Marshall Unveils Bromley 750: A Unique Party Speaker with Subtle LED Features
Marshall has launched its first party speaker, the Bromley 750, which offers a more understated lighting experience compared to traditional party speakers. This model features a grid of LEDs hidden behind its front speaker grill that react to the music played, providing a unique aesthetic. Available for preorder at $1,299, the Bromley 750 is set to ship in late September, reports 24brussels.
The speaker is equipped with front-firing speakers and a pair of tweeters, which enhance audio quality significantly. Additionally, it includes a sound character dial that toggles between settings tailored for large spaces and intimate gatherings. For an engaging visual experience, users can choose from three animated presets for the LED stage lighting, with two presets that react dynamically to the audio being played.
Marshall claims the Bromley 750 boasts a remarkable battery life exceeding 40 hours, extendable with optional backup batteries. The design features inputs for connecting microphones and instruments, as well as mobility options such as wheels and an extending handle, making transportation easier despite its weight of over 52 pounds. Furthermore, the Bluetooth speaker carries an IP54 rating, indicating resilience against spills and minor water exposure.
This product adds to a growing trend of innovative audio solutions aimed at enhancing social gatherings. The Bromley 750 not only focuses on sound quality but also on creating an immersive experience, positioning itself as a notable player in the market for party speakers.
Sint-Truiden – In Sint-Truiden, the Water Group completed the final connection of the Koekestraat water pipeline early on August 26, 2025, after APC resumed works, ensuring a reliable supply amid drought conditions, reports 24brussels.
As reported by VRT News, the Water Group is finalizing a significant water pipeline project near Koekestraat. The project involves the installation of a new pipeline. On August 26, 2025, workers completed the final connection ahead of schedule to prevent any interruptions in the water supply.
Reasons for the Early Completion of the Koekestraat Pipeline
Officials noted that increased water usage due to rising temperatures and reduced rainfall has put additional strain on the water supply. The early completion of the pipeline serves as a precautionary measure to avert a potential shortage.
De Watergroep is finalizing the last stage of a major water project at the intersection of Koekestraat and Naamsevest. This work involves the final connection in a network where new water pipes have been installed across the neighborhood.
The operation will continue throughout the day, requiring the temporary closure of the first section of Koekestraat to all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, for safety reasons. A large container has been placed in the work area.
Residents were informed in advance about the work to help them plan accordingly. De Watergroep emphasized that these measures are critical for completing the final connection safely and efficiently.
The water pipeline project in Sint-Truiden’s Koekestraat commenced in January 2025. APC, contracted by De Watergroep, began transferring household connections from the old water line to the new one on April 22, 2025. However, the mayor halted the work on the same day due to a lack of permits for the contractor and inadequate notice to residents. Following proper approvals and improved communication, the project resumed.
On August 21, 2025, a planned interruption of the water supply affected all addresses from 4 to 82 along Koekestraat as part of the final connection work. The project was completed on August 26, 2025, with the final connection made early to mitigate potential water supply challenges in the area.
