Marshall reinvents Blumlein stereo sound in the updated Killburn II portable speaker

Introducing Killburn II, a portable speaker that packs a punch. Featuring the multi-directional Blumlein stereo sound, which will immerse you in your music and Bluetooth Qualcomm ® aptX™. Free from the confines of wires and cords, Killburn II offers 20+ hours of portable playtime on a single charge.

Blumlein Stereo Sound

Kilburn II is constructed with British engineer Alan Blumlein’s original idea of stereophonic sound. By separating out the spatial content of stereo recordings, Kilburn II enhances the size and reassembles the signal in a way that can be projected in all directions. The experience is completely different to other portable speakers on the market, and results in a rich, multi-directional sound that immerses the listener in their music and gives them a true 360° sound experience – indoors or outdoors.

20+ hours of portable

Kilburn II weighs just 3kg and offers 20+ hours of portable playtime on a single charge. You can track the speaker’s battery life with the visual battery indicator located on the top panel.

Bluetooth 5.0 aptX

Kilburn II comes equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 aptX technology for wireless music play. Play music with any Bluetooth device at a range of up to 30 feet away from the speaker.

Multi-host functionality

Kilburn II features multi-host functionality so you can easily connect and switch between two Bluetooth devices. Now you and a friend take turns playing what you want to hear. 

Marshall Voice

The speaker was launched at IFA, the consumer electronics show in Berlin. Marshall also unveiled its debut to the smart speaker market - Marshall Voice - which will launch in the autumn with Amazon Alexa, followed by the Google Assistant later this year. 

About Marshall

Marshall is a true rock legend. A distinct and expressive sound combined with an iconic stage presence that has inspired music fans around the world for over five decades. This unparalleled amount of wisdom has been distilled and fused into every part of Marshall headphones and speakers. Nothing has been compromised when expanding the Marshall heritage of big stage performance to the individual enjoyment of good music.

The legacy began in a small Hanwell drum shop in 1962, where Jim Marshall sought to give a bunch of then-local guitarists the sound they wanted – a sound that was harder, crunchier and more rich. The result was the JTM45, an amp that reverberated with a sound that was much heavier than anything ever heard before. In a twist of rock and roll fate – those guitarists, much like the Marshall name, would go on to revolutionise music forever.
