I have the old model that does not read "ultra" on the side, how is this unit differ from the non-ultra model?

I have been told/read that the original has a "whiter" light, and that the light fall off is more fluid, where as the ultra has "rings" people say. Not having the original I can not say for sure beyond that.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

Sorry I cant give you a good answer, could just be that the Total 5000 is a newer model, but I do have the Ultimate one and love it.

I agree, this is a new model, even I was confused with it. Hopefully Amazon.com will correct it.

I don't know if there is a diference between models. I have it since 2012 and works great. Sorry!!

Not sure-- All I know is they had a thinner walled one, and their new one is thicker walled-- not sure of model numbers etc.

I just ordered two the other day.... received them and both are the old model with version #: H22962-102. They have a date of manufacture of 23Jul2014 !!!! What the????

Yes. They doubled the price too. Don't know what the "ultra" part is... I liked the original product, and the new product just seems like a ploy to charge more to me. Looking for something else.

I bought mine in the last 6 months and it has many more features than my original one. I don't know the model year. I know there are other ones out there. I recently saw another brand at Walmart but the unit was so much bigger than this one. I guess it depends on whether or not you like the smaller size, or if you could use the added features.

Sorry but I'm not know exactly the difference. I had this model and it works very well.

Ues. Just the color of the screen is different. All the hook ups will be the same

No I don't think it will. The ultra looks longer length wise and thinner. Sorry good luck.

Hello there, I am not sure which is new and which is old model but certainly I am not very happy with it. It stopped working just after few weeks of moderate use. I don't consider this is a quality product!

From what I learned, they are both the same model. The U and the UA are identical. Only reason for the difference in suffix is for production tracking for different lots manufactured. Audiovox quality standards require strict monitoring for best performance of their electronics. My family enjoys our systems we purchased from them. They are great for the children. I like the fact that these in place systems don't have to be lugged around all the time. They are there when you need it. Also, no chance of fumbling with mounting and removal or dropping units and damaging them. We are very pleased. From what I learned, they are both the same model. The U and the UA are identical.

It looks like just different wording spec. for Japan, along with the model number change from LV61 to LV52

the ultra takes 2 D batteries where as the basic one takes AA. Therefore works longer.
