”Dali’s classy portable speaker is quite the Katch.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.
A classic. Made better
The original DALI Katch was one of the best Bluetooth speakers in its class. The Katch G2 takes all that’s great about the original – great sound, unique style and long battery life – and makes it even better. Improvements to the sound, connectivity and battery life simply make the best better still.
Enhanced connectivity
Bluetooth’s sound quality has greatly improved over the past few years. With support for aptX HD, aptX and AAC, the Katch G2 maximises the format’s potential – giving you improved realism, detail and depth of sound over earlier versions. There’s still a 3.5mm AUX input, too. Combine this with the USB charging socket, and it makes the ideal pairing for connecting an audio streaming device, such as a Chromecast Audio dongle.
Class-leading sound
Using a long-throw DALI woofer, soft dome tweeter and ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator), the Katch G2 delivers a smooth, dynamic sound. For enhanced detail and reduced distortion, the cabinet now features internal speaker divides, giving each speaker the room to ‘breathe’.
Pair for stereo
For a true stereo sound, connect two Katches together, wirelessly. This is ideal for larger rooms, parties or simply for enjoying the music as it was originally intended – in spacious stereo sound.
Longer battery life
Already impressive for its class, the new Katch G2 pushes the battery boundary even further. With up to 30 hours playback time, you’ve easily enough charge for a weekend or more away. Charging back to full strength takes just two hours.
Your choice of colour – of them cool
Smooth lines, Scandinavian attention to detail and solid build quality are all still present and correct with the handsome Katch G2. The only tricky decision to make is which of the three tempting colours to pick. Iron Black, Caramel White and Chilly Blue all look great and should suit every style.
Enjoy premium sound and style, with the DALI Katch G2.

Great sound, clear bass, a little lost outdoors
I bought this to replace an old Bose sound link mini. The sound definitely has more “depth” to it, I would guess this is mainly due to the speakers facing both directions. This is great in indoor settings although the sound becomes a little lost when used outdoors.
Bass is always adequate and a lot more defined than with the Bose although the two preset EQ settings have lost the speaker one star, an option for a flat response would have been ideal, some music just didn’t work with either setting and so I had to mess around with EQ on phone.
Feels solid and well built and a doddle to connect to. Considering buying a second one to have a very portable true stereo system

Great Speaker
I bought this speaker to go with my AK DAP for music on the go - easy to connect via Bluetooth- but better sound via coax line in. Fantastic battery life . Sound quality superb - would recommend

It's an expensive single blutooth speaker but well worth the money. It sounds clear and well defined whether playing classical music, rock, or audiobooks.

The reviews weren’t lying!!
After a long a trusted listening experience with my B&W T7 Bluetooth speaker which had travelled thousands of miles with me and entertained family and friends for both music and movies, i decided to hand ‘said brick’ down to my children. It was time for dad to treat himself to a modern Bluetooth speaker. One with a slightly better frequency response a wider sound stage (the T7 only emits sound from the front of the unit) and possibly look in the future to pair a pair in a stereo set up. Battery life was important, powerbank usb charging for an iPhone with an apple battery life of two minutes! Also increasingly important but ultimately the sound quality was highest on the list of needs. The favourable reviews whathifi gave the Dali and the classy looks, coupled with the VIP club savings were a deal closer. The Katch g2 sounds amazing with the bass radiators doing their thing, rich and full bodied midrange, crisp notes towards the upper kHz too. The katch has already been on its first trip (in its included travel bag) and I can’t seem to remove from my desk since returning back from holiday either… and that speaks volumes imo. Would recommend the chilli blue colour too - smart.

Very high quality
A very nicely made, high quality speaker. It's bigger than I expected and has some weight to it. Due to the design it would be easy to knock over as it's tall and thin, but it has some rubber feet that seem good. Easy to set up and charges quickly. You can also charge your phone from the speaker using a USB output (also used for firmware updates when available).
Has a warmth to the sound with some depth from the bass which is good. You can also switch to 'clear' EQ mode as opposed to warm. Basic button controls for on, off, EQ toggle and volume. Has a 3.5mm jack input.
I really like the AptX HD support. It seems to be dying out. I can easily tell the difference between normal Bluetooth and the AptX so one of the main reasons for choosing this speaker.
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.
Sound not as loud as I expected after reading reviews. 'Room filling'? Well depends on the room and what else is going on. It's loud enough for normal listening, but not a boom box, and it's heavy but thin so I suppose there are limitations. I'd love to try two together but that's a lot of money. It's loud enough for normal listening, does distort a little at the highest volume.
The slide away handle is a nice touch and it comes with a little dust/carry bag too.
Overall it's very good but not great considering the price. Audio very good, build quality excellent, not loud for it's weight or price and limited features.
