QuestionCan this be used without the Marshall app? Can someone just connect via Bluetooth directly?
Asked 2 years ago by Chaz.
- Answer Hello Chaz, thanks for your question. The Acton II Bluetooth speaker can be connected to your device without the Marshall Bluetooth app; in fact, you will always need to manually connect the speaker to your phone or device directly to be able to stream to the speaker. The app will provide some additional features such as remote control, an equalizer and firmware updates. If you don't use the app, we recommend connecting the speaker to the app regularly to check for any available updates.

QuestionCan this be used to plug into a record player/turntable and be played without connecting to bluetooth? If so, what type of wire should I buy?
Asked 2 years ago by Gloria.
- Answer YES, but... If your player/turntable has a built in pre-amp you should be able to connect directly to this speaker. When you look at the player,, if you see "line" output or "aux" output then you likely have a built in pre-amp. If you only see "phono" then you need to connect to a pre-amp then to the speaker. If the outputs are "line" or "aux" and are RCA (red and black) then get a male RCA to 3.5mm cable. If output is only phono you'll have to find an inline pre-amp that's wired male RCA to 3.5mm or with cables to fit inputs from player and outputs to 3.5mm speaker. This speaker is exceptional and will be the perfect match for a record player with it's gorgeous retro styling and built in brass knobs for adjusting treble and bass. In addition to making everyone jealous of the looks it will then blow them away with how much great sound comes out. I hope you come back and read this and buy it because I love this awesome speaker and it's absolutely perfectly suited for matching up with a record player. $150 is a great price too. I paid much more years ago and it was a great value as it's still my favorite speaker

QuestionCan I use this to connect wireless microphone system?
Asked 1 year ago by Dee.
- Answer Hello, thank you for contacting us. I am sorry, this would not be possible with the speaker itself as it does not have a preamp and can only accept LINE-LEVEL input signals. This means you would have to have separate audio mixer plugged into the Acton II Bluetooth speaker. I hope this helps. Take care Dee :)

QuestionWill this speaker pair (well) to a Bluetooth-enabled record player?
Asked 2 years ago by baileyInquiry.
- Answer Thank you for your review. Unfortunately in many cases the speaker will only work with a turntable that has a Bluetooth selection screen. Auto-Pairing will not work. We recommend using with Aux input with an RCA to 3.5mm adapter.

QuestionDoes these speakers alsoable to be used as a guitar amplifier
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer While it looks like a Marshall guitar amp, it only has a 3.5mm connector, so you will need an adaptor. It should work but the speakers are tiny and won't really do justice to be a guitar amp. I'd suggest get yourself a real guitar amp, Marshall or any other brand

QuestionCan I connect the Action 2 to my TV ?
Asked 2 years ago by Buck.
- Answer Yes, assuming you have sound output from TV/av receiver etc. The speaker has 3.5 mm input so you need a cable with whatever the TV audio output is, RCA/optical/3.5mm etc., on one side and 3.5mm on the other side.

QuestionWhat is difference between model acton2BT and acton2bluetooth?
Asked 2 years ago by Hyo.
- Answer Different models with different components. While largely the same, the different models won't be able to pair with other Marshall speakers depending on the model. The newer "BT" models wont be able to pair with any "Bluetooth" model speakers you may already own from Marshall.
