PEERLESS PERFORMANCE
Amazing sound from a Bluetooth® speaker
DALI 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.
CONNECTIVITY
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. 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.
EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE
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.
SOFT DOME TWEETERS
Detailed, accurate and agile response
Driven by a strong neodymium magnet, the KATCH G2's two lightweight 21 mm 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
Delivering 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 3½" aluminium woofers with a passive driver, the KATCH G2 uses every millimetre of internal depth to move as much air as possible, even at midrange frequencies. The combination of the aluminium cone and soft fabric dust cap also help to lower surface resonances and retain detail and clarity.
IMMERSIVE AUDIO
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 2-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.

Value for Money
91/100
Rich, spacious sound is the DALI KATCH G2’s calling card, pairing punchy bass with a clean, room-filling presentation that reviewers from What Hi-Fi?, StereoNET United Kingdom and ecoustics found unusually refined for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Its classy build, aptX HD support, and long battery life make it a standout travel-friendly listen.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Exceptionally spacious, room-filling soundstage with strong stereo imaging for a compact portable speaker.
Punchy bass and clear, detailed mids/treble deliver an engaging, lively presentation at sensible volumes.
Premium, solid construction with attractive aluminium, leather, and rubberised detailing.
Strong wireless and wired flexibility, including Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD, 3.5mm input, and up to 30 hours of battery life.
&
Cons
Can sound hard in the midrange and treble if pushed too loudly; it performs best at moderate levels.
Lacks daisy-chaining/multi-speaker expansion, which limits party-scale flexibility versus some rivals.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 90/100
Across the reviews, the Katch G2 is praised for sounding far larger than its compact size, with spacious presentation, firm low-end punch, and a lively, resolving character. The main caveat is that it can get a bit hard in the midrange and treble if pushed too loudly, so its best balance seems to come at sensible volume.
Bass
90/100
Reviewers repeatedly describe the low end as impressive for the speaker’s compact body, with ‘considerable’ punch, ‘crisp, deep lows,’ and bass quality that benefits from the Warm EQ setting. It is clearly being judged as strong for its small size, with passive radiators helping it sound fuller than expected.
Mid
89/100
The midrange is described as bold, defined, textured, and nuanced, with vocals coming through as three-dimensional and emotionally convincing. The only recurring caution is that pushing the speaker too hard can introduce some hardness, but at normal levels the midband sounds clean and engaging.
Treble
88/100
Treble performance is generally described as clear, detailed, and fairly refined, with horns and percussion carrying bite without obvious veil. Reviewers also note some hardness or brittleness when the volume climbs, which keeps it from sounding completely effortless all the time.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
This is one of the Katch G2’s biggest strengths: reviewers repeatedly call it extremely spacious, with a large soundstage and an almost omnidirectional spread. It creates a wide, immersive listening area indoors or outdoors, and the stereo pairing mode is said to improve separation and image size further.
Dynamics
90/100
The speaker is described as punchy, room-filling, and capable of maintaining clarity as volume rises. Reviewers note that it stays composed at respectable levels and can produce significantly higher undistorted output in paired mode, though it sounds best before being pushed too hard.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
93/100
The build is consistently admired, with praise for the matte aluminium body, leather details, rubberised feet, and generally classy industrial design. Reviewers also describe it as solid, substantial, and robust, though one notes that the supplied cloth bag feels less protective than the speaker itself deserves.
Value for Money
91/100
Reviewers are notably positive about value, calling it the best sound-per-pound portable Bluetooth speaker and saying it competes strongly with more expensive rivals from Bluesound, Bang & Olufsen, and Sonus faber. It is acknowledged as expensive for a portable speaker, but the overall tone is that its performance and finish justify the outlay.
