Marshall Acton II Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - White

Product Information

What irks most, though, is the Acton II Voice’s handling of timing, organisation and dynamics. Rhythmically it is disappointingly messy, with even straightforward beats left off kilter, while instruments often appear to be speaking to each other in different languages. Combines contemporary technology with iconic Marshall design to deliver hard-hitting sound while retaining a classic look La qualité sonore est incroyablement parfaite ! Les basses et les trebles sont modifiables et la personnalisation de l'égaliseur est disponible directement sur l'application .

Also, Marshall speakers don't propagate sound 360 degrees (unlike Beoplay M5, for example). So the distance from the speakers is also a primary factor here. I'll assume it's either corner or wall placed. If not, shift these values accordingly. Marshall’s own Alexa integration is as fuss-free as we’ve become used to in recent times. Those far-field mics are worth their inclusion, with our requests being noted even when the Acton II Voice is playing at high volume.If you want an even more powerful home speaker, then take a look at the Marshall Stanmore III instead. You get the same sort of design but in a much bulkier speaker, which also means it’s much more powerful, although naturally there’s a higher price tag to match. It delivers high quality, well balanced, natural and powerful sound and is equipped with three dedicated class D Amplifiers that power dual tweeters and a subwoofer The only downside to the design is that it's not water-resistant so you'll need to make sure you put it somewhere away from any risk of spills or splashes. If you're going to be listening to your speakers in an apartment flat without significant sound proofing, it might be even more important than the loudness. In terms of size, the Marshall Acton II resembles its mobile counterpart as if cut from the spec sheet. However, the Kilburn II, which we already tested , is optimized for mobile use with a battery and carrying handle, while the Acton II is a pure home model. However, the appearance and detailing of the cabinet excited us even more here, the smallest model in Marshall’s home series really brings the feel of the legendary guitar amps into the living room.

Additionally they often emphasize the importance of placement, here is an example: https://www.svsound.com/blogs/subwoofer-setup-and-tuning/75365187-the-art-of-subwoofer-placement There are plenty of positives: the Acton II Voice unsurprisingly offers a large sound for its size, and the bass response is rather impressive. We wouldn’t tamper too much with the EQ settings – dialling in any further low end could tip the balance overboard – but out of the box, that woofer, alongside the speaker’s rear-firing reflex port, works hard for its money. A better-sized speaker for general use than its pricier sibling the Marshall Stanmore, the great-sounding, incredibly well-connected – and very expensive – Marshall Acton is ultimately let down by its unreliability as a wireless speaker. It's a nice try, but this is arguably style over substance. However, the highlight is surely its deep and detailed sound quality, which will especially impress anyone after bass and volume. We dislikedIn the end, this becomes an advantage for Kilburn II in terms of scoring higher with the decibel metric. The variation between modes isn’t a huge change, just enough to hear the difference. But, bearing in mind this is a small Bluetooth speaker, it does well to offer more manual tuning. You can even change the brightness on the indicator lights if you want – a lovely option that shows Marshall has thought about this in great detail.

But still, Kilburn II is listed at 100.4 decibel at 1 meter whereas the Acton II at 98 decibel at 1 meter. It seems like Kilburn II is stronger?

Pure Woodland with DAB+ review

The Marshall Stanmore 2 is simply amazing for low-end and if you play a bass guitar in very low notes i.e under 80 Hz then you will be amazed at how well the speaker is able to handle those notes. The woofer works hard when it comes to mids and highs. This speaker lets you enjoy clean and precise audio even at high audio levels. It has a bass reflex system which comes with a port that helps in increasing the efficiency even at low frequencies so that you enjoy the stellar sound at all times. It is equipped with advanced components such as two 15 watt class D Amplifiers that powers its tweeters and a 50 watt class D amplifier that drives its mighty subwoofer.
