| Marshall Unveils Emberton III Year of the Horse Limited-Edition |
Design Inspiration: Unbridled Creativity
The collection is inspired by the Chinese idiom “脱缰野马”—translating to a wild horse breaking free from its reins. FCCK describes his design philosophy as "rational chaos," blending diverse textures like wood carving, clay, and graffiti to represent spontaneous energy and creative freedom.
The result is a dynamic visual aesthetic applied to two of Marshall’s most popular units: the Emberton III speaker and the Studio 900 Combo amplifier.
Key Tech Highlight: The Hydra Print
For the first time, Marshall is utilizing a water transfer print (or "hydra print") on the Emberton III's silicone sleeve. Because the design is hand-applied as it floats on water, the pattern stretches and shifts during the dipping process. This ensures that every single unit is a one-of-a-kind piece.
