Awake NY and renowned sound equipment purveyor Marshall have teamed up for the new Acton III speaker with a limited edition design. In honor of the cultural hub of New York City, the collaborators showcase the upcoming release with an intergenerational campaign that celebrates art, design, and community.
The redesign of Marshall's most compact speaker pays homage to its original retro design while bringing bold elements from the Awake NY team. Its leather shell has a black-on-black checker pattern, with blue detailing in the control center. On the front of the speaker, Marshall's classic 3D metal logo can be seen combined with the Awake NY wordmark, printed on the driver cover.
Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and an analog 3.5 mm input, the speaker also boasts Built-in Dynamic Loudness that automatically balances the sound for the best listening experience.
In 2024, the collaborators launched “Live From Awake NY,” an annual musical event series with exclusive product releases and support for the Queens Teens Institute for Art and Social Justice. This includes intimate performances from emerging talent and established artists at the Awake NY flagship.
