harman kardon Go + Play™ II at a glance:

A higher standard of sound quality.

The harman kardon Go + Play II will play your music and movies with an exceptional sound quality that most other portable loudspeakers can only dream of. It all starts with two Atlas™ woofers that produce extended bass performance with minimal distortion, while two Odyssey® tweeters project powerful musical details over a wide listening area.

The harman kardon Go + Play™ II system is then computer-optimized to produce an all-encompassing, 360-degree soundstage. With intelligent equalization (EQ) technology in place to improve stereo imaging greatly, the harman kardon Go + Play II delivers a powerfully tuned digital audio path that ultimately leads to unsurpassed precision in terms of performance. With clean, compact digital amplification coupled with digital signal processing (DSP), the harman kardon Go + Play II employs one algorithm that optimizes system dynamics and bass impact in AC-power mode – and another to minimize distortion during battery operation.

For the best sound possible, the harman kardon Go + Play II also independently amplifies both the woofers and tweeters. By using bi-amplification, the harman kardon Go + Play II delivers richer, more dynamic sound with higher output levels – far exceeding other companies’ products in this category.

Flexible Connectivity.

In addition to having an iPhone/iPod dock that acts as a main connector for your music and multimedia, the harman kardon Go + Play™ II also has a 1/8″ (3.5mm) stereo mini-jack input that lets you sync up with virtually any other audio device – including MP3 and CD players, desktop computers and laptops. Connect your high-performance loudspeaker to other sound sources, and immediately achieve compatibility with a full range of electronic devices. That’s the goal of the harman kardon Go + Play II – to satisfy your every entertainment impulse while providing superior sound that enhances the experience.

And with an S-Video output, the harman kardon Go + Play II has a few other tricks up its sleeve – for instance, allowing you to export iPod photos and even play back video on your TV. Working as an elegant go-between for your iPod/iPhone and TV, the harman kardon Go + Play II ensures that images can accompany the harman kardon® signature sound as a consistent part of your entertainment experience – wherever you and your multimedia content may be.

It’s one thing to have a loudspeaker that plays only the music you have. It’s another to have one that allows you to acquire the new music you love. Whether you’re on the go or staying put, the harman kardon Go + Play™ II can sync up to the iTunes music store using a USB cable, allowing you to expand your music library – even as you’re listening to the library’s songs.

Get smarter with an RF remote control.

The harman kardon Go + Play™ II system offers you infinite control by including a smart RF remote for two-way communication and superior signal reception. In Music mode, the remote lets you adjust volume, change tracks and fast-forward or reverse through songs from across the room – up to 29 feet (9 meters) away. In Navigation mode, you get full iPod or iPhone functionality, which allows you to browse by song, artist or album – as well as select playlists, slide shows and videos – as if you were holding your iPod or iPhone device in your hand.

Works with batteries or AC power.

Whether you’re at home or on the run, the harman kardon Go + Play™ II works with battery power (eight type-C alkaline batteries) or with AC power if you simply plug it into a wall outlet. And when it’s in AC mode, the harman kardon Go + Play II never uses battery power – and it keeps your iPhone or iPod device charged and ready to go. The battery-power feature offers you the convenience of taking your harman kardon Go + Play II to any adventurous destination without relying on electricity – be it to a beach, a park or wherever your imagination takes you.
