Marshall and Awake NY have joined forces for a fresh take on the Acton III Bluetooth speaker, bringing together Marshall’s legendary sound with Awake NY’s streetwear-inspired design. But this isn’t just another special edition—it’s a blend of music, fashion, and community-driven initiatives, making it as much about culture as it is about audio.
The Marshall Acton III Awake NY Edition keeps the compact size and powerful performance of the standard Acton III but gets a bold design upgrade inspired by Awake NY’s urban aesthetic. The first thing you’ll notice? The black-on-black checker pattern covering the textured leather shell, giving it a stylish, street-ready look.
Blue accents on the control panel add a pop of color, making the details stand out against the dark background. The classic 3D metal Marshall logo remains front and center, but this edition also includes Awake NY’s branding, subtly printed onto the speaker grille. This marks the first collaboration between Marshall and Awake NY, and the result is a speaker that seamlessly blends retro inspiration with modern street culture.
Even with its fresh new look, the Acton III Awake NY Edition keeps the same powerful sound performance Marshall fans expect. It’s built to fill a room with rich, immersive audio, thanks to a 30W Class D amp for the woofer and two 15W Class D amps for the tweeters. Whether you’re cranking up your favorite playlist or listening at low volume, the speaker maintains balanced highs, clear mids, and deep bass.
Other key features include:
At just 260 x 170 x 150 mm and 2.85kg, it’s compact enough to fit in any space while still delivering a room-filling sound experience.
“This collaboration with Marshall celebrates everything Awake NY stands for: the intersection of culture, creativity, and community,” says Awake NY founder Angelo Baque. “Together, we’ve created something that embodies the energy of our shared values, offering not only functionality but a meaningful experience for everyone who appreciates the transformative power of music and design.”
This collaboration isn’t just about good looks and great sound—it’s also about supporting music and community initiatives. As part of the partnership, Marshall and Awake NY launched “Live From Awake NY”, a year-long music series featuring performances from emerging and established artists at Awake NY’s flagship store.
And it doesn’t stop there. A portion of the proceeds from this limited-edition release will go toward the Queens Teens Institute for Art and Social Justice, a program that provides young artists with resources and opportunities to develop their craft.
The Marshall Acton III Awake NY Edition is available for pre-order now through Marshall’s web store and will officially launch on February 13 on Awake NY’s website.
The price? $279.99 (£259.99 / €299). Given its limited nature, expect it to sell out quickly—especially among collectors, audiophiles, and streetwear enthusiasts. The standard edition of the Marshall Acton III is currently available at a discounted price at Crutchfield and Amazon.
