Marten, distributed by Advance Audio Australia, has opened pre-orders for its Marten Dexter loudspeaker series. The range introduces redesigned drivers, cabinets and a new bass loading system aimed at delivering improved performance across the lineup.

Designed by Marten founder and lead designer Leif Olofsson, the Dexter series incorporates a diamond tweeter across all models, paired with ceramic midrange drivers and carbon fibre woofers depending on the configuration.

The range also debuts Marten’s loaded reflex line bass loading system, designed to improve low-frequency extension and impact while reducing sensitivity to room placement.

“Leif describes the bass as being one of the most noticeable differences. The Parker series, while it has extension, is a little slow compared to the Dexter, which is more dynamic and lively, while still having the extension,” Advance Audio Australia owner Nigel Ng says.

“Demand from these has been unprecedented at Marten, they’ve already presold more than two years’ worth of Parker series within a week of announcing them at Vienna.”
