If you ask professionals which piece of equipment they cannot do without on the jobsite, there’s really only one answer: the radio! This trusty companion keeps tradespeople company around the clock. It’s first to be switched on in the mornings and the last to be turned off. The rich sound from the speakers is what sets the tempo on the job, not the screwdrivers or hammer drills. The GPB 18V-6 C Professional is the first ever Bluetooth® speaker from Bosch, while the GPB 18VH-6 SRC Professional heralds a new generation of jobsite radios featuring DAB+ and FM radio, AUX input, and Bluetooth® connectivity. The robust devices are certified IP54 dust- and splash-resistant with a sealed battery compartment when running on cordless power. They are also compatible with the Professional 12V System, the Professional 18V System and the multi-brand AmpShare battery alliance. The system gives tradespeople maximum flexibility, with the ability to switch quickly between screwdriver, saw, angle grinder, and many other tools in the same voltage class. The battery packs on the GPB 18VH-6 SRC Professional can be charged while the radio is running via the supplied power cable. Thanks to the battery exchange mechanism, switching in a new pack is simpler than with the previous 18V solutions.

Rich sound in top quality

Both devices are built to the same specifications and offer a first-class listening experience. At 88 watts with a 40-watt subwoofer, they offer more than twice as much output as their cube-shaped predecessor model. Featuring high-quality components, smart audio amplifier, and perfectly coordinated hardware and software, the new audio solutions deliver crystal-clear tones and full-bodied bass for an unrivalled music experience – and not just on the jobsite, either. The radio has a large TFT display with three default modes – Indoor, Outdoor, and Voice, for podcasts and other spoken-word content – with optimized sound settings for any location. High and low frequencies are also fully adjustable. The sound settings for the Bluetooth® speaker are optimized for indoor use, with the in-built subwoofer offering a fuller sound compared to other solutions on the market.

Limitless multi-speaker pairing

Any number of compatible devices can be paired with the radio thanks to the multi-speaker function. If multiple GPB 18V-6 C Professional or GPB 18VH-6 SRC Professional radios are on hand, they can be linked up to provide every corner of large jobsites with background music or used to provide entertainment at a large event. The additional devices can be connected to the existing audio stream simply and easily via Bluetooth®.

Ergonomic form and practical features

The shape of both models has been optimized for simple transportation – for example to ensure that the radio doesn’t hit against the leg of the person carrying it. The protective frame that comes with the radio makes it particularly resistant to rough conditions. It can be stacked with an L-Boxx coupling latch and carried across the jobsite together with other tools. The supplied bottle opener – often a practical tool to have around – can be fastened to the rear side. The Bluetooth® speaker can also be retrofitted on request.

The GPB 18V-6 C Professional Bluetooth® speaker and the GPB 18VH-6 SRC Professional jobsite radio are available from September. All prices are recommended retail prices and do not include VAT.
