amazon Dali Katch reviews
Design
The appearance of Dali Katch is modeled in oval shape with two lightly curved surfaces on a 2.5cm thick frame made of solid metal. The outer lattice is molded with plastic with diamond pattern, the bottom is a protective film made of homogeneous color from inside to bring aesthetic to the product. The diamond-framed surrounds are quite sharp and prominent, with a brushed, dust-free surface, on top of which are intuitive buttons.
To accommodate the speaker movement, Dali equips a strap (such as a female handbag) that can be pulled out or collapsed in its curved shape, or used to hang the speaker in a fixed position. In addition to the Bluetooth connectivity, Dali Katch is equipped with two mechanical connectors, one of which is USB charging for mobile or chrome cast devices and one 3.5mm jack. Dali Katch only ships with a power cord for charging without the addition of a 3.5 mm cable in the box. Users who want to experience audio through physical connectivity need to purchase additional wires. The Dali Katch charging port is quite firm and well-ventilated, located underneath the rubber cover covering the two signal lines, as if the gate is closed, the body will be more seamless and beautiful.
Use
Dali Katch mobile speakers are easy to connect and use. Hold down the power button for about 3 seconds, the speaker will be turned on, and the notification sound, which can then be quickly connected to the portable source with the speaker. Dali Katch can be connected at the same time with many Bluetooth devices and playback priority, while disconnecting the player is immediately available. Next to the power button is the Bluetooth connection button, increase the volume down and a switch to 2 EQ mode of sound. The 4 lights around the power button blink when the battery is about to run out, announces the volume level and stays on in the standby mode.
With a 2,600mAh battery, the Dali Katch portable speaker takes about 2 hours to fully charge and can play up to 9 hours of continuous music playback via a Bluetooth connection, roughly the same as the manufacturer’s stated nominal time.
Sound
The volume generated by Dali Katch is huge compared to its compact size, which is capable of listening to enough music for 30-40m² of space. Experience shows that Dali Katch plays well at volume levels below 80%, and when open at full capacity it will be distorted. The loudspeaker provides a clear sound, which gives the audience a sense of sound and is less of a noisy, less expensive sound. This is the advantage of the Dali brand with many years of experience tuning the output audio. The speakers’ hardware consists of two 25W Class-D Amplifiers, two 21mm tweeter drives and two 89mm woofer pairs, two pairs of full-duplex speakers full range of bass, mid and high.
The bass from Dali Katch has deep, unbroken force in the overwhelming arena, rock and EDM repertoire of very strong bass, while lyrical music is warm and deep into the heart. No matter what type of music, Dali Katch’s bass performance is still neat and tidy. However, the highlight of Dali Katch is in the middle and high. Smooth, clear, comfortable, and detailed. As for the high strings, the listener feels the clarity and elegance without jarring, and overcomes this weakness in most of the speakers in the segment. When the Piano, Saxophone and Trumpet “Blue in Green” were tested on Dali Katch, the sound of each instrument was accurately reproduced.
Despite its compact size and hardware configuration, Dali still offers Katch 2 the option of Clear and Warm EQ modes to suit each genre. When switched to Warm mode, the bass will be more pronounced, suitable for those who like strong music. However, with the need for normal balance, Clear mode is still reasonable for all use situations.
Conclude
Despite being Dali Audio’s first portable speaker, Katch has impressed audiences with their clear, yet powerful sound in most situations. With a neat and classy design, high capacity battery, convenient carrying straps … Dali Katch meets the needs of music on long trips. With the ability to fully reproduce the range of sounds and two optional EQ modes, Dali Katch demonstrates the professionalism of a class-leading mobile speaker and creates a refreshingly musical space every time it speaks. Dali Katch is priced at around $500, higher than the same configuration on the market today. However, with Dali Audio’s widely acknowledged brand and quality, Katch deserves to stand in the high-end segment of the portable speaker market.
