Est. year: 1998

Marten Design is the earlier name of Marten, the loudspeaker company that Leif Mårten Olofsson founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1998. This page covers the same family firm and the same jazz-named speaker families, listed under the older trading name that still appears on many existing products.

Range & what it's known for

The speakers are passive designs grouped into the Oscar, Parker, Mingus and Coltrane families, plus the Dexter line. Drivers come from the German maker Accuton, with ceramic units across the range, Cell drivers in the Coltrane 3 and pure diamond tweeters on Diamond editions such as the Parker Trio Diamond.

Who owns it and where it's made

Ownership stays with the Olofsson brothers Leif, Jörgen and Lars. Cabinets are built and speakers assembled by hand at the company's own works near Gothenburg, next to its offices and recording studio.
