Marten Oscar Trio floor standing speaker

Oscar Trio, launch model for our new series, is a defining moment – the same Marten sound in a new build. Our chief designer Leif Olofsson crafted new technology to achieve the same performance that we’ve built our name on. Innovation drove the creation of the Oscar series; understanding challenge, taking risks and rethinking design are the ashes from which Oscar was born.

WHAT YOU GET

Control in the driver’s seat.

Oscar Trio meets the demand for a reasonably-priced Marten speaker, without sacrifice to our renowned sound and quality. To achieve this we 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.

FEATURE

Leif Olofsson introduces Oscar Trio

With custom drivers and low distortion, Oscar Trio offers a big dynamic range, longer excursion and deep bass performance.

CERAMIC DOMES

Advanced technology for natural sound.

To keep the same Marten sound we 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.

Our 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 compliment 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.

We use 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 our precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten speaker demands.

FEET

Levels of isolation

Pucks and cones

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.

Our pucks and cones offer great isolation and outstanding performance from our speakers.

Marten Isolators

With IsoAcoustics we 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

Resists lateral movement and oscillations

Reduces internal reflections

Suitable for carpet

Available as an upgrade.

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.
