CELEBRATE 60 YEARS OF LOUD WITH MARSHALL
By Shawn Chung - Singapore
TC Acoustic recently celebrated audio brand Marshall’s 60th anniversary on the 5th of October 2022 with a snazzy Loud with Marshall party and Marshall’s Diamond Jubilee Limited Edition, and we were there!
Marshall Amplification is a true rock legend that has been rocking venues and stages for over five decades with their speakers and amplifiers, and Marshall’s growth from a small shop in London in 1962 to global prominance is intertwined by the genesis of Heavy Metal and Prog Rock, with Pete Townshend (The Who) and and Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) the first customers of Marshall’s now iconic JTM45 electric guitar amplifiers.
Marshall’s Diamond Jubilee line features the Monitor II A.N.C. headphone, Motif A.N.C. earbuds and Emberton portable speakers in a limited edition black diamond finish, and will be available at 10 retailers in Asia, including TC Acoustic’s flagship and lifestyle boutiques.
