No separate current US spec sheet was found.","model_numbers":"Selected US Black bar-only product. Maker Product JSON-LD sku and public selected-product manufacturerSku both identify 1008949. Default/global Black 1007985 and Cream 1008950 are distinct regional/colour references and are not stored as this US Black model.","gtins":"Exact selected-product public data identifies this EAN for US Black 1008949. Independently corroborated by the exact authorized B&H listing. No regional default EAN substituted.","markets":"Exact sold reference is the US Black standalone bar. This does not assert every worldwide market or mains-lead configuration.","colors":"Maker family colour options. Stored model number and image are the selected US Black bar. Cream is a separate colour option, not the reference SKU.","status":"Exact US Black selected page offers Add to Bag and Product JSON-LD InStock on access date. No worldwide stock claim.","system_channel_configuration":"Exact standalone-bar maker configuration claim. Includes virtual surround reproduction and does not represent seven physical channels, six drivers, or a supplied separate subwoofer.","drivers":"Maker explicitly five 1.25-inch full-range drivers and two 3-inch woofers. Diameters converted at 25.4 mm per inch. No split orientation counts inferred from virtual 5.1 layout. Passive radiators are excluded from active-driver counts.","peak_output_power_w":"Maker explicitly 56 W Peak. Load, distortion, bandwidth and channel-drive conditions are unstated. Individual seven Class-D amplifier ratings 2x25 W and 5x5 W are not summed into a 75 W total. Continuous/RMS total remains not found. This is audio output, not electrical consumption.","frequency_response_min_hz":"Maker-published standalone bar 45 Hz to 20 kHz. Tolerance, signal, distance, mode and calibration conditions are unstated. Not a measured extension or an optional-subwoofer result.","dolby_atmos":"Explicit playback support. No exact Dolby Digital Plus/TrueHD transport rows, decoded-channel maxima, or wired sample/bit-depth limits are inferred merely from eARC. Exact reviews confirm Atmos playback, including HDMI and Tidal listening.","dts_x":"Explicit DTS:X support, independent of virtual height processing. Connection-specific DTS-HD/other DTS decoder limits remain not found.","audio_formats":"Explicitly named immersive formats. Maker broader codec list mixes Bluetooth codecs and music/file codecs, so that entire list is not imported as theater decoding or per-input support. B&H generic AAC/LPCM decoding does not state a precise transport, sample rate or channel maximum.","streaming_protocols":"Explicit exact network integrations. airable internet-radio catalogue is additionally accessible in Marshall app, but Bluetooth codecs and the radio catalogue are separate from these protocol names.","built_in_microphone":"Two physical microphones explicitly used for room calibration. This does not establish voice-assistant listening or a physical voice-microphone mute switch.","automatic_room_calibration":"Two built-in measurement microphones plus app room correction adapt playback to the room. Marshall app required. Calibration is run from the app, not a claim of continuous unattended recalibration.","dimensions_mm":"Maker individually names Width 730, Height 68 and Depth 124 mm, for normal tabletop orientation. Wall installation rotates the body and reversible controls/logo. No wall-mounted height/depth swap or mounting hardware included in this tuple.","weight_g":"Published standalone Physical Unit mass. Excludes optional Sub 200, wall hardware, cables and retail packaging. Not reviewer-measured weight.","in_the_box":"Current US standalone maker box contents. Separate Heston Sub 200, rear speakers, physical remote, AUX/RCA cables and optional streaming dongle are not included. Legal/wall guide says wall screws and anchors are not supplied because wall materials differ.","wall_mount_included":"Two supplied wall-mount grommets provide the soundbar mount, used by the exact wall guide. Wall screws/anchors are not included and must support the specified load. No optional proprietary bracket or screws-only mount assumption.","hdmi_cable_included":"Exact maker standalone box states HDMI cable. Cable length, category/bandwidth and Ultra High Speed certification are not published for the US retail reference.","optical_cable_included":"Complete reference box has an HDMI cable and mains lead, no optical cable. Bar has no optical connector in complete manual panel diagram.","ports":"Exact technical table explicitly states HDMI 2.1 eARC, HDCP 1.4 and wired HDMI/AUX/sub-out/USB-C connectors.

No dedicated HDMI video input or USB audio assumed."}},{"url":"https://assets.ctfassets.net/javen7msabdh/Cp2TbKWYz0Uv0NfMEIxQE/497298fe06fa70003352fd6807e38862/Marshall_Heston_60_OLM_250829_R1_0.pdf","kind":"manual","accessed":"2026-10-08","fields":["manual_url","subwoofer_included","compatible_subwoofers","ports","hdmi_arc","hdmi_earc","video_passthrough","bluetooth","voice_assistants","sound_modes","room_calibration_system","dialogue_enhancement","night_mode","power_consumption_standby_w","power_consumption_network_standby_w","power_supply"],"notes":{"manual_url":"Original multilingual full online manual read, with complete English pages 1-13. Filename revision 250829 R1_0. Other language blocks do not override exact English connector roles.","subwoofer_included":"Manual says external active subwoofer is not included. Maker standalone box has no separate subwoofer. Optional Heston Sub 200 is excluded from dimensions and measurements.","compatible_subwoofers":"Exact manual names optional wireless Marshall Heston Sub 200. RCA sub out can additionally feed an active third-party wired subwoofer, but no unproved named models are added.","ports":"Complete English back-panel diagram identifies all five physical connectors. USB-C is explicitly power output, not an audio input, file playback port or USB hub. HDMI version/HDCP additionally stated in exact maker technical table. One mono RCA sub output is not an analog RCA input. The English troubleshooting text mentioning RCA inputs conflicts with the actual connector diagram and AUX instructions and is not used.","video_passthrough":"Complete back panel has only the single TV eARC/ARC connection, with no dedicated HDMI source input or television video output path. HDMI 2.1 label does not establish FRL, 4K/120, HDR, VRR, ALLM or passthrough modes.","bluetooth":"Bluetooth audio input documented. Up to two connected devices and eight remembered devices are distinct connection/memory facts. Version and codec fields refer to soundbar audio, not calibration or an optional speaker.","voice_assistants":"External Apple AirPlay route only. Manual explicitly permits playback by asking Siri from an iPhone, iPad, HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV. No built-in voice assistant or always-listening voice microphone is claimed. Exact reviews saying no voice assistant refer to the soundbar itself.","dialogue_enhancement":"Voice mode explicitly improves dialogue clarity. Not an inferred voice assistant or automatic language model.","night_mode":"Night mode lowers loud passages while keeping softer details clear.","power_consumption_standby_w":"Published strictly less than 0.5 W low-power mode upper bound, not a measured or exact 0.5 W draw. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disabled. Configurable idle timeout at most 20 minutes. Enables/disables via 30-second Preset press. Bar only.","power_consumption_network_standby_w":"Published strictly less than 2.0 W network-standby upper bound, not an exact measured value. Normal radio/network availability maintained. Configurable idle timeout at most 20 minutes. Optional subwoofer consumption excluded.","power_supply":"Manual explicitly direct mains input and supplied mains lead. US reference includes its regional mains lead. Exact retail AC voltage/frequency rating and operating consumption not found in the read maker documents. Engineering prototype regulatory input rating is not promoted to a retail operating-power field."}},{"url":"https://group.marshall.com/2025/09/02/marshall-expands-its-tv-sound-range-meet-heston-60-and-heston-sub-200/","kind":"press_release","accessed":"2026-10-08","fields":["series","release_date"],"notes":{"release_date":"Detailed maker release dated September 2 states on sale from September 23, 2025.
