Marshall Acton III is larger than ordinary portable Bluetooth speakers, such as Marshall's Emberton series, but it is the smallest one in the entire Marshall "home series", so it is a relatively moderate "body". Acton III still continues a series of classic designs of Marshall. The whole speaker is a wooden frame, the top and left and right sides are imitation leather texture, and the front is a white fiber woven mesh cover. The handwritten Marshall logo is placed in it, and a strong retro style is blowing. Brass color matching will naturally not be absent. On the top of the speaker, various physical buttons are arranged in sequence, which are switches such as 3.5mm input port, audio source switching, volume control, high and low bass control buttons, etc. Under the texture of the metal in the whole area, it has been processed by a layer of wire drawing. This black and gold combination is undoubtedly a more classic and restrained design combination.
In the upper control area of Acton III, the classic logo of "EST.1962" is lightly engraved in the upper middle position. In addition, the upper and lower lever-type switch keys have been treated with plaid on the surface, which can be regarded as a It is a bright color under the low-key look and feel of the whole machine.
In terms of parameters, Acton III is equipped with a 30W woofer and two 15W tweeters, which can dive down to a frequency of 45Hz at a minimum. At the same time, it has a built-in dynamic loudness balance, so as to ensure the balance of the tones at various volumes.
Of course, as an active speaker, the full strength of this Acton III can only be exerted after connecting to the 3.5mm wired input. Compared with the richness of the low frequency, the middle and high frequency of the Acton III are more balanced. But what is more surprising is that this time the high frequency part of Acton III is clearer in terms of hearing. Compared with ordinary portable speakers, because of the larger sound unit, household Bluetooth speakers like Acton III, in In terms of presence and sense of space, it must have better performance, especially when the instrument is soloed, it can obviously feel more layers.
It is worth noting that after connecting to the Marshall Bluetooth App, Acton III provides a "position compensation" option, which can adjust the sound quality in more detail by placing the position. In addition, the equalizer effect can also be adjusted in the App, which is consistent with the physical treble and bass knobs on the speaker.
The highlight of the speaker is the sound quality, but for Marshall's products, the retro classic shape gives it a natural decorative attribute. In terms of sound quality, Acton III still maintains Marshall's stable "rock" tuning style, and the dual connection of active and Bluetooth enriches the way this product is used. If you belong to the audience who pursue individuality, I believe you will feel a stable upgrade from Acton III.
