Marten Coltrane Supreme 2 Floorstanding Speaker

Marten Coltrane Supreme 2 Floorstanding Speaker

Coltrane Supreme 2 is the prestige model for the Coltrane Series. Marten wanted to create the ultimate speaker for the home - perhaps the best in the world. Designed using their recording studio in Sweden as reference, the difference between reality and recorded sound is indistinguishable.

The Coltrane series drives many of the design and technology innovations at Marten; Supreme 2 is no exception. A first order crossover was developed for Supreme 2, creating absolute perfect time and phase coherence; and flawless time coincidence. 

With Cell technology, the three-part cabinet includes a separate mid-cabinet of Corian, Stainless Steel and Aluminium, making Supreme 2 extremely strong and stable.

Diamond Domes

Pure Diamond is the ultimate material for speaker membranes. Used in the high-frequency range, its stiffness-to-weight ratio and internal sound velocity are unsurpassed.

Diamond is also the best heat conductor known to man. This is essential for loudspeaker membranes, providing the best heatsink for the voice coil; resulting in high power handling and very low compression.

The sonic character of Marten's Diamond tweeters is not what you might expect. Others can sound ‘overly brilliant’ or ‘hard-as-diamond’. Harmonic distortion can be a problem too. Our crossover has been carefully designed to deal with this. In fact, you get the opposite – the Diamonds simply disappear, leaving only your music.

Ceramic Domes

Hard ceramic is light, yet extremely rigid, making it one of the best materials for speaker membranes – it’s also known as Sapphire.

Marten's ceramic domes have a high internal damping factor, because of a refined electrochemical process. The membrane also has a high material resonance frequency, meaning distortion is minimal; offering a level of clarity that is the holy grail for high end speaker domes.

Bass Drivers

The Cell bass driver units have long excursion, extremely low distortion levels and a hidden surround. Made of Aluminium sandwich honeycomb, the drivers offer rich, dynamic bass performance with a powerful presentation.

Cabinets

Years of research have shown that the best material for loudspeaker cabinets is Carbon Fibre laminate. Many materials were tested in R&D, but none offer such strength and rigidity. This makes the cabinet extremely inert and resonance-free across the whole frequency range. It also has a high internal damping factor despite its light weight.

Marten know that cabinet construction is just as important as the components you use inside, so Carbon Fibre is the ideal complement.

Internal Wiring

Jorma Design Statement internal wiring is used, for its exemplary quality and performance. Handmade in Sweden, the cables use separate + and – for enhanced shielding and the highest quality Copper.

Cables are integral components, so they must work harmoniously with our precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten Supreme speaker demands.

Feet

The reduction of resonance is important to the design of speakers – it can mean the difference between a good speaker and a great speaker. With IsoAcoustics, Marten Isolators were created. This precision product allows the cabinet to be completely isolated from the floor, reducing resonance and distortion – leaving the soundstage free.

• Dynamic bass with increased power and control
• Natural openness and clarity
• Optimised for cabinet weight
• Resists lateral movement and oscillations 
• Reduces internal reflections
• Suitable for carpet

Crossover

Marten worked tirelessly to refine the crossover so it would work perfectly with Accuton Cell drivers. It wasn’t an easy task, but it was the clear solution.

The first order crossover makes it possible to have perfect time and phase coherence; and flawless time coincidence. This means that all registers are generated at the exact same moment, as it was recorded. Just like live music.

• Copper foil air core coils
• Silver/Copper foil capacitors
• Silver foil capacitors
• Custom-made resistors
• Jorma internal cabling

Placing a Coltrane in your house is a commitment that really pays off. They require considered placement and set-up. Like the best things in life, you only get out what you put in. If you want to bring the live music experience to your home, there should be no compromise.
