DALI Katch G2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Wireless, Compact, Outdoor Speaker, 30 Hours Playtime, With Fabric Dust Cap, Pressure Level 95 dB, Chilly Blue

Product Information

Bang & Olufsen isn’t noted for following the herd. In the Danish electronics specialist’s catalogue you'll find a wheel-shaped wireless speaker, a TV that opens up like a butterfly, and an 8200-watt monolithic speaker comprising 18 drivers. Its output could reasonably be described as "innovative" – and the B&O Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) wireless speaker is no exception. The Dali Katch G2 is simply the best sound-per-pound portable Bluetooth speaker on the market right now, both comfortable in your home and on the road." - What Hi-Fi? Audio is really strong, too: bigger, punchier and louder than you’d expect from such a small box. Play Juiceby Lizzo and the Micro 2 does justice to the song’s upbeat tempo with the singer's vocals vibrantly portrayed. Midrange in particular is dealt with in a much more appealing manner than anything else we’ve seen at this price. Speakers are all about sound. As much as some might question this recommendation based on technology, design and price, my ears told me over and over, with my eyes open and my eyes shut, that the Cleer Scene offered a more natural sound.

I’ve been fortunate to review the Sonus faber Omnia, and Bluesound Flex Series Wireless Loudspeakers over the past 12 months and both left me really impressed. Zvuk z modelu DALI KATCH G2 je vykreslován dvoupásmovým stereofonním reproduktorovým systémem s velkou pasivní membránou, která podporuje woofer v jinak uzavřené skříni. Umístěním měničů na obou stranách systému DALI KATCH G2 se zvuk integruje s celou místností a přináší překvapivě skvělý zvukový zážitek. Na rozdíl od původního modelu KATCH má nyní skříň DALI KATCH G2 vnitřní stěnu, která ji rozděluje na dva vnitřní objemy, což zlepšuje oddělení kanálů.Every extra millimetre gained in internal depth is turned into true low-frequency reproduction, letting the woofer generate bass with only slight help from the DSP. Despite the limited baffle surface area, the woofer membrane is a relatively large 3.5. The outward turned cone is constructed from an aluminium membrane with a soft fabric dust cap. The stiff aluminium cone allows the woofer to move as much air a possible even at mid-range frequencies, and the combination of aluminium and fabric works to lower surface resonances, retaining detail and clarity.

In any case, each panel receives 25W from class-D amplifiers, and together they deliver a frequency range of 49Hz to 23 kHz. The speaker connects via Bluetooth 5.0 and supports the AAC, AptX, AptX HD, and SBC codecs, a strong array of support. Sonos has been synonymous with multi-room music for many years now, and the Era 100 – the spiritual successor to the excellent Sonos One– pushes the bar even higher than before. The internal Li-Ion battery has a total capacity of 3300 mAh, letting the DALI KATCH G2 play at normal volume for a long as 30 hours. The battery is replaceable and is manufactured by a quality battery brand manufacturer for the best possible stamina. Charge time is a little over 2 hours with the supplied charger.

I have listened to Elvis Costello since My Aim is Trueon speakers and systems, great and small. Elvis Costello sounded like Elvis Costello on the Cleer Scene but came across with a deeper, richer tone than he owns on the Dali Katch G2, even in clear mode. I don’t want my speakers to interpret my artists, (which I know they all do to an extent), but the Cleer Scene produced the Elvis Costello I want to listen to. Winner:Cleer Scene. Features Given that the Flip 5 is a past What Hi-Fi? Award winner, it will come as little surprise to learn that the Flip 6 is another resoundingly five-star product. We might have thought we’d be advising JBL to rework the Flip by now – add a few more features, change it up a bit to keep up with the competition – but instead, we are left praising the sonic chops of a proposition that offers extra durability (it is now IP67 water- and dust-proof, over the waterproof-only IPX7 Flip 5) as well as an extra ounce of space within its trademark zealous and musical presentation.Yes, it's still 'just' a Bluetooth speaker – but what a great-sounding Bluetooth speaker it is. Positioning is critical as the sound comes out of both sides and gives a wide sound, but does vary as you move you or it about. It's hard to get it just right so I'll enjoy experimenting. With four decades of experience and a range of acclaimed products known around the world, we can proudly say our commitment to authentic sound has advanced the state of the art and inspires music and cinema lovers alike.
