Marten Mingus Orchestra Floorstanding Loudspeaker

Marten 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.

Pure Diamond is the ultimate material for speaker membranes. Used in the high-frequency range, its stiffness-to-weight ratio and internal sound velocity are unsurpassed. Diamond is also the best heat conductor known to man. This is essential for loudspeaker membranes, providing the best heatsink for the voice coil; resulting in high power handling and very low compression.

The sonic character of Marten Diamond tweeters is not what you might expect. Others can sound ‘overly brilliant’ or ‘hard-as-diamond’. Harmonic distortion can be a problem too. Marten’s crossover has been carefully designed to deal with this. In fact, you get the opposite – the Diamonds simply disappear, leaving only your music.

Hard ceramic is light, yet extremely rigid, making it one of the best materials for speaker membranes – it’s also known as Sapphire. The Marten 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.
