Genie speakers are a revolution
in Home Theatre and Cinema. Combining Mordaunt Short’s passion for sound
reproduction with a stunning contemporary design, Genie is the ultimate sub/satellite
speaker system for stereo and multi-channel set-ups.
A truly-flexible Home Cinema
speaker package, Genie enables the perfect speaker set-up in any room. The unique
shape of the die-cast alloy cabinets delivers a pure and potent sound - whether
you’re watching the latest DVD release, enjoying your favourite CDs, or
just relaxing in front of the TV.
Available in silver or black,
Mordaunt Short’s Genie can be configured to meet your precise requirements.
A standard 5.1 set-up includes four Genie 402 satellites speakers, a Genie 404
centre speaker and a Genie 409W subwoofer. This can be reconfigured to a 6.1
set-up by the addition of a second Genie 404 centre speaker, and for the bass
hungry, a second Genie 409W (SILVER ONLY )subwoofer can be added to awesome
effect!
Unlike many current loudspeaker
packages, Mordaunt Short’s Genie employs a dedicated centre speaker –
the Genie 404 centre speaker - to cope with the different acoustic demands of
Home Theatre. The symmetrical D'Appolito (woofer-tweeter-woofer) configuration,
is specially voiced for dialogue and optimised for central positioning.
The Genie 404 centre speaker is magnetically shielded which
means it can be placed close to (even on top of) a TV and other sources without
interference.

CPC™ (Continuous
Profile Cone)
Latest generation CPC™ (Continuous Profile Cone) drivers featuring Mordaunt-Short’s™
new variable V-Form™ technology enable exactly predictable driver performance
by ensuring controlled piston-like movement at low frequencies and minimal break-up
at higher frequencies. Lightweight, extremely rigid anodised aluminium cones are
used for faithful dynamics.
Nickel-plated, bullet terminals
Completing the elegant cabinets, are matching nickel-plated, bullet terminals
offering flexible connection – via banana plugs, bare cable or spade terminals.
Aluminium dome tweeters
Mordaunt-Short’s proprietary 25mm anodised aluminium dome tweeter gives
excellent dynamics and astonishing detail over a wide frequency range. A high
temperature voice coil with liquid cooling and damping guarantees the perfect
performance.
Advanced cabinet design
The shape and material used minimises transitional colouration meaning you get
the ultimate Home Theatre speaker system – sonically and visually!
Magnetically shielded
Magnetic shielding means units can be placed close to TVs without interference.
This is particularly important for the Genie 404 centre speaker.
Established in 1967, Mordaunt
Short is responsible for the development of some of the world’s most critically
acclaimed loudspeakers.
From the beginning, Mordaunt Short has produced loudspeakers
of the very highest order which is underlined by that fact that our first ever
range enjoyed exclusive distribution through Harrods of Knightsbridge, London.
The very essence of Mordaunt Short can be found in each and
every speaker they create. Whilst Mordaunt Short is proud of their heritage
and the fact that there one of the few remaining British owned and engineered
speaker brands, they never rest on tradition. Instead, Mordaunt Short is always
in search of new technologies to take you as close as possible to the music
you love.
An incredibly forward-thinking company, Mordaunt Short produces
some of the most technologically advanced loudspeakers available today. All
Mordaunt Short products are a testament to this innovative spirit and style
but it is most apparent in models such as Genie and Performance. Their expertise
allows them to constantly challenge the status quo – does a speaker really
have to be made from wood? Why does it have to be rectangular?
But the most important resource they have, are the people who
work for them. With a dedicated team of ten engineers and a purpose-built research
and development centre in London, Mordaunt Short has some of the best resources
in the industry.
With an engineering pedigree second-to-none, you won’t
be surprised to hear that Mordaunt Short designs each and every component in
their products to their own specifications.
After a lengthy development programme, all Mordaunt Short products
are put before the ultimate test – the human ear. And not just any ear
will do. Before you get to listen to Mordaunt Short speakers, Mordaunt Short’s
head of acoustic engineering signs off each and every design.
Since its foundation, Mordaunt Short has produced legendary
designs including the Festival, Carnival and Pageant models of the early-Seventies
which was followed by the Pearl Edition range of the late-Nineties right through
to today’s Performance and Genie ranges. Every one of these models was
conceived from one continuing vision - to build the best loudspeaker money can
buy, combining engineering excellence, an enthusiasm for innovation and carefully
controlled manufacturing processes.
