Marshall Launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV Home Speakers

Marshall launched its Acton IV and Stanmore IV home speakers this week, representing the fourth generation of the brand's popular audio devices. These new models integrate upgraded acoustic capabilities with Marshall's signature analog aesthetic, aiming to provide an enhanced listening experience. Both speakers feature a refined brass control panel, updated with a media jog and a distinct power switch, complemented by tactile knobs for adjusting volume, bass, and treble. A new customizable M-button allows users to quickly access personalized EQ settings or Spotify Tap functionality.

The Acton IV and Stanmore IV offer versatile connectivity options, including RCA and AUX inputs for wired devices like turntables, alongside Bluetooth streaming. A significant new feature is Auracast™ multi-speaker connectivity, enabling users to link multiple speakers together via Marshall’s Heddon hub for a broader soundstage. This technology allows for synchronized audio playback across several devices, expanding the listening environment.

In line with Marshall's commitment to sustainability, both the Acton IV and Stanmore IV are constructed using FSC™-certified wood and incorporate recycled materials in their build. This initiative underscores the company's efforts to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining product quality and design integrity.

The Acton IV is available for £260 GBP ($330 USD), and the larger Stanmore IV is priced at £350 GBP ($430 USD). Both models are offered in classic black or cream finishes and are available for purchase immediately through Marshall's official website and select retail partners.
