Features

Classic Marshall Design: The Woburn III features a classic Marshall design, with a vintage-looking front fret, brass control knobs, and the iconic script "Marshall" logo. The Marshal Action III is available in a black, brown or cream vinyl ("leather-look").

3-Way Driver Design: The Marshall Woburn III employs a 3-way driver design with 150 watts of Class D amplification for dynamic, room-filling stereo sound. Two angled 0.75" dome tweeters with integrated waveguides receive 15 watts of power each and deliver a broad high frequency soundstage, while two 2.0 cone midrange drivers also receive 15 watts of power each and offer crisp, detailed vocals. A 6" cone woofer is housed in a bass reflex cabinet with a rear-firing port and receives 90 watts of power for smooth, deep bass response.

  • Bass & Treble: Bass & Treble control knobs are found on the top-panel, allowing you to fine tune high and low frequency sounds.
  • Dynamic Loudness: The Woburn III also features Dynamic Loudness, which automatically adjusts the tonal balance of the sound to ensure your music sounds brilliant at every volume level.
  • Night Mode: Night Mode can be enabled from the Marshal Bluetooth App to reduce louder sounds while ensuring quiet sounds are still audible when connected via HDMI ARC to your TV.

Built-In Bluetooth 5.2: The Marshall Woburn III speaker features built-in Bluetooth 5.2 with support for wireless audio streaming (A2DP) and control (AVRCP), as well as Secure Simple Pairing (SSP). The Marshall Woburn III Bluetooth speaker has a wireless range of approximately 30'.

  • Wireless Audio Streaming (A2DP/AVRCP): You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music, music apps, and other audio content from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer to the Woburn III speaker. You'll also be able to operate basic playback controls from the speaker including Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Volume Up/Down. Advanced music navigation and song/artist/album information will still be done by your Bluetooth-enabled source device.
  • Secure Simple Pairing (SSP): Thanks to support for Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you can pair multiple Bluetooth devices with the Marshall Woburn III speaker and two devices can remain connected at the same time. With two source devices connected and one device is playing, the second connected device cannot start playing until the first device is paused.

Note: The Woburn III does not support Bluetooth hands-free communication for making and answering phone calls.

HDMI ARC: The Marshal Woburn III is also equipped with a HDMI ARC jack, allowing you to connect the speaker system to your TV's HDMI ARC/eARC jack for audio playback from your favorite TV shows, movies, sports, and games. The HDMI ARC jack only supports 2ch PCM (up to 24-bit/96kHz). *Not compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, or other multichannel surround sound formats.

  • Make sure the Woburn III is connected to your TV's HDMI jack labeled "ARC" or "eARC". It will not work with a non ARC or eARC HDMI jack.
  • Make sure your TV's HDMI ARC/eARC jack is set to 2ch PCM. The Woburn III does not support Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Atmos, or other multichannel audio formats.

Dual Aux Inputs: In addition to Bluetooth & HDMI ARC connectivity, the Marshall Woburn II is equipped with two analog Aux inputs. There is a top-panel stereo minijack (3.5mm) Aux input for a wired connection of a temporary external audio source with an analog output or headphone jack, such as a portable MP3 player. There is also a rear-panel stereo RCA input for a permanent wired connection of external audio source with an analog output, such as a CD player.

Note: The speaker does not have a dedicated phono input. To connect a turntable, you'll need a turntable with a built-in phono preamp or an external phono preamp (sold separately).

Top-Panel Controls: Top-panel controls consists of a 2-way switch, push-buttons and brass knobs. There is a Power On/Off switch and Source button. There is also a Volume control knob, Bass knob, and Treble knob. In addition, there is a 3-way rotary knob that operates Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, and Fast Forward/Rewind functions.

Marshall Bluetooth App: The Marshall Bluetooth app (for Apple iOS 14.0+ and Android OS 7.0+) allows control of the Woburn III Bluetooth speaker from your compatible smartphone or tablet via a wireless Bluetooth connection. From the app, you can select between sources (Bluetooth, Aux, RCA). You can also control basic playback functions such as Play/Pause, Previous/Next Track, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Volume Up/Down. In addition, you get access to 3 EQ Presets to customize your music listening experience. The app even offers over-the-air (OTA) updates to ensure the speaker is always up-to-date with the latest firmware and software features.

AC Power with Auto Standby: The included detachable AC power cord (C7/2-prong) plugs into the back of the Marshall Action III speaker and into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately). The speaker system will go into Standby mode when there is no audio signal or no operation for approximately 10 minutes. You can operate button or knob on the top panel, reconnect a Bluetooth device, or play audio via the Aux input to wake up the speaker.

Note: The Marshall Woburn III is not battery powered.

Q
Is there any info on maybe a firmware update in future for pairing these speakers? The power is unbelievable - can you imagine stereo? Please put it in the works - itâ??s Bluetooth so it is possible but I understand the quality is what Marshall is after. Please find a way!!!

Greetings Mark. Thank you for your question. Marshall would have the better answer for this question. Anything is possible with the right software in an app. I have no work on any update at the moment.

Q
Is this a indoor or outdoor speaker?
dominick myan  Jul 02, 2023

A
This sweet new Marshall Woburn III is for indoor use only, Dominick. This speaker has no additional moisture protection that would be essential for outdoor use. What is does have is the retro look of the classic Marshall cabinets mixed with excellent sound quality for TV, analog audio, or streaming sources!

Q
Can you pair two of these speakers to play music from the same source? Jose Velasquez on 01/25/2024

It is not possible to pair two of the Woburn III in order for them to play audio from the same source simultaneously.

Q
Can this speaker play hi res and Dolby atmos audio??
dominick myan  Jun 29, 2023

A
Dominick, thank you for your question. Unfortunately at this point Marshall cannot provide information on the DAC. My assumption is Dolby Atmos will not be decoded, but as more information comes in from them, we can update the answer.
