Technical Speciﬁcations

Welcome Thank you for choosing Mingus Quintet 2.

We’ve spent years engineering the sound of

this loudspeaker to oer true musicality.

Mingus Quintet 2 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.

Our aim has always been to recreate sound as it

was recorded - bringing you closer to the live energy

and spirit of music.

For this level of detail, it’s important to ensure that

your system is of equal match to your loudspeakers.

Your ampliﬁer, source components, cables and even

recordings can aect the sound of Mingus Quintet 2.

It’s vital to set-up your loudspeakers correctly

and adjust them to your listening environment.

There are many factors to think about, but

careful consideration at this stage will ensure

optimum performance that you can enjoy for

many years to come.

Unpacking

Contents

How to unpack

2 x Mingus Quintet 2 loudspeaker

8 x Marten Isolators

1 x Owner’s manual

1 x CD / USB

Unpack your loudspeakers carefully, as there are sensitive parts

that could be damaged. We suggest that you keep the box and

inserts for later transportation of your loudspeakers.

Mingus Quintet 2 is packed in 2 wooden 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.

1. Put the crate upright on the rods close to the intended listening

place

2. Open the lid

3. Take out the accessory box

4. Slide the loudspeaker including the foam protection ends out of

the box onto the ﬂoor

5. Lay the loudspeaker down

6. Take o the foam ends

7. Take o the protective cloth

8. Attach Marten Isolators to each cabinet

8.1 Screw Isolators into the stand as far as possible without over-

tightening

8.2 Place speaker upright

8.3 Adjust each Marten Isolator to ensure the speaker is level

8.4 Rotate each Marten Isolator so the Marten logo faces

forwards

8.5 Tighten nuts to ﬁx the position of each Marten Isolator

9. Move the loudspeaker to its intended place

Initial setup

Burning-in your loudspeakers

Your newly unpacked Mingus Quintet 2

loudspeakers need considerable playing time

in order to reach their optimum performance.

1. Connect the loudspeakers to your system

2. Put the CD in your CD player or use the ﬁles on the USB drive

3. Choose track 1 and set it on repeat

4. Set the volume to a moderate level

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, Mingus Quintet 2 may sound a bit harsh at ﬁrst. Aer

approximately 50 hours of playing your loudspeakers will sound

much better. Aer about 200 hours of playing, your system will

be optimised; the sound will be more open, detailed and display

more natural musical warmth.

Please allow the audio to run for a minimum of 24 hours

before adjusting the placement of the loudspeakers in your

listening room.

Connecting your

loudspeakers

Connections

Choosing cables

To get the most of Mingus Quintet 2 please consider

the following when connecting them to your system.

The cables you use can have a dramatic eect on the sound of

your loudspeakers. Be sure to use the same brand, type and

length of cable for each channel. Mixing dierent types and/or

lengths of cable can upset the precise timing and balance of

your loudspeakers.

Always turn o the power of your entire system before making

connections to your speakers.

We recommend using an ampliﬁer with su∏cient power:

typically a minimum of 40 watts.

On the back of each Mingus Quintet 2 cabinet, you will

ﬁnd two pairs of WBT Nextgen terminals that will accept

any standard connections.

In order to obtain the best localisation of instruments and

voices, as well as deep, natural bass, it is important to connect

your loudspeakers in-phase. The connectors on the speakers are

clearly marked with + (red) and - (white) symbols. Your ampliﬁer

and loudspeaker cables should also be clearly marked. Keep all

markings consistent to ensure in-phase connections.

It is important to make sure that contact to the terminals is

good and the connectors are tight. Tighten the terminal posts

and then, aer a few days, retighten to make sure that the

connections haven’t become loose.

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 aect tonal

balance, imaging and bass characteristics. Large areas of glass,

mirror, or wood panelling will reﬂect sound waves and oen

result in brittleness and extreme brightness. You can correct this

by breaking up these sound waves with soer surfaces like

curtains or wall hangings - try to create random reﬂections.

Allow time to experiment with the placement of your speakers

- eort at this stage will reward you with good sound

optimisation in your room.

Positioning

Loudspeaker placement

Every room is shaped and decorated dierently

and therefore presents unique requirements for

the positioning of loudspeakers.

Your loudspeakers will function at their best when placed on a

ﬂat, stable surface. Ideally, the space between the loudspeakers

should be clear and the speakers should be centred on the rear

wall. We recommend experimenting with the placement of your

loudspeakers in order to obtain the best balance, openness and

perception of depth.

For the best results, Mingus Quintet 2 should be no closer than

60 cm (23.6”) 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.

The listening distance should be no closer than 2.5m,

but preferably 3m or greater.

On the back of each Mingus Quintet 2 loudspeaker, you will ﬁnd

a dial that will allow you to adjust the bass by 1 dB in four steps.

Rotating the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity, and

rotating it anti-clockwise decreases the sensitivity.

Mingus Quintet 2 loudspeakers deliver excellent imaging.

To make the most of this, the loudspeakers should be toed

in towards the listening area to focus the sound.

Ideally, your listening position and each loudspeaker

should form an equilateral triangle. The goal is to have a

balanced sound. Track 2 of the enclosed CD / USB can be

used to help focus the soundstage. With this track,

you should be able to place the recorded voice in the

centre of your speaker arrangement.

The amount of toe-in will depend on the room environment and

dimensions, as well as your listening preferences. Take time to

experiment with your listening position and the position of your

loudspeakers. This will give you a more precise sound image.

Enclosed CD / USB

Care of your loudspeakers

The enclosed CD and USB contains tracks to help you

set up your loudspeakers. 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

Marten loudspeakers require no special treatment

apart from careful handling, as you would with any

high-tech product in your home.

1. Burn-in track*

2. The Look Of Love** - Jeanette Lindström & Steve Dobrogosz

3. Blue In Green - Tommy Kotter

4. I Can’t Believe He Never Said Goodbye - Åsa Tåhlin, Mitch

Hiller & Peter Axelsson

5. Lady’s A Tramp - Mitch Hiller & Peter Axelsson

Because many dierent materials are used in the making of the

loudspeakers, all-in-one cleaning materials should not be used.

Never use abrasive materials or cleaning ﬂuids.

The cabinet and other parts should only be cleaned with a so,

dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water.

* Use to burn-in your loudspeakers

** Use to focus your loudspeakers
