Awake NY and Marshall Launch Limited Edition Acton III Speaker

Awake NY and audio equipment supplier Marshall have collaborated to create a limited edition Acton III speaker. The contributors honor New York City's cultural epicenter by unveiling an intergenerational campaign that celebrates art, design, and community in anticipation of the upcoming release.

The reimagining of Marshall's smallest speaker preserves the original essence of the vintage design while including striking elements from the Awake NY team. A black-on-black checker pattern adorns the leather exterior, complemented by blue accents in the control center. Marshall's iconic 3D metal logo is contrasted with Awake NY's wordmark, which is printed on the driver cover of the speaker's front.

The speaker features Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and a 3.5 mm analog input, along with Built-in Dynamic Loudness that automatically adjusts sound for an enhanced listening experience.

In 2024, the partners initiated “Live From Awake NY,” a year-long musical event series with exclusive product releases and continuous support for the Queens Teens Institute for Art and Social Justice. The showcases included small performances by both young and known artists at the Awake NY flagship.

The Awake NY Edition Acton III is currently available for pre-order at Marshall's online store and will be released on Awake NY's site on February 13.
