Power-packed battery and phone-charging capabilities equip Marshall's new Bluetooth speaker for a festival-dominating performance.
Marshall announces the launch of the Kilburn III, the latest addition to its renowned line of Bluetooth speakers. Offering a powerful, high-quality sound, this third-generation model is set to continue the legacy of its esteemed predecessors while introducing several prominent advancements.
One of the standout features of the Kilburn III is its exceptional battery life, clocking in at an impressive 50 hours. This figure exceeds that of the acclaimed JBL Charge 6 by a notable margin, boasting 22 more hours of playtime. Like the JBL Charge 6, the Kilburn III functions as a portable power bank, allowing charging of smartphones and other compatible devices.
Adhering to Marshall's unmistakable rock 'n' roll aesthetic, the Kilburn III maintains the semblance of a mini amplifier. Casters of control knobs for equalization, volume adjustment, and power switch, as well as a play/pause toggle, are all included alongside a detachable velvet-lined carry strap. To further bolster its appeal, the speaker sports a dust and water-resistant IP54 rating, ensuring continued performance under varied environmental conditions.
According to Hanna Wallner, Marshall's Product Manager, the Kilburn III underwent a comprehensive redesign, thereby marking a significant evolution in their product lineup. Enhancements to the acoustic design, visual appeal, usability, and battery life have culminated in a noteworthy upgrade from the Kilburn II.
The Kilburn III is available in two finishes: black and cream, priced at £300 / $380 / €349.
