Makita has launched a new cordless Bluetooth speaker. Powered either by the company’s 18V LXT or 40VMax XGT batteries, or AC mains power, the MR014G XGT/LXT Jobsite Speaker offers professionals a choice of music, podcasts, playlists, or even karaoke whatever the location.
The new, compact MR014G Bluetooth Speaker offers 1.8x higher sound pressure levels compared to older models plus an equaliser to adjust levels to suit the choice of music, it includes a 140mm woofer and a 40mm tweeter to deliver 20W of sound and a max volume of 99dB(A).
With a choice of AUX or Bluetooth connection – which the company says is communicable up to 100 metres and guaranteed to 30 meters – it also includes True Wireless Stereo function enabling connection to a second MR014G Speaker to deliver stereo sound. In fact, it can connect with up to ten compatible units to boost the reach of the audio.
Other useful features include a convenient carry handle which doubles as a smartphone stand and a built-in microphone amplifier. A USB port enables mobile charging for other devices and for added entertainment, a built-in LED decorative light can be set to blink in time to the music.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK said: “We are known for our wide range of innovative power tools and cordless technology and we continue to apply this expertise to a wider range of miscellaneous products that offer the same performance, quality, and convenience to jobsites in various ways. With this in mind, we are thrilled to launch our new cordless speaker that joins a growing line up of diverse products that complement our power tool range – spanning site lights, microwaves, kettles, heated jackets and more.”
