Q: Does this system pair with another one to create surround sound?
A: The Middleton speaker can be stacked with another Middleton speaker through the Marshall Bluetooth app, however, they will put out the same audio it isn't possible to setup stereo playback with the two speakers.
Q: Does it play stereo & if so, does stereo play require a paired set of speakers to do so?
A: Hello, thanks for your interest in the Middleton speaker. The Marshall Middleton is a stereo speaker, using a unique technology called "True Stereophonic" to provide multi-directional stereo sound. While it produces a 360-degree audio experience, it does have distinct left and right channel separation for a true stereo effect. This is built into the one speaker, you don't require two speakers to get the stereo sound.
A: Hello, the Middleton has 2 X 20 watt drivers for the woofers and 2 X 10 watt drivers for the tweeters. In terms of loudness, we measure the volume output by its SPL rating. The Middleton has an SPL rating of 87 dB SPL @ 1 m.
Q: Will this work with a Samsung TV
A: It worked with my LG TV and I used it once as a mini sound bar and it worked well. It synced up to the picture but I’m not sure about the Samsung TV. It’s possible if it can add devices via Bluetooth. I made sure to check again that it connects before replying to this question. Hope this helps.
Q: Will this speaker work with my Audio Technica turntable?
A: Hello, In order to connect to the Marshall Speakers via Bluetooth, the turntable must support Bluetooth 4.0 or more recent. It is also useful if the turntable has a Bluetooth transmitter with a selection screen, as customers report mixed success with auto-pairing our speakers to devices that do not have a selection screen available.
Q: Hey, hey speaker volume is a concern what are the watts?
A: Plenty of power to get loud
A: For one year. If it is beyond that, good luck getting help. They have a difficult time keeping parts on hand, so they may not offer out of warranty work. Happened to me with my Middleton speaker, April 2025. Two months out of warranty.
Q: Will the speaker play when charging?
A: Yes it can. If I could post a small video clip to show you, I would, but I can’t.
