Warming up the Marten studio

From day one, our approach to designing loudspeakers has been driven by one main defining factor – the music.

This week we are in the studio again, in preparation for a new studio album. We’ve been doing test recordings using real musicians and nearfield microphones. This is not ground-breaking in itself, but the fact that we use our own studio is. In this we are unique.

Having our own studio means our recording sessions are precise. We can control exactly how we want live music to sound and test our models in the same environment the music was recorded in. It’s the perfect feedback loop.

We use the studio to test all our products, from the top-of-the-range Coltrane Supreme 2 to the crowd-pleasing Oscar Duo.

December is tradtionally the month of presents and great cheer. This year we have been given a great gift, from quarterly magazine Stereo Sound. The most respected audiophile magazine in Japan has bestowed Parker Duo Diamond edition with the coveted Grand Prix 2020.

Three years ago, we won the Stereo Sound Grand Prix 2017 with Mingus Quintet, so we are  honoured to receive this accolade again.

All the models in our Parker series are upgradable to Diamond Edition, featuring a Diamond tweeter, more advanced crossover components and improved terminals.
