"Marshall's Heddon is a Wi-Fi music hub, a small square box that sits by your router and quietly becomes the brain for Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III speakers. It connects to your network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, pulls in music using Spotify Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, or Tidal Connect, then rebroadcasts it to your speakers using Auracast so they all play in sync across rooms."
"Starting a playlist on your phone, you send it to Heddon instead of a single speaker and let it handle the rest. You move from the kitchen to the living room, and the same track is coming out of different Marshalls without re-pairing. Friends can cast from their own apps, but the hub keeps the stream going even when phones leave or run out of battery, which is how whole-home audio is supposed to work."
"Heddon has RCA line-in, so you can plug in a turntable or older CD player and stream that signal wirelessly to your Marshall speakers around the house. The only requirement is a phono preamp somewhere in the chain. A record spinning in one corner can be heard in the kitchen and bedroom without running cables or buying a new Wi-Fi-enabled turntable, turning analog playback into something that feels modern."
Heddon is a compact Wi‑Fi music hub that centralizes audio for Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III speakers. It connects via Wi‑Fi or Ethernet and accepts streams from Spotify Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, and Tidal Connect, then rebroadcasts audio to speakers using Auracast for synchronized multiroom playback. Users send playback to Heddon and move between rooms without re-pairing; guests can cast from their apps while the hub maintains the stream when phones disconnect or run out of battery. Heddon includes an RCA line-in for turntables and older players (a phono preamp is required). The Marshall app discovers the hub, manages rooms and groups, and the hardware's simplicity means experience depends on app maintenance and commitment to the Marshall ecosystem.
