Initial setup Your newly unpacked Mingus Quintet 2 SE loudspeakers need considerable playing time in order to reach their optimum performance. 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 SE may sound a bit harsh at first.
Connecting your To get the most of Mingus Quintet 2 SE please loudspeakers consider the following when connecting them to your system. Choosing cables The cables you use can have a dramatic effect on the sound of your loudspeakers. Be sure to use the same brand, type and length of cable for each channel.
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, Mingus Quintet 2 SE 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.
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.
