Marten was founded by Leif Mårten Olofsson in Sweden in 1998.

From the first speaker Mingus, the product range has grown in to Five series, a recording studio and a record label. The company was born out of passion and has grown steadily, gaining success and respect ever since.

Marten is still a family business today, run by Leif and his brothers, Jörgen and Lars Olofsson.

Mingus Quintet 2
starting at $114,720

The econd generation Mingus Quintet 2 has strong foundations of proven design to build on. Using the CELL technology drivers that the Mingus series relies on, it’s full-range, with deep bass and wide dynamics.

Mingus Quintet 2 has five drivers with immaculate control and power, including a pure diamond tweeter, pure ceramic mid-range and aluminium sandwich bass domes.  We’ve also geared the first order crossover for a more open, clean and dynamic sound.

Resonance control is greatly improved with an advanced damping mat and solid wood tops and bottoms for a more neutral cabinet. Marten Isolators further reduce resonance by separating the cabinet from the supporting surface.

Mingus Orchestra
starting at $381,920

The crown jewel of the Mingus series offers the strength and clarity that only Diamond drivers can. We forged our current design and technology in a beautifully formed Mingus cabinet. Employing technology and design cues from Coltrane and Heritage, it bridges the gap between both.

Mingus Orchestra employs a 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.

With two Diamond drivers, the sound is so clean and true that you can hear every nuance and motion of your music.
