Marshall launches the Bromley 750 – its first-ever “party speaker” complete with integrated stage lights
Though for decades one of the world’s top guitar amp brands – it still is, of course – recent years have seen Marshall foray further into the world of consumer audio, with products like headphones and bluetooth speakers becoming a staple of its product lineup.
Now, the company is once again pushing into new territory, as it unveils its first-ever “party speaker”, the Bromley 750.

Perhaps the unit’s most intriguing feature isn’t its sound at all, but rather the integration of “stage lighting” on its front panel, which is sure to set the Bromley 750 apart from other similar standalone or party speakers.
These lights have three presets: the first creates an ambient feel in the room, while the second and third “gradually up the energy” by syncing with the music being played through the speaker.
“Inspired by stage lighting, we’ve incorporated lights in a new way, enhancing the atmosphere and elevating the entire experience” says Ella Renneus, Senior Manager Design at Marshall Group.
But how do the Bromley 750’s other specs measure up? The unit is housed in a tactile, premium enclosure, with a brushed metal control panel, water-based PU leather wrap and stamped metal grill. Oh, and it also has an IP54 rating, meaning it’s safe from dirt and rain, if your party is subjected to such elements.
Elsewhere, the Bromley 750 features 360° True Stereophonic sound, with an integrated Sound Character control which can be adjusted to fit the mood or setting.
It also sports 40+ hours of unplugged play time courtesy of its onboard battery – which gets charged when plugged in using an AC cable. There’s also a backup battery, meaning you can vastly extend your unplugged play time.
The Bromley 750 also features a host of inputs so you can connect mics, instruments, and even turntables – everything you need for a good party.
The Bromley 750 weighs 23.9kg and measures 652 x 413 x 355 mm, so you’ll also be pleased to know its fitted with a set of wheels for lugging it around an airport, the sidewalk, or, well, anywhere.

“When we first considered entering the party speaker category, we saw an opportunity to bring something different to a uniform market. By staying true to our identity and what we are great at – prioritising iconic design and superior acoustics – we’ve created a standout product that brings something fresh to an otherwise homogenous category,” says Hanna Wallner, Product Manager at Marshall Group.
“We designed Bromley 750 to be something you want to keep out and show off – a speaker that becomes part of your home and interior. The design is rooted in our heritage, with ‘party’ at its core. It’s bold and straightforward, with every material chosen for a reason – to both look good and withstand countless parties to come,” adds Ella Renneus.
The Bromley 750 will be available from 23 September for £899.99. For more info, head to Marshall.
