Marshall Acton II Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - White

Product Information

Combines contemporary technology with iconic Marshall design to deliver hard-hitting sound while retaining a classic look Comprendre la plage de fréquence : Plus le premier chiffre est bas, plus l'enceinte pourra restituer des sons graves ; plus le deuxième chiffre est élevé, plus l'enceinte pourra restituer des sons aigus It tells us that there will be a significant difference in loudness between the Acton II and Stanmore II. At this point, I thought that if there was a tool that combined both the Spinorama with the room acoustics data, it'd be extremely useful. Over the past few years, Realme has produced fully wireless earbuds that are highly feature-rich. The Realme Buds Air 2 from last year won us over with its excellent sound quality, active noise cancellation, and reasonable price. Realme spent some time perfecting its product, which led to the creation of the Buds Air 3. These […] More

Unless you're an audio expert, technical specs might have confused you here. It certainly did confuse me. If you won't be gentle to these speakers, don't get them. Their coverage and overall structure aren't made to stand against strikes and scratches. It seems like it's almost possible to peel the surface with my bare fingertips. My first beef with decibel metric is that it isn't all that accurate in measuring loudness since it's affected by the room acoustics and materials. 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.

We combined Spinorama data with room acoustics and came up with Soundton. A very simple, 2D online tool that allows you to: Because it's not only difficult to measure, but also fails to deliver what a casual customer cares the most about.

Smaller size of Acton II forces downsizing the amplifiers as well. This is why Acton II is equipped with 30 W woofer and the Stanmore II with 50 W woofer. 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.

I think one of the reasons for that is Marshall's portable speaker Kilburn II. It's just as large as the Acton II. Also, through using the app, the unit can be linked to another Marshall Bluetooth speaker to make a stereo pair. This is useful in case you need to add even more power – or if you want to use them as a 2.1 surround sound system for your phone’s movies. In the end, this becomes an advantage for Kilburn II in terms of scoring higher with the decibel metric.

We're also not completely convinced by the concept of a Marshall multi-room system; you might buy one iconic-looking Marshall speaker, but wouldn't two, three for four look a little odd in your home? One thing it can do is adjust the sound depending on the placement of the speaker in your home. You open the app and choose Placement Compensation, which then lays out questions about whether the speaker is close to an edge or not and whether it’s close to a wall or placed in a corner. The speaker will do the rest, giving you the best audio experience possible for where you plan to keep it.Even if RCA wasn't another deal on the table when deciding between Acton and Stanmore, I'd still get the Stanmore...
