Frontier Silicon, a leading supplier of consumer audio
technologies, announces that its Minuet platform has been chosen by
audio pioneer, Zound Industries International AB (“Zound
Industries”), to add multi-room functionality, Chromecast built-in,
Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay to three speakers in its range of
Marshall branded wireless multi-room speakers.
The three speakers are the Marshall Acton, Marshall Stanmore and
Marshall Woburn models, which now come with new design and
multi-room technology features.
The Marshall Stanmore Multi-Room and Marshall Woburn Multi-Room
offer consumers six ways to connect: Chromecast built-in, Spotify
Connect, AirPlay, Bluetooth, RCA input and a 3.5 mm input, whilst
the Marshall Acton Multi-Room offers five ways: Chromecast built-
in, Spotify Connect, AirPlay, Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm input. As a
result, consumers will be able to stream audio via Wi-Fi from over
150 online music services, such as Spotify, Pandora and
iHeartRadio.
Zound industries’ Marshall branded Wireless Multi-Room system
allows users to play different songs in each room, or bring it all
together and play the same song throughout the entire home; there
is also the possibility to create a different soundtrack for each
individual space.
Each of the speakers has seven one-touch pre-sets, which allow
users to select and store favourite playlists, albums, or radio
stations.
All of the above can be controlled through the “Marshall”
branded app (for iOS and Android), which Frontier Silicon developed
on behalf of Zound Industries. The app also allows users to control
the Marshall branded Wireless Multi-Room speakers’ EQ settings and
alter the intensity of their LED control dials.
The Marshall branded Wireless Multi-Room system has been
available for purchase globally since 21 September. The Marshall
Acton Multi-Room is priced at $350, the Marshall Stanmore
Multi-Room at $450, and the Marshall Woburn Multi-Room at $600.
Frontier Silicon is one of a very small number of solution
providers working with Google on this technology. Frontier’s Minuet
design platform provides a complete toolkit for brands and
manufacturers to develop smart audio devices with Chromecast
built-in quickly and cost-effectively.
Anthony Sethill, CEO, Frontier Silicon, said:
“Marshall is a major global audio brand – and we are delighted
that our collaboration with Zound Industries has helped bring
Chromecast built-in, Spotify, Apple AirPlay and advanced multi-room
features to this premium range of speakers.”
Pernilla Ekman, CEO, Zound Industries International,
said:
It was important for us to ensure that the Marshall branded
Wireless Multi-Room system provides an unparalleled listening
experience with multiple ways to connect and listen to music.
Frontier has been a dedicated partner, with its highly skilled
software team and its mobile app development skills, in delivering
this goal. ”
