UK distribution of the Citation wireless speaker line is now the responsibility of Harman's Luxury Audio Group (LAG), and so joins Arcam, JBL Synthesis, Lexicon, Mark Levinson, and Revel.

Harman Kardon's Citation series was launched in 2019 and brings together smart technology, and attention to aesthetic detail says LAG. Features such as Scandinavian industrial design, including premium blended wool fabrics from Danish textile house Kvadrat, merge with multi-room capabilities.

The latest Citation line includes multiple countertop speaker options; HDMI-equipped soundbars; a powered wireless subwoofer; surround speakers; and powered speakers. All Citation speakers offer wireless capability and models integrate Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, Google Assistant, and hi-res audio support.

Scott Campbell, Director Sales at Luxury Audio Group, Global, told StereoNET:

The Citation series is a tremendous addition to the HARMAN Luxury Audio Group. The brand's smart mix of cutting-edge tech and industrial design delivers a compelling line; one which perfectly complements our other five brands. Citation is a great conversation starter for our dealers and, ultimately, a further rewarding path to achieving more business and producing more satisfied customers.

New Citations

Upcoming Citation line model launches were previewed at CES at the start of the year. The new line-up includes the Oasis (above), a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speaker which features Hey Google, DAB/DAB+ radio, a voice-controlled alarm clock and an integral wireless charge-pad, making it perfect for use with the latest smartphones.

Additionally, the Harman Kardon Citation Multibeam 700 soundbar sports MultiBeam surround sound technology with room calibration as well as housing seven drivers, HDMI connectivity, and comes complete with a full-colour LCD display. As seen in the picture above, the Citation Multibeam 700 can be partnered with the Sub S – the line's new compact, wireless subwoofer capable of powering 100 watts.

Another new arrival is the Citation 200. This neat, portable 'wire-free' design comes with a docking cradle, enabling up to eight hours playback time from a single charge, which together with its IPX-4 splash-proof rating, makes the Citation 200 the ideal companion for time spent near the water's edge.
