Parker Trio: Elevating Performance with Refined Design

The Parker Trio stands as a prominent floor-standing loudspeaker within the Parker series, designed to bridge the gap between high-end performance and sophisticated design. Positioned in the middle of Marten’s product range, the Parker Trio offers a significant leap in audio quality, delivering detailed sound with a dynamic range that is both powerful and engaging.

Cabinets: Precision in Design

The Parker Trio’s cabinet is constructed from M-board, a multi-layered material selected for its exceptional ability to reduce resonance. This innovative design ensures that the cabinet does not interfere with the sound, allowing the speaker to deliver pure and powerful audio. The sleek, tapering sides of the cabinet not only enhance its visual appeal but also contribute to its superior acoustic performance, seamlessly integrating into any listening environment.

Ceramic Drivers: Engineered for Clarity and Control

The Parker Trio features custom-designed ceramic drivers, including two 7.5-inch bass/midrange units and a 1-inch ceramic or diamond tweeter. These drivers are specifically engineered to provide precise control and clarity, with ceramic materials offering the perfect balance of rigidity and lightness. The passive radiators complement these drivers by enhancing the bass response, delivering deep, controlled, and dynamic lows that enrich the overall soundstage.

Upgrade Option: Diamond Edition for Enhanced Performance

The Parker Trio offers an upgrade path to the Diamond Edition, which includes a diamond tweeter, advanced crossover components, improved terminals, and Jorma Statement internal cables. This upgrade further refines the Parker Trio’s performance, providing even greater clarity and precision, making it an attractive option for audiophiles seeking the highest level of sound quality.

Advanced Crossover: Seamless Integration for Detailed Sound

The Parker Trio’s crossover has been developed through extensive testing and fine-tuning, using high-quality components to ensure seamless integration across all frequencies. This advanced design enables the speaker to deliver a balanced and detailed sound, faithfully reproducing every nuance of the music with clarity and dynamics.

Internal Wiring: High-Quality Components for Transparent Sound

Marten uses Jorma Design internal wiring in the Parker Trio, chosen for its exceptional quality and ability to maintain signal purity. These handmade cables, crafted in Sweden, offer enhanced shielding and use high-quality copper, contributing to the Parker Trio’s natural and lifelike sound.

 

Feet: Isolation for Optimal Performance

The Parker Trio features Marten Isolators, developed in collaboration with IsoAcoustics, to isolate the cabinet from the floor. These precision-engineered feet reduce resonance and distortion, allowing the speaker to deliver dynamic bass with increased power and control. This isolation also enhances the overall clarity and openness of the soundstage.

Versatile Performance in Any Space

The Parker Trio is designed to perform exceptionally well in a variety of spaces, from smaller rooms to larger living areas. Thanks to its high-quality drivers, expertly designed cabinet, and advanced crossover, the Parker Trio offers powerful performance in any environment, making it a versatile choice for audiophiles who appreciate both form and function.
