About the Soundcast VG7
A premium indoor/outdoor speaker
A premium indoor/outdoor speaker
Four speakers plus a down-firing subwoofer create an immersive 360° soundscape.
At 21 pounds and 1-1/2 feet tall, the Soundcast VG7's quite a bit larger and heavier than most Bluetooth speakers. But when you hear what it can do, you'll appreciate the difference. This brawny speaker features four separately enclosed drivers plus a down-firing subwoofer for powerful and detailed 360° sound. Indoor and outdoor EQ modes help you get the sound dialed in right for your space. And the VG7 is waterproof, so you can use it poolside or at the beach.
Bluetooth extras
The speaker features aptX® audio coding, an advanced form of Bluetooth that allows higher-fidelity sound with compatible Android™ device. Thanks to built-in NFC (Near Field Communication), you can pair a compatible device just by touching it to the VG7.
Power and portability
The internal rechargeable battery gives you up to 20 hours of playback. A USB charging port lets you keep your smartphone or tablet powered up when you're on the go. The VG7's integrated handle balances the speaker so it's easy to carry along.
