"Simply the Classiest and Best-Sounding Speaker of its Kind"
The stunning DALI KATCH G2 sets fresh standards in portable audio. The embodiment of DALI's advanced digital technology and a unique design, the KATCH G2 delivers incredibly rich sound from its elegant, compact form.
Thrill to amazing sound from a Bluetooth speaker. The KATCH G2 is perhaps the best-sounding battery-powered, portable Bluetooth speaker you can experience. With its durable, elegantly rounded form, the specially developed drivers deliver peerless audio from the integrated digital amplifier.
The KATCH G2 also supports high-resolution aptX, aptX HD and AAC audio from compatible sources, and with two audio profiles, you can choose between a neutral frequency response that's perfect for most listening situations or a warmer response for larger rooms.
Award-Winning Performance
The KATCH G2 snagged an Editor's Choice Award as well as a Best in Class Award from avsforums.com.
According to reviewer Ed Selley, "DALI has taken a speaker that was excellent and then gone and made it a bit more excellent. You can reasonably comment that the price that the Katch comes in at puts it in competition with more flexible wireless speakers but if you don’t need that (or simply bolt a Chromecast on it) that’s not an absolutely compelling argument and it does nothing to alter the small matter of the Katch G2 sounding absolutely brilliant. This is the best portable speaker you can buy and an unquestionable Best in Class."
"An Almost Perfectly Omnidirectional Dispersion Pattern"
The KATCH G2 won a Great Audiophile Gift Award from enjoythemusic.com. According to Ian White, "The aluminum body of the compact and portable Dali Katch G2 has enough inner volume for its dual woofers to deliver a considerable amount of low-end punch. The sound from the Dali Katch G2 is rendered by a two-way stereo speaker system with a larger passive membrane supporting the woofer in the otherwise closed cabinet."
"By placing a full set of drivers on both sides of the Dali Katch G2, an almost perfectly omnidirectional dispersion pattern is created. True to Dali heritage, this creates an immense prime listening area whether used indoors or outdoors."
Lots of Ways to Play Your Music
Playing back music on the DALI KATCH G2 is as easy as making a Bluetooth connection. Pair your device the usual way or use NFC for a quick connection.
But that's not all! The DALI KATCH G2 also includes a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack for connecting your non-Bluetooth® devices easily, while the USB charge connector lets you top up your music device when you're on the move. You can can also drive a Chromecast Audio dongle or Amazon Echo for easy home network integration.
When playing Bluetooth audio, as well as adjusting volume with the KATCH G2 buttons, you can also use the volume buttons on your Bluetooth device.
"Nothing Short of a Delight"
"The Dali Katch G2 is simply the classiest and best-sounding speaker of its kind you can buy for the money," observes i>What Hi-Fi? magazine, naming the G2 an Awards 2023 Winner.
"You can stereo-pair two of them, and while there is no button on the G2 to automatically pause the music should you walk into the room with an urgent problem, we would advise you to simply let that accurate, clear, agile and neutral presentation soothe your cares away. Sonically, the Katch G2 is nothing short of a delight."
30-Hour Battery Life Between Charges
With a capacity of 3,300 mAh, the DALI KATCH G2's internal Lithium-ion battery lets you play at normal volume levels for up to 30 hours. The high quality, replaceable battery recharges in around 2 hours using the supplied charger, and when you connect the charger, the KATCH G2 plays louder and with more energy than ever.
True Wireless Stereo – Just add another KATCH G2
If you have two DALI KATCH G2 speakers you can create a true wireless stereo system. With two speakers, not only do you benefit from true stereo imaging, the two KATCH G2s also combine to deliver much higher undistorted sound and improved bass performance.
Detailed, Accurate and Agile High-Frequency Response
Driven by a strong neodymium magnet, the KATCH G2's two lightweight 083" soft dome tweeters deliver detailed, accurate and agile high-frequency sound while taking up minimal space. The large surface area also helps the tweeters reach down into the midrange frequencies for seamless integration with the KATCH G2's two woofers.
Low-Profile Woofers Deliver Powerful Lower Frequencies
Generating powerful midrange and bass from the KATCH G2's shallow cabinet seems like an impossibility... but we did it. By pairing two unconventional 3.5" aluminum woofers with a passive driver, the KATCH G2 uses every millimeter of internal depth to move as much air as possible, even at midrange frequencies. The combination of the aluminum cone and soft fabric dust cap also help to lower surface resonances and retain detail and clarity.
Drivers on Both Sides for More Immersion
Bringing the DALI sound to the DALI KATCH G2 was all about selecting, designing, and using the right parts for the job. The sound from the DALI KATCH G2 is rendered by a two-way stereo speaker system with a large passive membrane supporting the woofer in the otherwise closed cabinet. By placing drivers on both sides of the DALI KATCH G2, the sound integrates with the entire room for an immersive audio experience.
