Marshall expands its premium speaker lineup with the compact Bromley 450, a junior-sized companion to their highly-rated Bromley 750 party speaker. The new model retains the iconic guitar-amp motif while offering a more portable, less expensive option. Despite its smaller frame, it delivers Marshall's signature "True Stereophonic 360-degree sound" technology that creates a more immersive audio experience than its size suggests.

The Bromley 450 carries over lighting effects inspired by '70s stage shows but lacks the "sound character" control found in its larger sibling. Users can expect over 40 hours of playtime with the ability to swap batteries on the fly. Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the included mic and instrument inputs, making it suitable for impromptu gigs or extended parties that outlast the battery life.

Measuring 360 x 261 x 492mm and weighing just under 27 lbs, the Bromley 450 is approximately 25% shorter and half the weight of the Bromley 750. With its IP55 dust and water resistance rating, it's designed for both indoor and outdoor events. The speaker will retail for $800 when it launches on March 31, positioning it as a premium portable option despite being the smaller model in Marshall's party speaker series.
