Portable Retro Speakers

Marshall's Portable Speaker Designs are Modeled After Classic Guitar Amps

— May 8, 2019 — Tech
Marshall's recently launched a collection of portable speaker designs styled after its Marshall guitar amp and the rest of its speaker collection. The new retro-inspired speakers include the Stockwell II and the Tufton, each of which boats a vertical shape and references the style of a portable radio.

The battery-powered speakers feature multi-directional stereo sound and 20 hours of battery life, even though the Stockwell II is now the smallest portable speaker from Marshall's and Tufton is now the largest.

Thanks to its small size, the ultra-compact Stockwell II is the most travel-friendly portable speaker of the bunch and it also has the potential to be used to charge other devices on the go. The adventure-ready speaker is also the most durable of its kind, as it offers the highest level of water protection.
