Marten partners with IsoAcoustics for higher-fidelity

Swedish high-end loudspeaker company Marten has upgraded its flagship series of floor-standing speakers to include bespoke Isolators, in partnership with IsoAcoustics.

Acoustics’ acoustic isolation technology was first introduced by Marten on its Parker series speakers when they launched in June 2020. Now the Coltrane 3 and Coltrane Tenor 2 are the latest models to receive the Marten Isolator upgrade. Marten Isolators are now standard for the Coltrane series, Mingus Orchestra, and the Parker series but are also available as upgrades across the Marten range (with the exception of Duke 2).

By managing the boundary condition between the speaker and the supporting surface, Marten Isolators reduce the transfer of energy to the floor and prevent reflections from being conducted back into the enclosure, leading to improved definition.

Marten Isolators are designed to provide a stable foundation for Marten speakers, allowing the speakers to deliver remarkable three-dimensional stereo imaging and clarity regardless of the floor construction.

Dave Morrison, Founder of IsoAcoustics, said: "I was very pleased to work with Leif Olofsson and the team at Marten to develop the Marten Isolators, and I'm very excited about the results we were able to achieve. The customer feedback and reviews for the new Parker Series have been remarkable. We are now excited for everyone to experience the difference the Marten Isolators make with the Coltrane Series. Incredible speakers, incredible products, and an amazing team. We feel privileged to be part of this project."

Leif Olofsson, Chief Designer of Marten, is equally enthusiastic. "I loved working with the guys at IsoAcoustics. When you are designing, I think it's good to change gears sometimes. Working with others changes the pace. Plus, they have such good products and knowledge in the field. We first developed Marten Isolators for the Coltrane and Mingus series, and I was so pleased with the results that I knew we had to use them for the next series. The Parker series has done incredibly well, both critically and with the public. The work we did with IsoAcoustics certainly contributed to its success."
