Marten Oscar Trio
—
Oscar Trio meets the demand for a reasonably-priced Marten speaker, without sacrifice to Marten’s renowned sound and quality. To achieve this Marten re-designed the build and created a bespoke driver.
The build offers exceptionally controlled and natural sound; true musicality that is the mark of a Marten speaker.
- Custom designed drivers
- True Marten sound
- 2-way configuration
- Competitive price-point

CERAMIC DOMES
Advanced technology for natural sound.
To retain their signature sound, Marten designed brand new drivers, allowing more control of the details.
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.
CABINETS
Streamlined with precision.
The exterior is an exercise in minimalist design – no unnecessary details, no embellishment. Marten cabinet design is a balance of strength and elegance: the perfect complement to the sound.
The optional magnetic cover snaps on with a satisfying click, instantly streamlining the form without changing the sound.
INTERNAL WIRING
Premium cables for purer sound.
Marten 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 Marten’s speakers.
Cables are integral components, so they must work harmoniously with Oscar Trio’s precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten speaker demands.
FEET
Levels of isolation
Designed for Marten, the pucks and cones are made from high-tech engineering thermoplastic. This material has incredible stiffness, low friction, excellent dimensional stability and resonance control. A perfect balance of qualities needed for precision parts.
Marten’s pucks and cones offer great isolation and outstanding performance from their speakers.
CROSSOVER
Low order for high dynamics.
We prefer to use lower order crossovers, as the higher order crossovers tend to limit the dynamics and details. Our second order crossover has been creatively designed to make the best of the dynamic range.
