Overview

Marten Parker Duo Loudspeakers

The Marten Parker Duo brings the technology and performance of the Parker series into a compact two-way stand-mounted loudspeaker.

Using a 1-inch pure ceramic tweeter, custom 7.5-inch ceramic bass/midrange driver, rear 9-inch aluminum passive radiator, Jorma internal wiring, and Marten's 35mm M-board cabinet, the Parker Duo delivers exceptional clarity, dynamics, and bass performance from a surprisingly compact enclosure.

With bass extension reaching 36 Hz, the Parker Duo is capable of producing a much larger and more authoritative presentation than its size suggests.

Custom Ceramic Drivers

The Parker Duo features a 1-inch pure ceramic tweeter paired with a custom-designed 7.5-inch ceramic bass/midrange driver.

The bass/midrange driver uses long linear excursion and a powerful neodymium magnet system, providing excellent speed, control, and dynamic capability.

A rear-mounted 9-inch aluminum passive radiator extends and controls the lowest frequencies, allowing the Parker Duo to deliver impressive bass performance without requiring a large floorstanding enclosure.

Multi-Diverse Crossover

Marten's multi-diverse crossover was developed through extensive listening, simulation, calculation, and measurement.

The standard Parker Duo uses polypropylene capacitors and copper-foil inductors, precisely tuned to integrate the ceramic tweeter and bass/midrange driver.

Internal wiring is supplied by Jorma, handmade in Sweden and selected for its natural, transparent performance.

35mm M-Board Cabinet

The Parker Duo cabinet is constructed from 35mm M-board, Marten's multi-layer material engineered for extreme resonance reduction.

Its tapered design and rigid construction minimize the cabinet's contribution to the sound, helping the loudspeaker disappear into an open and precise soundstage.

Optional Marten Stand

Marten offers a dedicated optional stand engineered specifically for the Parker Duo.

The stand uses three extremely rigid pillars mounted to a weighted steel base and incorporates Marten Isolators developed with IsoAcoustics for mechanical isolation from the floor.
