Makita has launched a new cordless Bluetooth speaker designed for versatility and quality sound. Powered either by Makita’s 18V LXT or 40VMax XGT batteries, or AC mains power, the MR014G XGT/LXT Jobsite Speaker has been built to withstand the toughest work environments, offering professionals with a choice of music, podcasts, playlists, or even karaoke whatever the location.
The new, compact Bluetooth Speaker is packed with a range of notable features that provide crystal clear, high-quality sound with powerful deep bass, making it an ideal sound system companion on a busy jobsite. Offering 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 high-quality sound and an impressive max volume of 99dB(A).
With a choice of AUX or Bluetooth connection – 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, which is ideal for large scale locations that require a wider coverage of synchronised sound.
Other useful features include a convenient carry handle which doubles as a smartphone stand and a built-in microphone amplifier ideal for making announcements, or even to use for a karaoke session! 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.
