Published nominal diameter 2 inches converts exactly to 50.8 mm. No continuous per-driver watts are established. Maker/PR amplifier figure two 38 W and 10 W driver labels have no continuous/RMS operating basis, so all rated/peak audio power fields remain unknown.

Bluetooth version
5.31Maker product pagemarshall.com/us/en/product/emberton-iiiRead 8 October 2026Maker explicitly publishes Bluetooth 5.3 LE. LE Audio-ready and future Auracast wording do not prove current activation. Current exact-model 9.2.6 firmware notes were checked and only identify security/Fast Pair changes, so LE Audio/Auracast activation and speaker-link limits remain unknown.
Bluetooth codecs

Only confirmed SBC is stored. Codec inventory is incomplete: AAC is disputed by those two reviews, so AAC is neither stored as supported nor labelled unsupported. aptX/LDAC are not inferred from Bluetooth version.7Reviewlesnumeriques.com/enceintes-portables/marshall-emberton-iii-p75413/test.htmlRead 8 October 2026Public characteristics table lists SBC and AAC. SBC agrees with current exact Crutchfield table. AAC conflicts with that retailer No cell and is omitted pending direct maker evidence.
