms

Real homes are not perfect rectangles. Independent channel adjustment ensures better sound localization, smoother transitions across channels, and a more convincing sense of envelopment—no matter the layout.

8K HDR Pass-Through with HDMI 2.1

Future-Proof Connectivity

Skywave X100 Dual & X100 are equipped with HDMI 2.1 and support 8K HDR pass-through, a major upgrade for users investing in next-generation displays and source devices.

Ready for High-Frame-Rate Entertainment

The X100 Series supports:

8K at 60Hz

4K at 120Hz

This makes it ideal for modern TVs, gaming consoles, and high-frame-rate content—without sacrificing image quality or introducing additional latency.

Backlit Aluminum Remote with Display

Built for Dark Rooms and Daily Control

Responding directly to user feedback, the X100 Series introduces a brushed aluminum remote with backlit buttons and an integrated display.

The result is effortless control, even in dimly lit rooms, with instant visual confirmation of volume and mode changes.

A Premium Control Experience

This is more than a convenience upgrade. The remote reflects the flagship nature of the X100 Series—solid, intuitive, and designed to complement a high-end home theater setup.

New Subwoofer Phase Adjustment

Adapting to Placement and Room Acoustics

Bass performance is heavily influenced by room layout and subwoofer placement. To address this, the X100 Series introduces subwoofer phase adjustment, allowing users to better align low-frequency output with their listening position.

Cleaner, More Impactful Bass

By optimizing phase alignment, low frequencies become tighter, clearer, and more immersive—enhancing both impact and definition across movies, music, and games.
