Detailed review of the outstanding features and characteristics of the Marshall Acton II speaker

Marshall Acton Not just a mini bluetooth speaker, but a product with a strong musical personality and classic - modern aesthetic taste.

Vivid sound from 3-driver design – small but powerful

Don't let the compact size fool you – Marshall Acton Equipped with 3 independent drivers, including two ¾ inch dome tweeters and a 4 inch woofer placed in front. This structure helps the speaker clearly reproduce the entire sound range, from sharp highs to smooth mids and tight bass, meeting the needs of both light music and bass-heavy music genres.

With the rear bass-reflex design, the speaker also enhances the depth of the bass range, avoiding the phenomenon of bass being "flooded" in open spaces. In actual use, the 3-driver structure helps create a full sound effect, clear stereo and deeper sound space than single-driver speakers in the same price range.

Wide frequency range of 50Hz – 20kHz for a complete listening experience

Frequency response is key to sound detail. With a frequency response of 50Hz – 20kHz, the Acton II can reproduce most sounds in the human audible spectrum – from thick kick drums to clear cymbals, violins, or female vocals.

This is the standard frequency range of high-quality bookshelf speakers, showing that Marshall has seriously invested in the technical aspect to reproduce the sound faithfully and balanced. In practice, Acton II handles instrumental songs such as jazz, acoustic well, and does not distort or crackle when playing strong electronic music.

60W Class D power – powerful, energy efficient and distortion free

Power is the next highlight: Acton II has a total power of 60W RMS, divided equally between 3 separate Class D amplifiers: 30W for the woofer and 15W for each tweeter. Class D circuits are famous for their high energy conversion efficiency (~90%), cooler operation and more durable than traditional analog amplifiers.

With this power level, the speaker can reach a maximum SPL of 98dB at 1m, enough to "fill" the sound for rooms of 20-25m² without the need for additional speakers. Even at high volume levels, the speaker still maintains clean sound, no distortion, and the bass is still solid and not boomy.

Modern and flexible connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 + AUX 3.5mm

Not only strong in sound, Marshall Acton also scores points in modern connectivity. The speaker supports Bluetooth 5.0, a new connection standard with fast transmission speed, connection distance up to 10 meters and less delay than old standards.

Users can connect 2 devices at the same time and switch easily back and forth. This is especially convenient for listening to music from phones, laptops or tablets. For those who prefer more stable sound quality, Acton II also supports a 3.5mm AUX port, suitable for direct connection to non-Bluetooth devices such as dedicated music players or CD players.

Marshall's iconic design – nostalgic and sophisticated

It is impossible not to mention the “Marshall-branded” appearance. Acton II has a classic retro design with a vinyl outer layer, premium metal mesh, a prominent metallic gold Marshall logo and analog knobs on the top – both for adjusting volume, bass, treble, and creating a realistic “analog” feeling when used.

Compact size (260 × 160 × 150 mm), weight only about 2.85 kg, suitable for placing on desk, shelf, small bar or bedroom space. This is a speaker model that you can use as a high-end furniture, not just an audio device.
