Marshall's Heddon Wi‑Fi Hub Brings True Multi‑Room Audio
The compact streaming box unites Acton III, Stanmore III and Woburn III speakers while keeping turntables and legacy gear in play.
Summary
- Marshall launches Heddon, a compact Wi-Fi music hub that finally brings true multi-room audio to its home Bluetooth speakers
- The box uses Auracast to broadcast in sync to Acton III, Stanmore III and Woburn III, while pulling in streams from Spotify Connect, Tidal, AirPlay and Google Cast
- Heddon doubles as an analogue bridge with RCA in and out, letting vinyl rigs and older Marshall speakers plug into the new ecosystem at a relatively accessible price point
Marshall’s Heddon is the missing brain Marshall fans have been waiting for, turning scattered Bluetooth boxes into a unified, room-to-room sound system. The palm-sized hub hooks into your Wi-Fi, locks into services like Spotify Connect, Tidal, AirPlay and Google Cast, then rebroadcasts music over Auracast to compatible Marshall speakers so the track follows you without lag or re-pairing. It works natively with the latest Acton III, Stanmore III and Woburn III models and can fold certain legacy units into the party via RCA, stretching the life of older hardware instead of pushing you to upgrade.
Marshall is also using Heddon to reassert its analogue credentials in a streaming-first era. Plug a turntable or CD player into the hub’s RCA input and you can send that warm, physical signal across multiple rooms, blurring the line between heritage hi-fi and modern convenience. The device is designed to be largely app-driven, with the Marshall app handling setup, room assignments and firmware updates, underlining the brand’s plan to treat Heddon as a living platform that can evolve with new features and listening habits over time. Bundle offers for buyers of multiple home speakers signal that Marshall wants Heddon to be the default gateway into its home audio ecosystem rather than a niche accessory.
