DESIGN
The brick-shaped Emberton is available in black with a
gray metallic mesh grille on its front face, along with the
familiar white-script Marshall logo. It’s quite compact
at 2.7 by 6.3 by 3.0 inches (HWD), but surprisingly
heavy (1.5 pounds) for its size. Marshall manages to
retain the retro look of previous models while giving the
speaker a slightly modern feel. It has a digital LED
readout in red on the top panel (for battery status)
providing the modern, and a central control panel with

Despite there being an uncovered USB-C port on the
right panel, the Emberton has an excellent IPX7 rating,
meaning it is fully waterproof and can be submerged up
to a meter (though Bluetooth signal doesn’t do well
underwater). The speaker should easily handle rain,
