Marten Mingus Orchestra—
Beauty and the best.
Mingus Orchestra employs Marten’s market-leading first order crossover. Combined with Cell drivers from Accuton, this creates flawless time coincidence, as well as perfect time and phase coherence. The result is record-low distortion, delivering the most natural and dynamic sound.
- 4-way bass reflex
- First order crossover
- Cell drivers
- 51mm and 20mm Diamond drivers
With two Diamond drivers, the sound is so clean and true that you can hear every nuance and motion of your music.
—Jörgen Olofsson | CEO, Marten
DIAMOND DOMES
Sound that sparkles.
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.
The sonic character of the diamond tweeter is not what you might expect. Marten’s crossover has been carefully designed to bring out the pure and clear sound of this precious stone, softening any harshness. The Diamonds simply disappear, leaving only your music.
Diamond is also the best heat conductor known to exist, which is essential for loudspeaker membranes, providing the best heatsink for the voice coil – resulting in high power handling and very low compression.
CERAMIC DOMES
Advanced technology for natural sound.
Hard ceramic is light, yet extremely rigid, making it one of the best materials for speaker membranes.
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
Low frequencies. Low distortion.
The Cell bass driver units have long excursion, extremely low distortion levels and a hidden surround. Made of Aluminum sandwich honeycomb, the drivers offer rich, dynamic bass performance with a powerful presentation.
CABINETS
Crafted for strength.
Mingus Orchestra’s dramatic cabinet is finished in Piano Black, with solid wood tops and bottoms handmade by local craftsmen in Sweden.
The shape and dimensions of the cabinet have been carefully considered to deal with reflections from the drivers: giving low resonance and diffraction control. The internal structure and bracing keep the cabinet rigid and resonance-free.
Marten uses specially selected, medium-density fiberboard with optimum rigidity to create high-quality, resonance-free cabinets.
Each cabinet is finished with precision veneer and lacquering. The lacquer is carefully built up of 7 layers, each hand-polished in between drying.
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
A new level of isolation.
The reduction of resonance is important to the design of Marten 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.
- Dynamic bass with increased power and control
- Natural openness and clarity
- Optimized for cabinet weight
- Resists lateral movement and oscillations
- Reduces internal reflections
- Suitable for carpet
CROSSOVER
Marten never follows the path of least resistance.
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.
