DALI REVEALS TWO NEW KATCH COLOURS
Danish high-end loudspeaker specialist DALI has officially launched its award-winning compact Bluetooth portable speaker in two new striking colours, Jet Black and Grape Leaf.
StereoNET liked loved DALI's Katch when we had a review unit, and as I previously reported over at GadgetyNews, I have to agree that for such a small and portable device, the sound quality is remarkable.
As spotted on our recent visit to IFA, the stylish DALI KATCH is now available in a brace of new colours.
By way of a quick reminder, under the extruded aluminium hood sits a Class-D amplifier that's capable of pumping out 2 x 25 Watts of power. The amp drives 2 x 21 mm soft-dome tweeters and 2 x 3.5-inch passive aluminium woofers, one pair facing front and one pair at the rear.
Furthermore, the DALI KATCH features two placement profiles one for freestanding play and one that utilises placement on a shelf to reflect sound back from a wall.
Connectivity comes by way of Bluetooth 4.0 with Apt-X as well as NFC. Should you require a more physical connection, DALI has included a stereo mini-jack input. Finally, there's a USB charge connector which means that you can drive a Chromecast Audio dongle too, integrating your DALI KATCH into your home network.
Speaking of power, the DALI KATCH’s 2600 mAh internal battery offers up to 24-hours of untethered playback. A full recharge takes around 2 hours.
With the release of the latest hues, the colour options are now Dark Shadow, Jet Black and Grape Leaf. Cloud Gray and Green Moss are still available for a limited time only.
Priced at €399 the portable DALI KATCH Bluetooth speaker is available in the new colours as of right now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
