Awake NY and Marshall Turn Up The Volume (Again)

As Marshall and Awake NY have shown us time and time again, the best collabs are about community and creativity. With a shared love for culture and sound, they’ve teamed up to create a special Awake NY Edition of the Marshall Acton III speaker that’s not just delivering great music, but creating an experience that connects people, sparks creativity, and celebrates New York’s energy too.

For their first product collaboration Awake NY and Marshall are bringing us a limited-edition variation of the beloved Marshall Acton III speaker. Staying true to Awake NY and Marshall’s ethos, this speaker isn’t just about blasting your favorite tunes, but about bringing people together through music, culture, and creativity. Blending Marshall’s iconic audio engineering with Awake NY’s city-infused designs, this speaker is just as at home in an artist’s loft as it is in a downtown DJ’s setup.

In terms of design, Awake NY gives the classic Marshall speaker a fresh spin by adding black on black checkered debossing along with blue lighting details. The speaker comes with a wider stereo soundstage to deliver Marshall's immersive signature sound experience and is easy to set up with a pair and play function. Crafted from 70% recycled plastics and vegan leather, and completely free from PVC, this speaker brings the best quality sound and looks out for the planet while doing so. And to top it all with that final touch each speaker rocks the overlapping logos on the grill.

At its core, the Acton III Awake NY Edition is designed to bring people together. That’s why, beyond the speaker launch, Marshall and Awake NY are rolling out “Live From Awake NY”, a series of community nights that brings together young creatives and celebrates New York’s cultural scene. Holding onto their commitment of nurturing the next generation of artists, the collab includes a financial donation to the Queen museum’s Queens Teens Institute for Art and Social Justice, building on brand founder Angelo Baque’s relationship with the museum.. 

And, in true Awake NY fashion, the campaign is a love letter to the heart of this collab: the artists. Shot at three iconic NYC locations, it features homegrown musicians, DJ’s and creators that capture the energy of the city. 

The Acton III Awake NY Edition is dropping for pre-order on February 6 and officially hits the global stage on February 13, available for purchase at Marshall.com.
