Parker Trio is a floor standing loudspeaker of the Parker series. New for 2020, the series sits squarely in the middle of our product range - a position which has long been held by our Heritage series. Parker elevates our loudspeakers in this class to a whole new level.
Same team. New players.
With custom designed technology and perfectly balanced build techniques, Parker Trio is new in every way, but remains faithful to the Marten way of recreating sound as it is in life. With extreme resonance reduction, the cabinet is truly free of the soundstage, letting music and emotion take centre stage.
2.5-way floor-standing
Brand new custom designed drivers
2x bass/midrange drivers
Multi-diverse crossover technique
High sensitivity: 91 dB
"Neutrally balanced with extended lows, an uncolored midrange, clean, transparent highs, and stable, accurate stereo imaging, Marten's Parker Trio Diamond Edition is one of the best-sounding full-range loudspeakers I have auditioned in my room."
John Atkinson | Stereophile
Distortion free; pure and powerful.
The cabinet features sleek, tapering sides created from M-board, a multi-layered material offering extreme resonance reduction. Parker Trio is so resonance-free, it completely disappears within the soundstage. The newly designed cabinet balances visual appeal with low-impact on sound.
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 Trio a super-refined Marten speaker.
Full. Controlled. Dynamic.
Designed for the system, two 7.5” bass/midrange ceramic drivers offer a large surface area resulting in a large, precise soundstage and great dynamics. While passive radiators give the control and dynamics needed for Parker Trio. A speaker of this class demands the ultimate in bass response.
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.
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.
A new level of isolation.
The reduction of resonance has always been important to the design of our cabinets – the right isolation can mean the difference between a good speaker and a great speaker.
We 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.
Diamond Edition
Parker Trio 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.
Powerful performance. Anywhere.
Parker works well at every scale - from the most modest, to the grandest of rooms. It’s a broad statement, but because each model has the same quality of driver units, cabinet and crossover, even the smallest model, Parker Duo, has the ability to command a large living space.
