Marten Mingus Quintet 2 – Precision Meets Musicality

The Mingus Quintet 2 from Marten is a high-performance speaker designed for audiophiles who demand both precision and musicality. It builds on the success of the original Mingus Quintet, incorporating advanced technologies to offer an expansive soundstage with impressive clarity, depth, and control. As a 3-way bass reflex speaker, it features five drivers, including a pure diamond tweeter, pure ceramic midrange driver, and aluminum sandwich bass drivers, ensuring that the sound remains full, detailed, and lifelike, from deep bass to sparkling highs. The combination of these high-end materials and technology results in a powerful yet refined listening experience, perfect for discerning music lovers.

High-End Driver Technology

The 1-inch pure diamond tweeter is crafted to deliver brilliant high-frequency clarity. Diamond’s unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio allows for distortion-free sound in the upper registers, while the 5.25-inch ceramic midrange driver offers natural, accurate midrange reproduction. The aluminum sandwich bass drivers provide deep, rich bass with low distortion, enhancing the overall dynamic range of the speaker. These drivers work in harmony to create a seamless and coherent sound experience, ensuring that all frequencies are well-represented.

Resonance Control and Advanced Cabinet Design

The cabinet of the Mingus Quintet 2 is designed not just for aesthetics, but for optimal sound performance. The solid wood tops and bottoms reduce resonance, while the tapered cabinet shape minimizes internal reflections that can lead to sound distortion. Inside, the cabinet is dampened with advanced materials, which further reduces unwanted resonances. In collaboration with IsoAcoustics, Marten developed Marten Isolators, which decouple the speaker from the floor, reducing external vibrations and enhancing clarity. This meticulous attention to resonance control ensures that the sound remains pure and uncolored​.

First-Order Crossover and Internal Components

Marten’s first-order crossover is integral to the speaker’s time and phase coherence, ensuring all drivers are perfectly synchronized. This results in cleaner transitions between frequencies, allowing for a cohesive and immersive sound experience. The crossover uses copper foil air-core coils, silver/copper foil capacitors, and Jorma internal wiring, all chosen to maintain signal purity and enhance overall performance​.

Upgrade to the Statement Edition

For those seeking even higher levels of audio fidelity, the Mingus Quintet 2 is available in a Statement Edition, featuring Jorma Statement internal cables and higher-grade crossover components. These upgrades result in improved signal integrity and further refine the sound, offering an even clearer, more transparent listening experience. The Statement Edition enhances what is already an exceptional speaker, delivering a level of performance that appeals to the most dedicated audiophiles.

Conclusion: A Speaker for Discerning Audiophiles

The Marten Mingus Quintet 2 is a speaker that combines technical excellence with musical expressiveness. From its state-of-the-art diamond tweeter and ceramic midrange to its advanced crossover and isolators, every element of this speaker is designed to deliver a performance that is both precise and emotionally engaging. With the option to upgrade to the Statement Edition, the Mingus Quintet 2 offers a truly personalized, high-end audio experience for listeners who expect nothing less than perfection.
