Marten Parker Duo Bookshelf Speaker

Marten Parker Duo Bookshelf Speaker

Parker Duo is the stand speaker of the Parker series. The series sits squarely in the middle of our product range - a position which has long been held by the Heritage series. Parker elevates the loudspeakers in this class to a whole new level.

With custom designed technology and perfectly balanced build techniques, Parker Duo 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-way stand speaker
• Brand new custom designed drivers
• Multi-diverse crossover technique
• High sensitivity: 88 dB
• Marten custom stand (optional)

Cabinets

The cabinet features sleek, tapering sides created from M-board, a multi-layered material offering extreme resonance reduction. Parker Duo is so resonance-free, it completely disappears within the soundstage. The newly designed cabinet balances visual appeal with low-impact on sound.

Ceramic Drivers

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 Duo a super-refined Marten speaker.

Diamond Edition Upgrade

Parker Duo 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.

Bass and Mid-Range

Designed for the system, the 7.5” bass/midrange ceramic driver offers a large surface area resulting in an open, precise soundstage and great dynamics, while the passive radiator gives better control of the lower frequencies. A speaker of this class demands the ultimate in bass response.

Crossover

A multi-diverse crossover technique was developed through hours of listening and testing, plus rigorous simulation, calculation and measurement. Marten have really put the work in with this crossover, using the best components and precisely tuning it to work with the system.

Internal Wiring

Parker Duo uses 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 speakers.

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

Stand

The optional stand is Marten designed so it works in concert with Parker Duo. Three extremely rigid pillars are mounted on a steel base plate which is weighted for stability.

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 created Marten Isolators. This precision product allows the cabinet to be completely isolated from the floor, reducing resonance and distortion – leaving the soundstage free.
