Full details

The Marshall Acton IV is a compact home speaker designed for listeners who prioritize high-fidelity sound and iconic aesthetics in smaller living spaces. Its standout feature is its powerful, clear bass response and the integration of Auracast technology for seamless multi-room audio expansion. While it excels in sound quality and design, potential buyers should note that as a dedicated home speaker, it lacks an internal battery and requires a constant connection to a wall outlet for operation.

FAQs

Does the Acton IV have a battery?

No, the Acton IV is a mains-powered home speaker and must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Can I connect multiple devices at once?

Yes, the speaker features multi-host functionality, allowing you to switch between paired Bluetooth devices easily.

Is the cream finish prone to staining?

The cream vinyl is durable, but like any light-colored material, it should be kept away from ink, dye transfer from clothing, and sticky substances.

Does it work with a wired connection?

The primary interface is Bluetooth, but users should check the rear panel for available auxiliary input ports.

Can I use this with a record player?

Yes, you can connect a turntable, provided it has a built-in pre-amp or you are using an external pre-amp connected to the auxiliary input.

Troubleshooting

Speaker will not pair with Bluetooth device

Ensure the speaker is in pairing mode by holding the source button and check that your device's Bluetooth is turned on and searching.

Sound appears distorted at high volumes

Adjust the bass and treble knobs on the top panel to lower the intensity of the frequency ranges that may be causing the speaker to strain.

Auracast feature not syncing

Ensure all devices are updated to the latest firmware and are within standard operating range of one another.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Acton IV, connect the power cord to a wall outlet and use the top-mounted power toggle to wake the device. Use the Bluetooth pairing button to connect your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The speaker is compatible with all standard Bluetooth-enabled audio sources. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges on the cream vinyl finish. Instead, use a soft, dry lint-free cloth to dust the cabinet. If the brass knobs accumulate fingerprints, a light wipe with a microfiber cloth will maintain their luster. Always keep the speaker in a climate-controlled environment to preserve the integrity of the internal drivers and external upholstery.
