About the Cambridge Audio G2
Small footprint, full sound
Small enough to fit anywhere, the Cambridge Audio G2 (pictured in champagne) delivers big sound.
Small footprint, full sound
Grab the Cambridge Audio G2 in one hand and take your tunes everywhere. This durable little speaker plays music wirelessly from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. It belts out lots of detailed sound for its size. A high efficiency Class D amplifier powers two drivers, while two bass radiators reinforce the low end. Its solid, wrapped aluminum body is built to stand up to life on the go, and it eliminates unwanted vibrations for clearer sound. Advanced digital signal processing (DSP) keeps your music sounding crisp, even at high volume.
Twice as nice
Need it louder? Wirelessly pair two G2s to stream music simultaneously. You can play your tunes with even more volume.
Share the power
The G2's built-in rechargeable battery can deliver up to 10 hours of continuous operation. You can borrow some of that to recharge your smartphone or portable music device. Simply plug the device into the speaker's USB port.
A traveling speakerphone
Smartphones have so many apps and music options these days, it's easy to forget their primary function — making and taking calls. The Cambridge Audio G2 can help here, too. Rather than toggling back to your phone's inferior speaker, simply hit the flashing "phone" button and use the G2 as a speakerphone. You'll be able to hear the person on the other end clearly, and the G2's built-in microphone lets you talk back to them with ease.
