The new Marten Parker speakers began as an update to their Heritage series, but the upgrades in technology and build were so radical, they created a new series instead.
The Marten Parker Series
The Parker Trio 2.5-way floorstander is the ideal loudspeaker for your living space. Parker Trio is powerful and elegant; it’s resonance-free cabinet allows it to blend in with your surroundings, leaving controlled and crystal clear sound.
The Parker series comprises of three models, the Parker Trio for modest size rooms or the Parker Quintet for the grandest of rooms each model has the same quality of driver units, cabinet and crossover, even the smallest model the Parker Duo has the ability to command a large living space all with precise soundstage, great dynamics and controlled bass response.
With custom designed technology and perfectly balanced build techniques, Parker Trio is new in every way, but remains faithful to the Marten way of recreating sound as it is in life. With extreme resonance reduction, the cabinet is truly free of the soundstage, letting music and emotion take centre stage.
- 2.5-way floor-standing
- Brand new custom designed drivers
- 2x bass/midrange drivers
- Multi-diverse crossover technique
- High sensitivity: 91 dB
The cabinet features sleek, tapering sides created from M-board, a multi-layered material offering extreme resonance reduction. Parker Trio is so resonance-free, it completely disappears within the soundstage. The newly designed cabinet balances visual appeal with low-impact on sound.
Ceramic drivers are custom designed by Leif Olofsson to meet the needs of a loudspeaker in this class. Each unit has a very long linear excursion and utilises the powerful Neodynium magnet system for control. Custom designed components allows a more holistic way of building a system, making Parker Trio a super-refined Marten speaker.
Designed for the system, two 7.5” bass/midrange ceramic drivers offer a large surface area resulting in a large, precise soundstage and great dynamics. While passive radiators give the control and dynamics needed for Parker Trio. A speaker of this class demands the ultimate in bass response.
A multi-diverse crossover technique was developed through hours of listening and testing, plus rigorous simulation, calculation and measurement. We’ve really put the work in with this crossover, using the best components and precisely tuning it to work with the system.
We use Jorma Design internal wiring, for its exemplary quality and performance. Handmade in Sweden, the cables use separate + and – for enhanced shielding and the highest quality Copper. This offers natural, transparent sound; the perfect choice for our speakers.
Cables are integral components, so they must work harmoniously with our precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten speaker demands.
The reduction of resonance has always been important to the design of our cabinets – the right isolation can mean the difference between a good speaker and a great speaker. So Marten worked with Iso Acoustics to design and make Marten Isolators. With this precision product, the speaker feels completely isolated from the floor, reducing resonance and distortion – leaving the soundstage free. It also makes for richer, more controlled and dynamic bass.
Parker Trio can be upgraded to Diamond edition, featuring a Diamond tweeter, more advanced crossover components, improved terminals and Jorma Statement internal cables. All models in the Parker series can be elevated to the ultimate in premium loudspeakers.
