Marshall launches its new lightweight party speaker, the Bromley 450
Marshall, purveyor of vintage-inspired headphones and speakers, is launching its second party speaker, the Bromley 450. The 450 is a lightweight and compact companion to Marshall's first party speaker, the Bromley 750. But despite its smaller stature, it has a big presence in the loudest of rooms.
“With Bromley 450, our goal was to take everything we loved about the Bromley 750 and bring it into a more compact form. It delivers the same signature sound: fast, powerful bass, clean mids, and detailed highs," says Malcolm Kennedy, Director of Audio & Acoustics at Marshall Group.
The Bromley 450 comes with True Stereophonic 360 sound and over 40 hours of battery life. We've come to expect long battery life in Marshall's devices, having tested the Marshall Major V headphones, which have over 100 hours of battery life. It's encased in a water-based PU leather wrap with a metal grate toting Marshall's signature logo as well as integrated lights. Hanna Wallner, Product Manager at Marshall Group, adds, "This speaker is smaller and more affordable yet still packed with impressive features including sound that hits every corner, a stage light-inspired light show, and our unique Marshall design.”
Unlike the Bromley 750, which can be wheeled like a suitcase, the Bromley 450 has a built-in handle, meaning you will have to carry it by hand. Luckily, it's lightweight, weighing just over 26 pounds. It's fit for gatherings both indoors and outside with an IP55 rating, making it dust and splash-proof. It includes two combo jacks so you can equip it with mics or DJ equipment.
The speaker has Bluetooth and Auracast, allowing you to connect other Auracast devices for surround sound. The Bromley 450 retails for $799.99 and will be available to shop starting March 31.
