<\/div>\nThe Zound Industries\/Marshall Amplifiers collaboration has made a teeny addition to its line of Bluetooth speakers. The Emberton is water-resistant, offers over 20 hours of playback per charge and promises to throw out 360-degree sound “that only Marshall can deliver.”<\/p>\n
Marshall is of course best known for its guitar amps, but branched out into on-ear and in-ear headphones<\/a> a while back, and then more consumer audio gear, including Bluetooth speakers. The latest to join the party was the compact Uxbridge Voice<\/a> back in March, but now there’s an even smaller family member in the shape of the Emberton.<\/p>\n Typically, small speakers can be a bit lacking but there are exceptions – such as the excellent JBL Flip series. At 2.68 x 6.3 x 2.99-in (68 x 160 x 76-mm), the Emberton is roughly in the same size class and is reckoned to pack quite a punch thanks to two Class D amplifiers powering two 10-W full-range drivers and something Marshall is calling True Stereophonic sound. The portable speaker throws out multi-directional sound that’s undergone some digital wizardry to separate the spatial content of stereo recordings for a sound that’s “louder and larger than its size.”<\/p>\n We naturally can’t comment on the performance without hearing it for ourselves, but we’ve been impressed with the headphones and speakers we have tried (in fact, a pair of first gen Major headphones still find a place in the gig bag to this day).<\/p>\n Aesthetically, this speaker is every bit a Marshall – from the black, white, gray and gold color palette to the amp-like grille out front. It rocks a silicone exterior and that grille is all metal, and the Emberton comes with an IPX7 rating, meaning you can dunk it under a meter of water for 30 minutes if you want to and it will still work when it comes up for air.<\/p>\n Wireless connection to a source device is over Bluetooth 5.0, though supported codecs are not mentioned, playback is controlled using a multi-directional gold knob up top, the battery is good for over 20 hours per charge and it tips the scales at 700 g (24.6 oz).<\/p>\n The Marshall Emberton is on sale from today for US$149.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Paul Ridden<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
