Design


Design

The elegant Stanmore II Bluetooth, which comes in white, brown and black, operates on the same fundamental tenet as the rest of Marshall’s products: It appears to be a little guitar amplifier. However, it’s not exactly small, measuring 13.78 x 7.68 x 7.28 inches (WxHxD) and weighing a hefty 10.25 pounds. With a leather grain body and a tweed-like cloth grille with brushed aluminium, and gold-colored highlights, the Stanmore does justice to Marshall Amp’s classic style.

Volume, bass, and treble adjustment knobs, a power switch, a play/pause button, and an audio source button for switching between Bluetooth mode and aux or RCA modes are all included on the control panel up top. The top of the device has a 3.5mm aux input, while the back panel has an RCA input.

Sound Quality

Sound Quality

When turned up, the Marshall Stanmore II Voice has a brash, brazen sound that fills the space without degrading the audio quality. There is still enough space in the mids and trebles for a song to breathe, even though the bass may be thundering and hitting with a thud when the music permits it.

For obvious reasons, the majority of the songs we tried out on the speaker were guitar-based. immediately and surprisingly fresh, and when the band started playing, the amp provided a good, larger sound. All 50 watts of the sub’s power are put to use throughout this track. Two 15 watt speakers are added as a complement for the tweeters.

Conclusions

The Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth wireless speaker is an excellent all-around performer, matching or exceeding the scores of much more expensive devices. With a typically pleasing tonal balance, it functions admirably in various contexts and circumstances. Additionally, the Stanmore II performed well in the dynamics category, with good impact, attack, and bass precision. Although there are some concerns when playing music at maximum and loud volumes, where the dynamics performance falters, and distortion starts to show, it is also capable of being quite loud.

    The powerful sound producer and great performer

    By Rahul Singh 

    Length of Use: 1–2 years

    Overall Experience:

    The Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth speaker produces powerful sounds, but given its whole experience, the pricing feels a little expensive. A solid audio performance with deep, rich bass and clear highs.
