Question 4

Should I leave the Marshall Woburn III speaker on while charging?

Accepted Answer

No, the Marshall Woburn III does not have a battery. It is a wired speaker that must be permanently connected to a power outlet to function. Therefore, there is no concept of 'charging' for this model - the speaker is powered directly by the alternating current via the supplied power cable.

To use your Marshall Woburn III, simply:

Connect the power cable to the dedicated input at the back or side of the speaker
Plug the power plug into a wall outlet compatible with your region's voltage
Use the power switch to turn the speaker on or off as needed

Important: Always ensure that the power cord, plug, and speaker are compatible with your power supply and wall outlet. Before disconnecting the cable from the speaker, always unplug the plug from the wall outlet.

The speaker consumes power only when it is turned on. Therefore, it is recommended to turn it off using the power switch when not in use, but the power cable can remain plugged in permanently without risk.
