Key Specifications of the Edifier Hecate G2500bar
The Edifier G2500 soundbar is designed to be compact, making it about 30% shorter than traditional soundbars. This compactness makes it a great fit for smaller desktops without occupying too much space. It is equipped with 53mm dual full-range neodymium magnetic drivers along with a dual reflex tube acoustic system, which produces a rich and immersive audio experience with strong bass.
Advanced Features for Clear Communication

Furthermore, it includes an integrated DSP chip to ensure precise audio processing, offering three distinct sound modes: gaming, music, and movies.

The speaker provides dual connectivity options, such as a USB sound card and Bluetooth 5.4, making it compatible with a variety of devices including smartphones, tablets, PCs, PS4/PS5, and Nintendo Switch. It also comes with a detachable microphone that features AI noise reduction and anti-feedback technology for clear audio capture, adjustable according to user needs.
