High End Munich 2024

1st May 2024

High End Munich 2024 marks our eagerly awaited return to the show-of-shows. And this year—with the unveiling of our new model Coltrane Quintet—it might be one of our best yet.

Premiering in Munich, Coltrane Quintet is the crown jewel of Marten’s showcase, representing a gear shift in audio engineering. Our masterwork stands poised to redefine benchmarks for natural sound reproduction, soundstage presentation, dynamic range and resonance reduction.

Marten room • Atrium 4.1, room F119

At the heart of our show lies the creation of a room-within-a-room, setting the stage for the presentation of our new model. We promise attendees an oasis of sonic purity amidst the cacophony of the show floor.

Coltrane Quintet represents the culmination of Marten’s rigourous pursuit of perfection. As successor to the legendary Coltrane 3 and the first addition to the Coltrane line in six years, it embodies our commitment to sound reproduction. Showcasing the most advanced technology and craftsmanship, Coltrane Quintet promises to deliver the music. After presenting Mingus Septet last year, we have pretty big boots to fill, but we think we’re up to the challenge.

Complemented by Jorma cables and cutting-edge electronics from esteemed partners such as Antipodes, DS Audio, Halcro, MSB, and TechDas, this comprehensive demonstration promises the perfect platform from which to launch Coltrane Quintet.
