Marten Oscar-perheen Duo on kaiutin, joka on ääneltään tunnistettava, aito Marten.
Uudet, edistykselliset elementit, seuranaan tinkimätön jakosuodintoteutus, istutettuna akustisesti optimoituun, eleganttiin koteloon. Tuloksena kokonaisuus, jota on pakko pysähtyä kuuntelemaan. Avoin ikkuna musiikin sisään. Dynamiikka ja läpinäkyvä ilmavuus, joka heittää haasteen isommille laatukaiuttimille.
Keraamiset elementit, 7″ bassokeskiääninen ja 1″ diskantti. Tukeva kotelo 25mm:n seinäpaksuudella. WBT NextGen-huippulaadukkaat liittimet. Jorma Design-sisäinen johdotus. Alas, 37 hertsiin ulottuva, sävykäs, kontrolloitu bassotoisto.
Kolme upeata viimeistelyä – pianopintaiset musta ja valkoinen sekä mattapähkinä.
Lisävarusteena Oscar Stand-jalustat 990€/pari (mustat). Saatavissa myös etukankaat elementtien eteen.
To keep the same Marten sound we designed brand new drivers, allowing more control of the details. Knowing the precise potential of the driver made it easier to design the system and integrate it. The bass unit has broader excursion: giving a tighter, more controlled sound.
The exterior is an exercise in minimalist design – no unnecessary details; no embellishment. Marten cabinet design is a balance of strength and elegance: the perfect compliment to the sound. After all, there’s no need to guild a lily.
” Hifihuone delivered one of the most generally applicable demos of the show. The set-up consisted of McIntosh electronics, MT2 vinyl player, MCD600 CD-player, MC352 amplifier, which fed Marten Oscar Duo loudspeakers. The choice of the loudspeakers was a jackpot for the room. The tonal balance and colour palet was excellent – nothing seemed to be exaggerated or obtrusive. This was the setup which imperceptibly conducted us to concentrate on the music instead of system analysis! The sound was very pleasant and open, but also well controlled and revealing enough at the same time, which was confirmed finally by my test CDs as well. ”

” Oscar Duon ääni on havaittavasti laadukas ja paljastaa sekä valmistajan geeniperimän että kaiuttimen yläluokkaisuuden. Resoluution ansiosta tututkin äänitteet soivat tuoreesti. Kokonaisuus on tarkka sekä hyvin jäsentynyt. Lisäksi ääni on innostava, muttei vielä liian riehakas. Ääni myös syttyy ja sammuu tarvittaessa nopeasti. Niinpä mikrodynamiikan tapahtumat avautuivat helposti ja hiljaa soitettaessa. Parhaimmillaan musiikki ylitti purkitetun todellisuuden rajoja ja nostatti ihokarvoja pystyyn. ” Jussi Arvio / HIFIMAAILMA (6/2020)
“Designer Leif Olofsson has threaded the needle, producing a small speaker that can produce prodigious bass.”
“The pair produced a generously sized stage—wide, tall, and deep—within which were presented solid images, proportionately sized and well-focused. Lights out, the Duos disappeared, producing a space-filling picture that I wouldn’t have thought possible from such small boxes.”
“Each deep, identical quarter-note shook the room. I repeated the track and cranked it up to try to get the speaker to lose its composure, but it didn’t budge. That was a lot of deep, quality bass from a very small speaker!”
“Despite the robust bass produced by this small speaker, decay was fast, clean, and close to overhang-free”

John Atkinson, who did the measurements for the review said this:
“The Marten Oscar Duo’s excellent measured performance is indicative of some equally impressive engineering.”
