Marten chooses Isoacoustics for Loudspeaker Isolation
Canadian isolation device company, IsoAcoustics, is certainly not a new company, but boy, it's made some waves (or stopped some?) in the last couple of years.
Announced today, Marten, the Swedish high-end loudspeaker company, has upgraded its flagship series of floorstanding speakers to include Marten Isolators, developed with IsoAcoustics.
Marten and IsoAcoustics have teamed up once more for its Coltrane 3 and Coltrane Tenor 2 - the latest models to receive the Marten Isolator upgrade. Marten Isolators are now standard for the Coltrane series, Mingus Orchestra, and the Parker series but are also available as upgrades across the Marten range (except Duke 2).
Marten said:
By managing the boundary condition between the speaker and the supporting surface, Marten Isolators reduce the transfer of energy to the floor and prevent reflections from being conducted back into the enclosure, leading to improved definition. Marten Isolators are designed to provide a stable foundation for Marten speakers, allowing the speakers to deliver remarkable three-dimensional stereo imaging and clarity regardless of the floor construction.
Here at StereoNET, we're yet to hear a loudspeaker that hasn't benefited from the addition of IsoAcoustics isolation feet. And it's not just loudspeakers that benefit - we've used them under turntables, preamps and amps, even the shelves on racks. Its range of products is now highly-regarded, and in our opinion, it is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your audio or AV system.

It's great to see IsoAcoustics' real-world performance becoming more widely appreciated and more partnerships forming with the Canadian family business.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
