Background and Identification

The Harman Kardon Go Play 2 or Go Play II is a portable loudspeaker designed to be compatible with Apple iPhones and iPods. The speaker has a cradle which the phone or iPod connects to in order to play music. The cradle also charges the connected device, which prevents power loss. This speaker has several notable features. First, it can be powered by battery or electricity. The speaker requires eight type D alkaline batteries, or it can simply be plugged into a standard electrical outlet. Next, this speaker has an S-video output functionality, which means that it can replay still images or videos on an external display, like a television. Finally, the Harman Kardon Go Play II has independently amplified woofers (for low frequencies) and tweeters (for high frequencies). This is meant to make the sound quality clearer and richer.
