A:AnswerI didn't own the first version, but an online review stated these improvements in model 2: "New Bluetooth, upgraded battery life with quick charge option and IPX2 rating to protect the speaker from the water splashes are quite worth to be having."
A:AnswerHello there, yes, you can can leave the speaker plugged in without damaging the battery, however to prolong the battery life, we suggest running the battery down and charging it every so often.
A:AnswerHello, great question! If you are looking at wattage, we are going to guess that you want to know which speaker is the most powerful or which speaker is going to be able to play the loudest. Wattage can be misconceiving, so let's take a look at the speakers on a measure that will allow us to compare their audio performances on even ground: SPL rating. This rating gives you a rough idea of how loud the speaker will play with a specific amount of power at a specific distance.
The Stockwell II has an SPL rating of 80 dB SPL @ 1 m; The Kilburn II has an SPL rating of 100.4 dB SPL @ 1 m; and the Tufton has an SPL rating of 102 dB SPL @ 1 m.
If comparing all of the portable models, the Tufton definitely can pump out the loudest tunes. If specifically looking at the portable "II Bluetooth" speakers than the Kilburn II will be the loudest. All 3 of these speakers sound amazing, but the loudest is definitely the Tufton.
A:AnswerThe Kilburn II speaker is an independent, stand-alone speaker: it cannot be used in pairs. If you are looking for speakers to use as coupled pairs for stereo sound, check out the Acton II Bluetooth, Stanmore II Bluetooth or Woburn II Bluetooth speakers.
A:AnswerUsually, yes, as long as your TV offers 3.5 mm aux or Bluetooth as an output. There are of course some exceptions to the rule, we recommend checking the specs of your TV and comparing them with the specs of the speaker. Reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.
A:AnswerThe Kilburn II speaker offers Stereo sound, however not Surround sound. It does have multi-directional speakers which immerse you in your favourite tunes.
A:AnswerHello, yes, the Kilburn II will be compatible with your iPhone. Set the source to Bluetooth, hold the source button down until the LED light starts to flash and then locate the speaker's name in your phone's Bluetooth list.
A:AnswerHello, thank you for the question. The Kilburn II should be able to be used if the batteries are for some reason not carrying a charge; the speaker will need to be plugged in to a power source but it should work just the same. If you are having an issue with your speaker, please reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
A:AnswerThe Marshall Kilburn I and Kilburn II both support volume adjustment through your connected device, such as an Android phone. You can control the volume directly from your Android device, and the changes will be reflected in the Kilburn II's audio output. Ensure that your Kilburn II is properly paired with your Android device via Bluetooth, and you should be able to adjust the volume using the device's volume controls. If you experience difficulties, make sure your Kilburn II firmware is up to date and that there are no connectivity issues between your Android device and the speaker.
A:AnswerOther users have reported issues being able to connect the Kilburn II with the Audio Technica Bluetooth Turntable, it may be best to head into a store and talk with a store representative about this setup.
A:AnswerI have utilized the 3.5 aux input port on this unit with multiple devices and can confirm the audio quality remains the same throughout.
I would assume with the correct cable to account for your receivers output this should work fine.
A:AnswerHi Jack, The Kilburn II doesn't have access to any firmware updates, it doesn't require any. If you are having an issue with your speaker, reach out to the Marshall Support Team via the official online shop, marshall.com.
A:AnswerHello, thank you for your question. The speaker can be used outdoors, or on a beach. We recommend using a microfibre cloth to clean the speaker; no additional cleaning products are needed on the speaker.
A:AnswerNo, the Marshall Kilburn II does not have a dedicated headphone jack. The Kilburn II is primarily designed as a portable Bluetooth speaker, emphasizing wireless connectivity for a seamless audio experience. If you're looking for a Marshall speaker with a headphone jack, you may want to explore other models within the Marshall lineup or consider using a Bluetooth transmitter to connect your headphones wirelessly to the Kilburn II.
