QuestionWill I be able to plug and play to a record player? It sounds like without a control panel you cannot connect a device via BT? Would be looking to run satellite radio receiver via BT and plug to something like an audiotechnica at a place with no Wi-Fi.
Asked 1 year ago by Birdy.
- Answer Hi Birdy, thanks for your question. Marshall Speakers can connect to a record player or turntable via 3.5mm aux cable or RCA input. A pre-amp will be required in the setup as well. For assistance, please reach out to the Marshall Support Team via the official online shop.

QuestionHow many watts is this speaker?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello, thanks for your question. We don't measure the wattage of the speakers as it varies across so many factors. Instead, we measure the SPL rating which is comparable across all models and brands. The Acton III has an SPL rating of 95 dB @ 1 m.

QuestionCan it be used as a guitar amplifier?
Asked 1 year ago by Edbo.
- Answer It's so tempting to use it as an amp because of how it looks. I haven't tried this before but it does not have the right jack plug for the guitar!

QuestionI still haven’t found the specs where it tells how long the battery life lasts between charging that’s the whole deal with Bluetooth speakers nowadays when you’re outdoors and you’re listening to music and it’s battery battery always runs down first.
Asked 1 year ago by Dean.
- Answer Hi Dean, thanks for your question. The Acton III is not a battery powered speaker, it has to be plugged in to a power source to function. If you are looking for a portable speaker, you will want to look at the Tufton, Middleton, Kilburn II, Emberton II or the Willen.

QuestionCan you use this speaker with a Bluetooth-Out turntable?
Asked 1 year ago by Kat.
- Answer Hello Kat, thanks for your question. In order to connect to the Marshall Headphones 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. Let us know if you have any further questions, or comments.

QuestionHow is the Acton III different from the Acton II Bluetooth Speaker?
Asked 1 year ago by Rider.
- Answer As a professional musician who works with orchestra and choir I can say about Marshall - most terrible sound I have ever worked me. Maybe, it is designed for dance parties. I really regret that I bought it.

QuestionHow many watts?
Asked 2 years ago by Dro.
- Answer Hi Dro, the Acton III has an SPL rating of 95 dB @ 1 m. We don't use Watts as a spec as it is isn't comparable across all speakers and has so many variables that affect it: SPL is a measure that can be used across all products. Hope that helps.
