Recently, increasing popularity is gainingportable speakers. These small devices save your party from unforeseen circumstances, for example, power outages. Some speakers have the ability to charge gadgets, which is doubly useful. Manufacturers vying to show their novelties, hold presentations and invest a lot of money.

But the columns Marshall do not need a presentation. The company has already won the love of fans around the world. The equipment of this manufacturer is bought even despite the rather high cost.

Manufacturer

Full name of this English manufacturerMarshall Amplification. In the market it is more than 50 years. Since 1962 he has been selling sound amplifiers and loudspeakers. The founder of the company was Jim Marshall. In the electronics industry, the manufacturer has not infiltrated at the expense of the speakers. Marshall initially worked with amplifiers that copied from another company.

In 2014 the company decided to renew itsrange and began to work with headphones and headset. And the next year I tried to create the first smartphone. Now the column is very popular.

Classification

The official website has its own brandclassification of columns. They are divided into four groups. If you translate these names, you can get categories: loud, louder, even louder and portable. The company can not boast of variety. It is aimed at creating a perfect device, so it does not rivet 50 models per year, but devotes a lot of time to each presented.

So, in group "loud" carry two identicalBluetooth Action bars in different colors: black and cream. In the group "louder" are also the same models, but the colors are already three: black, brown and cream. Here is the Stanmore Bluetooth model. In the third "loudest" group, two models cost $ 795 and $ 500. Hanwell Anniversary Edition is presented in black. Woburn is sold in black and cream.

In the group "portable" there are columnsMarshall Kilburn in black, cream and steel color. And also two Stoockwell models, which are almost identical, but one of them is sold together with a flip-case.

Next, we'll look at the most popular options and those that are spoken about on the Internet.

In Search of Loss

A review of the products of some manufacturer is oftenleads the author to the lost models. It happens that the device seems to have been, but on the Internet about it there is almost no information. The same thing happened with the Marshall R-210 speakers. The search for this model has resulted in almost nothing, and to some extent led to a dead end. It was found that there are people in Russia who want to purchase this model, but there is nothing in either the store or the official website. Only from the photographs we managed to find out that the model really existed. They even tried to sell it.

This is the shelf format of acoustics. It is represented by speakers and a subwoofer. The resistance is 8 ohms, and the power supply is 100 watts. Unfortunately, there is no more information about this device.

The same story with the columns Marshall Pershing. Officially, the English company did not have such a device. But it is known that there were some Chinese prototypes. And according to some sources, the device was sold in local stores, but with a modified logo. Many who started the purchase with this acoustics were disappointed in Marshall, although, in fact, the company has nothing to do with this model.

The Chinese counterfeit is presented floorsystem, there is also a shelf format. As users say on the forums, the sound quality of the music from these speakers is terrible. And if the blues, jazz and classics they lose more or less, then more "heavy" music is poorly reproduced. The only thing that can save a person who has become a "happy" owner of this model is a quality amplifier.

Company musician

But from fake products it is worth moving to the real.As already mentioned earlier, the assortment of the company is small. Two models are most popular: Kilburn and Stoockwell. About them also we will talk further.

Usually, when doing an overview of Marshall products,most authors immediately emphasize the design of the model. For this they can not be scolded, because this is the main chip maker. Columns Marshall Kilburn reviews were positive not only for the excellent sound, but also for the old school design.

This is perhaps the most popular model, consideringreviews and availability. The model comes in a large box and gives the impression that there are several products inside. In fact, all the free space is occupied by a foam plastic that protects the column from damage during transportation. In the special compartment is a twisted cable, if you need a wired connection, instruction and two wires for charging.

Looks like this model for his fellow MarshallActon. This time there was a battery and a pen for carrying the device. Of corporate identity, of course, did not refuse, otherwise how would we know that this model belongs to the English manufacturer. All the same basic material is plastic, made under the skin. The assembly is ideal, without any cracks or creaks.

Autonomous work will last 20 hours.This figure is both in the specifications, and is proven in practice. The Bluetooth module proved to be an excellent one, which even works at a distance of 10 meters through several walls.

Musical baby

But the column Marshall Stoockwell is, perhaps,the most compact model. As already mentioned before, it is delivered in the usual form and together with a flip-case. The box is still branded, but relatively more compact than the previous model. Inside there is a device, a charger with an adapter and a manual.

In general, the exterior is almost identicalprevious model. As with all devices from the company, a single style can be traced. This option has become compact, low, narrow and light. An interesting solution was to change regulators. In previous models, they performed over the hull, but now they "hid". To activate one of them, you need to click and it will come out from the panel.

There is nothing new in the connectors and regulators.On the main panel there is a place for the charger. But to use the column as a portable battery, it's enough to connect the gadget to the back panel through the USB port.

Dimensions did not affect the sound qualityboombox. It still almost perfectly conveys the sound. Continues to keep good communication through the wireless interface and lives, thanks to a capacious battery, up to 30 hours of battery life.

Reviews

Columns Marshall and never leave anyoneindifferent. This is the acoustics that can cause admiration. It is difficult to find a person who is dissatisfied with the appearance or sound of any model from this manufacturer. Users always mark the corporate design, because if you do not like the whole old school theme, you do not buy such devices. The sound is brought to delight, which most people call ideal.

All the latest innovations from Marshall are becomingbetter, and the transformation of the device into portable charging has become a huge plus. The only negative that occurs in many reviews is the cost. On average, the speakers cost from 200 to 800 dollars. Such a price may not be available for everyone.
