a world-class 2-way stand speaker
With custom-designed technology and perfectly-balanced build techniques, Parker Duo is new in every way. But it also remains faithful to the Marten way of recreating sound as it is in real life. With extreme resonance reduction, the cabinet is truly free of the soundstage, letting music and emotion prevail.
- Brand new custom designed drivers
- Multi-diverse crossover technique
- High sensitivity: 88 dB

REVIEW
Pursuit Perfect System
Marten’s could praise their products all day, but they couldn’t do it any better than the reviewers. Terry Ellis of Pursuit Perfect System offers an exemplary review of the Marten Parker Duo.
“In a lot of ways, they are the best speakers I have reviewed to date full stop. That includes all the floor standing speakers too…”
CABINETS
Distortion free; pure and powerful.
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 little impact on sound.
CERAMIC DRIVERS
Smaller scale design for bigger results.
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.
UPGRADE
Diamond Edition
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 MIDRANGE
Full. Controlled. Dynamic.
Designed for the system, the 7.5” bass/midrange ceramic driver offers a large surface area resulting in a large, precise soundstage and great dynamics. While the passive radiator gives the control and dynamics needed for Parker Duo. A speaker of this class demands the ultimate in bass response.
CROSSOVER
A harder-working crossover.
A multi-diverse crossover technique was developed through hours of listening and testing, plus rigorous simulation, calculation and measurement. We’ve really put the work in with this crossover, using the best components and precisely tuning it to work with the system.
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 our speakers.
Cables are integral components, so they must work harmoniously with Marten’s precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten speaker demands.
STAND
Strong and stable.
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
A new level of isolation.
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.
To further reduce resonance, Marten worked with IsoAcoustics to design and make Marten Isolators. With this precision product, the speaker feels completely isolated from the floor, reducing resonance and distortion – leaving the soundstage free. It also makes for richer, more controlled and dynamic bass.
