Marshall's Heddon Wi-Fi Hub Delivers Authentic Multi-Room Audio

A tiny Wi-Fi music hub that effectively delivers authentic multi-room audio to its home Bluetooth speakers.

Marshall's Heddon is the essential component that Marshall enthusiasts have long anticipated, transforming disparate Bluetooth speakers into a cohesive, multi-room audio system. The compact hub connects to your Wi-Fi, integrates with services such as Spotify Connect, Tidal, AirPlay, and Google Cast, and subsequently retransmits music via Auracast to compatible Marshall speakers, allowing seamless track continuity without delay or the need for re-pairing. It is compatible with the latest Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III models and can integrate select legacy equipment into the system via RCA, so extending the lifespan of older gear rather than necessitating an upgrade.

Marshall is utilising Heddon to reaffirm its analogue authenticity in a streaming-dominant age. Connect a turntable or CD player to the hub’s RCA input to transmit that rich, tangible signal across various rooms, merging traditional hi-fi with contemporary ease. The device is predominantly app-driven, with the Marshall app managing setup, room assignments, and firmware updates, emphasising the brand's intention to regard Heddon as a dynamic platform capable of evolving with new features and listening preferences over time. Bundle promotions for purchasers of numerous house speakers indicate that Marshall aims for Heddon to serve as the primary conduit into its home audio ecosystem, rather than a specialised accessory.
