Good hosts know it’s all about the playlist

Marshall’s new Acton IV delivers room-filling sound that keeps dinner conversations flowing and workdays a little more enjoyable

Some speakers are meant to be heard. Others quietly become part of your everyday routine. Marshall’s new Acton IV does a bit of both.

Whether you’re hosting friends for dinner, powering through a work-from-home day, or putting on a record after hours, the Acton IV is designed to make every moment sound better. Upgraded tweeters and redesigned waveguides create a wider, more balanced soundstage, while a new bass port delivers cleaner, punchier bass without overwhelming the room. It can also sit flush against a wall, making it easier to fit into smaller spaces or apartment setups.

Marshall has also refined the listening experience with Dynamic Loudness, which keeps music rich and detailed whether you’re playing it softly in the background or turning the volume up for the weekend.

The design stays true to the brand’s signature look, complete with its textured finish, brass control panel, and tactile amp-inspired knobs but now adds a customizable M-button for one-touch access to your favorite playlist or preferred sound settings.

If you’re building a home audio setup, built-in Auracast lets you connect multiple compatible Marshall speakers for synchronized playback throughout the house. Vinyl fans will also appreciate the RCA input, while the Marshall app lets you tweak EQ settings and optimize the sound based on where the speaker sits.

The Acton IV doesn’t try to reinvent what already works. Instead, it takes everything people already love about Marshall’s home speakers and makes it sound and feel even better. Whether it’s background music over dinner or the playlist that gets you through Monday, it’s the kind of speaker that naturally fits into the way you live.

The new Marshall Acton IV is available at Digital Walker
