The Marten Parker Trio is a premium 2.5-way floor-standing loudspeaker designed by Leif Mårten Olofsson and produced by Marten, a Swedish high-end audio manufacturer. It features two 7.5" ceramic bass/midrange drivers, one 1" ceramic tweeter (upgradable to a diamond tweeter in the Diamond Edition), and two 9" aluminum passive radiators mounted on the rear for enhanced bass control. The cabinet is constructed from 35 mm M-board, a multi-layered material engineered for extreme resonance reduction, allowing the speaker to disappear within the soundstage and deliver pure, distortion-free sound. The crossover uses a multi-diverse order design at 2200 Hz, and internal wiring is by Jorma Design. The speaker has a sensitivity of 91 dB/2.83 V, a nominal impedance of 6 ohms (minimum 3.1 ohms), and a power rating of 300 watts. It is available in Piano Walnut, Matte Walnut, and Piano Black finishes, with mirror-polished stainless steel stands and Marten Isolators for vibration control. Dimensions are approximately 22-28 cm wide, 117 cm high, and 36 cm deep (8.7-11" x 46" x 14.2"), weighing about 40 kg (89 lbs) each. The Parker Trio is positioned in Marten's lineup as a mid-to-high-end model, praised for its build quality, elegant design, and sonic performance, with an optional Diamond Edition upgrade offering a diamond tweeter, improved crossover components, terminals, and Jorma Statement internal cables for enhanced sound quality.
