Marshall's Middleton Bluetooth speaker does its guitar amp lineage proud with a sound that's big and clear.
Marshall Middleton review: a road-worthy portable powerhouse MSRP $299.99 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Marshall's Middleton does its classic guitar amp lineage proud with big, clean sound and rugged portability.” Pros Cons It’s tough to say if Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel would love the Marshall Middleton Bluetooth speaker. Granted, it doesn’t go to 11.
Drivers The front grille of the Middleton is a single 0.6-inch tweeter paired with a passive radiator that I discovered handles the right channel of the speaker’s stereo sound, while the same array is repeated on the back to take care of the left channel. Two 3-inch woofers push the low-end out of the left and right sides.
The Middleton’s rubber carrying strap is firmly connected to the base, making it easy to grab and take to the beach or pool. Sound quality and performance I usually do “in the box” and “setup” sections in these reviews, but it was all so uneventful that I didn’t need to. Pairing with my smartphone or computer is as easy as you’d expect, and in the box all you’ll find is a USB-A to USB-C cable , the strap, and a user’s manual.
From the opening riff of Whole Lotta Love to Angus Young’s Back in Black solo to Slash’s chirpy-sweet Paradise City intro, it was clear that the Middleton loves guitars. At mid volume, the Middleton easily filled my small office with sound, with tight and controlled mids that give distortion guitars crunch and vocals some chest punch, and high frequencies that added clean definition to instrumentation like cymbals and hi-hats, and the “s” sound in lyrics.
