Review on Portable acoustics Harman/Kardon Go Play Mini, 100 W, white by Adam Woods ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

In the service, the replacement costs 5t. rub. Decided to do it myself. I could not find Li-Pol cans of the right size to fit in a standard compartment. I bought more in capacity (4600 mah) and size. Didn't fit in original compartment. I just put it in the internal volume of the column (realizing that this should affect the bass register). I removed the charge-discharge controller from the old battery and soldered it to the new Li-Pol. (the column will not work without a native controller). Everything worked, but the bass (due to the reduction in internal volume) has changed a bit. In the process of fine-tuning and repeated assembly, I realized that the tightness of the seals still greatly affects. The tightness there is not complete, but its degree affects the operation of passive radiators (they are responsible for the bass register). There are several sealing contours (along the perimeter of the case, around the speakers, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe power connectors, and in the battery compartment). Even at the factory, when assembled, the seals fit a little differently, so the bass on different speakers can play a little differently. I checked by listening to several columns by enumeration. Conclusion - when people discuss the quality of the bass, you need to understand that it plays a little differently for everyone.

Pros
  • I have been using the column for 1.5 years. The first year was absolutely amazing. I like to go in for sports on the street under club music with powerful basses. I put it on the trunk of a bike or on the sports ground. Powerful bass, two silk tweeters give good upper mids and highs. The frequency balance is quite dependent on the volume. At medium volume, the bass sticks out a little, at 70% volume everything is quite balanced, at full volume the bass begins to lag behind the middle and high (when running on battery power). The bass is more powerful from the network and does not lag behind up to 90% of the volume. In general, the sound quality is the best of portable systems up to 15 thousand.
Cons
  • A year and 4 months later, problems with the battery began. Discharged quickly. Sometimes the column turned off at half charge and did not come to life until the power was connected. I am good at electronics, I often repair cell phones myself. Dismantled the column. Battery 3000 mah. He puffed up a little. I dismantled it, inside the charge-discharge controller board. It was she who turned off the battery during a sharp voltage drop of swollen Li-Pol cans.
