At the same time we in edition were portable sound system with high grade water-resistance, which is not terrible for a nature to take to a party around the summer veranda.
Column. GO connects with mobile devices via Bluetooth, and, as stated by the manufacturer, you can easily move away from the system at a distance up to 30 meters, and it will work smoothly and without interference.
Mean column represents the black box of impressive size, made in the style of professional equipment for DJs. The dimensions are chosen not by chance, inside a very capacious battery, speakers get 30 hours of battery life, if the only parallel you will not be able to charge your smartphone. The peak power of the system is 30 Watts.
In the configuration, it would seem, nothing special speaker, power adapter, 3.5 mm cable, but there is also enough place even for a microphone. To organize with this column little party outdoors or at the cottage can be easily. Stock volume accurately enough.
Provided on the front panel 6.5 mm input with independent volume control for microphone, guitars and other musical instruments, the usual linear stereo input 3.5 mm where you can connect the same iPod or music player, a button to enable button to activate the Bluetooth play button and two buttons to search radio stations or switch between tracks.

Regarding the range of the Bluetooth connection, outdoors it really is 30 meters, however, the room for such a result can not count because of the numerous barriers and interior partitions. Actually, GO. was initially positioned more like a column for outdoor recreation, but in the trunk of the car it will be a place. Lead-acid batteries with enough margin, especially if not listening to music at full volume.
Despite its impressive construction, the weight of the column a little more than two and a half pounds, and wear it comfortably by the handle in the back. The disadvantages. GO iclude a price of almost 10 thousand rubles, while the same brand of system for personal OPEN AIR are much more expensive, but not all, for example, equipped with protection against water iPX4, so the choice is more than worthy.
