Mascom International stocks the Marshall Middleton II at KSh 39,000, brand new and sealed. Marshall's second-generation Middleton drives two 7.6cm woofers with 60W of Class D amplification and a pair of 15mm tweeters with another 20W. Battery life passes 30 hours, up from just over 20 on the original Middleton, and the IP67 rating covers dust and water. LE Audio support and a built-in microphone arrive alongside those gains. Marshall also says the redesign deepens the bass and keeps the sound controlled at high volume. Visit the Marshall Middleton II at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Designed for content creators, estate agents, field engineers and weekend travellers, the Marshall Middleton II handles speakerphone calls as well as music. Its True Stereophonic sound spreads in every direction, so a team in a Westlands meeting room hears the same level wherever they sit. Put it on a veranda, or carry it to the beach at Diani, and the IP67 body shrugs off sand and spray. When your phone battery drops on a long trip, the speaker doubles as a power bank and gives it a top-up. A creator filming a vlog can play a backing track on it, then switch to a client call without changing devices.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell speakers from a sealed display and leave you guessing, Mascom International lets you hold the Marshall Middleton II and hear it before you pay. Buyers throughout Kenya report that one speaker with a microphone, a dust-tight body and a long battery saves them from owning two devices. Walk into our shop, message us on WhatsApp, or order the Marshall Middleton II with pay-on-arrival delivery and a 12-month warranty included in the price.
Common Questions About the Marshall Middleton II
What is the Marshall Middleton II price in Kenya?
The Marshall Middleton II costs KSh 39,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. The price covers the speaker, a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Compatible chargers are sold separately at our shop. Among the Marshall speakers we stock, it sits KSh 2,000 below the Marshall Kilburn III and KSh 18,500 above the Marshall Emberton III. You can also pay and collect it from our Kimathi Street shop in person, where we will pair it with your phone so you hear it first.
Can the Marshall Middleton II handle rain, dust and the Kenyan coast?
Yes. The Marshall Middleton II carries an IP67 rating, which means it is sealed against dust and survives immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. That covers a rainy afternoon, a dusty building site and a beach day in Diani. Rinse off salt or sand with fresh water afterwards and let the speaker dry before charging. IP67 does not cover deep-water use, so keep it away from boats and diving. Wipe the speaker dry and store it away from direct heat.
How long does the Marshall Middleton II battery last, and can it charge my phone?
Marshall quotes more than 30 hours of playtime, up from just over 20 on the original Middleton. At seven hours a day, that is about four days between charges. Around 20 minutes on a charger gives enough power to keep playing, a useful rescue during KPLC outages. The speaker also works as a power bank, so it can top up a phone when your own battery runs low. Heavy volume shortens the hours, so turn the speaker off between sessions to stretch the battery.
Is the Marshall Middleton II better than the Marshall Acton III?
They serve different homes. The Marshall Acton III costs KSh 36,500 and is a home speaker that stays near a wall socket. The Marshall Middleton II costs KSh 2,500 more, plays over 30 hours on its battery and survives dust and water thanks to IP67. Choose the Acton III for a fixed lounge or bedroom setup. Choose the Middleton II if the speaker will move between rooms, a veranda, a car boot and the beach. Both carry a 12-month warranty from Mascom International.
Can I take phone calls on the Marshall Middleton II?
Yes. A built-in microphone turns the Marshall Middleton II into a speakerphone, and you answer calls from its control knob. Use it for WhatsApp calls, Google Meet or ordinary calls on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom. Everyone around the speaker hears the other person, so it suits a small meeting room better than a crowded open-plan office. Place the speaker in the middle of the table for the clearest pickup of voices. For private calls, keep using your phone or earbuds.
What does LE Audio mean on the Marshall Middleton II?
LE Audio is a newer Bluetooth audio standard built around the efficient LC3 codec. Marshall lists it for the Middleton II, so the speaker is ready for phones that support it. Phones without LE Audio still connect through standard Bluetooth, and that works on Android phones and iPhones alike. Your phone's settings show whether it supports the feature, and newer Android phones are the most likely to. Our staff will check your phone model in the shop if you want a quick answer.
Who should buy the Marshall Middleton II, and who should skip it?
The Marshall Middleton II suits travellers, creators, estate agents showing houses and anyone who wants one speaker for music, calls and the outdoors. Skip it if your budget is near KSh 20,000; the Marshall Emberton III at KSh 20,500 offers IP67 and a microphone in a smaller body. Skip it as well if you want a bigger battery for all-night events, because the Marshall Kilburn III runs about 50 hours, though with a lower IP54 rating. Both alternatives are in stock at our shop for side-by-side listening.
What controls does the Marshall Middleton II have on top?
A multidirectional knob handles play, pause, track skipping, volume and call answering: twist for volume, press to play or pause. Dedicated bass and treble buttons let you shape the sound without opening an app, and a battery indicator shows how much charge is left. The Marshall app adds more tone adjustments from your phone. A friend across the room can then change the music without borrowing your handset.
