Oscar Duo sparked a design rethink to deliver Marten sound with new technology - bespoke drivers were created to make this possible. And that’s not the only thing that is custom: the optional stand is a Marten original. Innovation drove the creation of the Oscar series; understanding challenge, taking risks and rethinking design are the ashes from which Oscar was born.
The Marten Oscar Duo is a 2-way Stand-mount speaker featuring custom-designed ceramic drivers: a 1" tweeter and a 7" woofer. It offers a frequency range of 37–20,000 Hz (±3 dB), a power rating of 150 W, and a sensitivity of 86 dB. The 25 mm fiber laminate cabinet comes in Matte Walnut, Piano Black, or Piano White finishes. Utilizing a second-order crossover at 2,500 Hz, WBT Nextgen single-wiring terminals, and Jorma Design internal wiring, it delivers controlled, natural sound with deep bass.
Oscar Duo meets the demand for a reasonably-priced Marten speaker, without sacrifice to our renowned sound and quality. To achieve this we re-designed the build and created a bespoke driver.
The build offers exceptionally controlled and natural sound; true musicality that is the mark of a Marten speaker. With custom drivers and low distortion, Oscar Trio offers dynamic range, longer excursion and deep bass performance.
"Lights out, the Duos disappeared, producing a space-filling picture that I wouldn't have thought possible from such small boxes."

To keep the same Marten sound we designed brand new drivers, allowing more control of the details.
Hard ceramic is light, yet extremely rigid, making it one of the best materials for speaker membranes – it’s also known as Sapphire.
Our ceramic domes have a high internal damping factor, because of a refined electrochemical process. The membrane also has a high material resonance frequency, meaning distortion is minimal; offering a level of clarity that is the holy grail for high end speaker domes.
