Harman Kardon's new Citation line-up includes the portable Citation 200 speaker (£280) complete with charging base, IPX4 splash-proof protection, and built-in rechargeable battery with 8 hours of playtime, as well as the Citation Oasis (£180) multipurpose compact speaker with a built-in alarm clock, wireless phone charging skills and music streaming. We do like that the latter's sleep mode automatically turns off Wi-Fi when you should be asleep.
Additionally, the seven-driver packing Citation Multibeam 700 (£450) enters as the newest compact soundbar in the team and sports a colour LCD, as well as MultiBeam technology. The Multibeam 700 can also be paired with the Citation Sub S (£380) compact, wireless subwoofer. Powered by WiSa technology, these two devices partnered with either Citation Surround or Tower speakers, promise to deliver a low-latency, wireless HD home theatre experience.
The new additions are all wrapped in dirt-repellent and flame-retardant wool fabric by Kvadrat, a European leader in acoustic textiles.
All the new speakers in the Citation Series can be used as a standalone speaker or together, building a powerful 5.1-channel surround sound system. With the Google Assistant built-in, you can control the whole series using your voice.
Furthermore, with the addition of Chromecast and Apple AirPlay capabilities, you get access to hundreds of audio streaming services in HD quality. Once connected on the same Wi-Fi network as Citation, tap the AirPlay or Chromecast icon on any smartphone or tablet and music will play on the Citation speakers.
The new additions of the Citation Series will be available in grey and black from spring 2020.
