Marten states its Mingus Septet is perfect for those that admire the power and performance of Mingus Orchestra, but want a lounge-friendly listening experience and visitors to this year's High End Munich will be able to find out for themselves if it lives up to the hype.
The new four-way speaker features no less than seven drivers, including a 1-inch custom diamond tweeter, a 3-inch beryllium high mid driver, a 7-inch ceramic mid-bass driver, a pair of 8-inch aluminium sandwich honeycomb woofers further bolstered by two 10-inch passive aluminium sandwich units.
Furthermore, we're told that the Mingus Septet utilises a first-order crossover at 200, 800, and 6,000 Hz adapted to best use the new custom drivers. Finally, everything is connected via Jorma internal wiring, ensuring superior performance with renowned shielding for transparent sound.
The result, according to Marten, is a quoted 23-40000 Hz +-2dB frequency range, 89 dB / 2.83 V sensitivity and 6-ohm nominal impedance.
The 126 x 33.5 x 46 cm (HxWxD) 95kg cabinet features aluminium trim for resonance damping as well as aesthetics and stands on Marten Isolators, designed with IsoAcoustics for further resonance reduction and distortion management.
Alongside the Mingus Septet, the Swedish high-end loudspeaker designer is also launching Marten Finishes to offer customisation options for Mingus Septet. Here you can choose wooden tops and bottoms from a range of coloured lacquer finishes, as well as signature solid woods. This service will also be available for other models in the Mingus series.
The Marten Mingus Septet is priced from €108,000 (depending on wooden finishes) and can be upgraded to the Statement Edition using Jorma Statement wiring from €122,000.
