Description

Gear shift into the fast lane

Parker Quintet is the flagship 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 Quintet 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.

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 Quintet, has the ability to command a large living space.

Distortion free; pure and powerful

The cabinet features sleek, tapering sides created from M-board, a multi-layered material offering extreme resonance reduction. Parker Quintet 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 Quintet a super-refined Marten speaker.

Diamond Edition

Parker Quintet can be upgraded to Diamond Edition, featuring a pure Diamond tweeter, Jorma Statement internal cables, more advanced crossover components and improved terminals. All Parker models can be elevated to the ultimate in premium loudspeakers.

Full. Controlled. Dynamic

Designed for the system, four 7.5” bass/midrange ceramic drivers offer a large surface area resulting in an open, precise soundstage and great dynamics, while four passive radiators give better control of the lower frequencies. 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 is important to the design of our speakers – it can mean the difference between a good speaker and a great speaker. 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.
  • Optimised for cabinet weight.
  • Resists lateral movement and oscillations.
  • Reduces internal reflections.
  • Suitable for carpet.

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.
