Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

2years13Maker product pagemarshall.com/us/en/policies/warrantyRead 14 October 2026US market.

The maker's support page says one year for all products and an exclusive two years for purchases on marshall.com. The two pages differ for dealer purchases, so two years applies to marshall.com purchases only. Statutory rights are excluded.14Maker product pagemarshall.com/us/en/support/warrantyRead 14 October 2026Support page: all products carry a 1-year warranty, and speakers bought online at marshall.com carry an exclusive 2-year warranty.
