mimicking the design of a classic guitar amp, the uxbridge voice is 6.6 inches tall and 5 inches wide. it is small in size yet large in sound, but delivers the signature marshall sound coupled with the helpfulness of amazon alexa.

the speaker boasts a multitude of ways to connect and enjoy your music, so you can listen exactly how you want with no compromises. plus, with alexa you can use your voice to multi-task, hands-free.

using airplay 2 and alexa enables the uxbridge voice to be paired with other speakers that use the same technologies and build a multiroom setup. rather than traditional knobs, the uxbridge’s physical controls include a series of volume rockers that control the volume, bass, and treble up and down. there’s also a play / pause button, and also a button to disable the speaker’s alexa-enabled far-field microphone.

the uxbridge voice comes in white or black colorways and support both bluetooth and wi-fi connections. the speaker will be available on marshall’s website for $199 starting april 9; a google assistant-enabled version of the speaker will be available starting june 11.
