Mordaunt Short AX161 Outdoor Speakers
Whether you are relaxing in the garden, on the terrace, or by the pool, the experience is enhanced by music. Why limit the enjoyment of your hi-fi to the house when there are great opportunities to enjoy the music in the great outdoors? Mordaunt-Short's AX161 offers a surprisingly large bass extension thanks to its ported cabinet design and specially selected mid/bass driver. This injection moulded cone woofer is mated to an aluminium dome tweeter for the crispest treble delivery. Both are carefully treated to ensure longevity even in humid or damp conditions. The durable cabinets are specially treated to prevent discoloration from UV rays, and the adjustable brackets and Omnimount™ fittings allow you great flexibility in positioning.
These speakers have been specially tuned by the acoustic teams at Mordaunt-Short to provide the sound quality and clarity you would associate from a well made standmount speaker, allowing you to enjoy the quality of your hi-fi outside your home.

Mordaunt Short History
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 Mezzo 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.
