Coltrane 3 Statement Edition (SE). We’ve spent years engineering the sound of this loudspeaker to offer true musicality. Coltrane 3 SE presents a balance of intuitive design and technological expertise. The result is music as it should be, with vivid dynamics and a detailed sound stage.
Unpacking Coltrane 3 SE is packed in 2 black flight cases. Please check the contents when you receive your loudspeakers. If the shipping box does not arrive in its original state, please contact your dealer immediately. We recommend that at least two people unpack and assemble the loudspeakers.
We recommended the use of the burn-in track (CD/USB) to speed up this process. Due to the high-tech materials used in the drivers, Coltrane 3 SE may sound a bit harsh at first. After approximately 50 hours of playing your loudspeakers will sound much better.
Wiring method Coltrane 3 SE is designed with bi-wiring in mind. If you prefer bi-amping, we recommend that you use the same type of cable for the best sound reproduction. For single-wire applications please use the enclosed jumpers.
Room acoustics A good listening room has just the right amount of reflection and absorption. The performance of any loudspeaker depends on the speaker’s location in the room and the acoustic conditions in that part of the room. Furnishings, size and proportions all affect tonal balance, imaging and bass characteristics.
Rear and side walls For the best results, Coltrane 3 SE should be no closer than 80cm (31.5”) from the rear wall. Marten loudspeakers should not be placed close to a side wall, as reflections from these can disturb the depth of the sound image.
There are also three tracks purely for your listening pleasure; these were recorded in our studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. You can also download these files from marten.se/audiofiles 1. Burn-in track* 2. The Look Of Love** - Jeanette Lindström & Steve Dobrogosz 3. Blue In Green - Tommy Kotter...
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. In the event your loudspeakers need to be serviced, please contact your dealer. They can decide whether the problem can be remedied locally or if they need to contact Marten for service. Warranty Marten provides a transferable, limited manufacturer’s warranty.
