About the Harman Kardon Go + Play™ II

Ralph Graves
The Harman Kardon Go + Play II doesn't look like your average portable iPod speaker system — so it's only logical that it wouldn't sound like one, either. The Go + Play II sports a sleek, sophisticated design with a sturdy stainless steel handle and decorative accents. And its sound technology is just as advanced.

The Harman Kardon Go + Play II doesn't look like your average portable iPod speaker system — so it's only logical that it wouldn't sound like one, either. The Go + Play II sports a sleek, sophisticated design with a sturdy stainless steel handle and decorative accents. And its sound technology is just as advanced.

Innovative sound
The rounded exterior of the Go + Play II isn't just for show — it positions the speakers slightly outward to create an expansive soundfield. The system features two tweeters for highs, and two woofers for mids and lows. Each speaker has its own amplifier to ensure it works with maximum efficiency and accuracy. You'll enjoy clear, full sound with nicely rounded bass.

Advanced circuitry senses whether the system is drawing power from its AC adapter or eight "D" cell batteries, and adjusts the EQ accordingly. So whether you're in your kitchen with the Go + Play II plugged in, or out at a tailgate party with the system perched on your car, you'll enjoy optimal sound.

Multiple entertainment options
The Go + Play II lets you enjoy photos and videos from your docked iPhone or iPod touch as well, via an S-video output you can connect to your compatible TV. And if you need to sync your player, no problem. A USB port lets you connect the Go+Play II to your computer to update your device while it's still docked.

And if a friend has an MP3 player other portable device, just have them use the system's auxiliary stereo minijack input and share their music.

Full remote control
The included remote gives you access to two handy system modes. Put it in Music mode, and you can adjust volume, skip songs, and even fast-forward or reverse through tracks. In Navigation mode, you get all the functionality of your iPhone or iPod so you can browse your device's library for a particular song, artist or album. You can also select playlists, slide shows and videos, too.

Features

Portable Hi-Fi iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock: The Harman Kardon Go + Play II is a portable hi-fi speaker dock designed for the Apple iPod or iPhone. The Go + Play will play music & video content from your iPod or iPhone device. The Go + Play II delivers tight, accurate bass from its high-excursion low-frequency drivers, while also providing distinct & crystal clear highs. The Go + Play II  is AC or battery operated, so it will go anywhere your iPod/iPhone goes.

Modern Industrial Design: From its arched stainless-steel handle to its iPod/iPhone docking cradle, the high-performance Harman Kardon Go + Play II loudspeaker combines high-minded utility with an understated, functional industrial design. Stylish yet not too flashy, the Harman Kardon Go + Play II has a black body with silver accents, designed to complement virtually any interior design scheme.

Two-Way Speaker Design: The Harman Kardon Go + Play II employs a two-way speaker system for clear, detailed highs & rich, deep bass. Two Atlas woofers produce extended bass performance with minimal distortion, while two Odyssey tweeters project powerful musical details over a wide listening area; giving the Harman Kardon Go + Play II exceptional range that most other portable loudspeakers cannot produce. The Harman Kardon Go + Play II has a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Bi-Amplification: Using bi-amplification, the Harman Kardon Go + Play II's woofers & tweeters are independently amplified for exceptional richness & clarity of sound. By amplifying the woofers & tweeters separately, the Harman Kardon Go + Play II delivers the kind of sharp, efficient, optimal sound quality you expect from Harman Kardon. the Harman Kardon Go + Play II supplies 15W to each tweeter & 30W to each woofer.

Intelligent Equalization (EQ) Technology: The Harman Kardon Go + Play II system is 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 & bass impact in AC power mode; & another to minimize distortion during battery operation.

iPod/iPhone Dock: The Harman Kardon Go + Play II loudspeaker incorporates an integrated iPod/iPhone dock adapter, making it compatible with most iPod/iPhone models. The Go + Play II supports audio playback, video output, basic remote control playback functions, & charging of select iPod/iPhone devices.

Convenient Touch Controls: The Harman Kardon Go + Play II loudspeaker dock integrates the latest touch-control technology. On the user-friendly control panel, one touch increases or decreases volume. Another touch mutes or un-mutes the system (No turning or twisting of knobs is required).
