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.
ARC™ (Active
Room Control)
Because every room is different, we have developed a proprietary Mordaunt-Short
room matching system to deliver the very best low frequency performance. Quickly
tune-out unwanted effects using the supplied Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter
and set-up CD. The SPL meter can also be used to accurately set-up channel levels
across your Home Theatre system using the ‘test tone’ function on
AV receivers.
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.
