Marshall has unveiled the Stockwell III, a portable Bluetooth speaker with significant upgrades over the Stockwell II. The most notable improvement is battery life: the new model promises over 40 hours of playback on a single charge, compared to the previous model's 20 hours.
The speaker features Marshall's proprietary True Stereophonic technology for 360-degree sound regardless of placement. It also includes a dynamic loudness algorithm that automatically balances bass, mids, and highs at different volume levels, boosting low and high frequencies during quiet listening.
Visually, the Stockwell III retains Marshall's iconic design, resembling a miniature guitar amplifier. It comes with a synthetic leather strap, a velvety finish, and a brass control panel for track switching, preset selection, and sound adjustment.
The speaker has an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use, by the pool, or while traveling. Marshall has also made several components user-replaceable, including the strap, battery, front and rear grilles, and the silicone cover.
Despite the improved battery life, the Stockwell III remains lightweight at approximately 1.4 kg, making it easy to carry and use on the go. It is available now in two color options on Marshall's official website, with retail availability starting August 4.
