The Marshall Uxbridge Voice is a compact multi-room speaker with Alexa support

Music mogul Marshall is launching a new compact speaker with a built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant. Part virtual helper and part sonic powerhouse, the bite-sized Uxbridge Voice (£169.99) is capable of pumping out beats with more clout than its diminutive frame would suggest, and can be combined with other Amazon Echo or Airplay-2 enabled speakers to create a mind-melting multi-room setup. Additional support for Bluetooth and Spotify Connect means the Uxbridge can double as a straight-up wireless speaker if need be, while far-field voice recognition will help Alexa see to your every whim even when the tunes are turned right up. You’ll be able to find it on shelves on April 8.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
