Mordaunt Short Mezzo Series Speakers
In 2004, something of a revolution took place at Mordaunt-Short. The legendary loudspeaker manufacturer produced the flagship Performance model which re-wrote the rule book and used some truly groundbreaking technologies never before seen in the hi-fi world. Performance has since won countless awards around the globe and is considered to be a modern classic.
Many of Performance’s most significant features have now trickled down to the company’s new range – Mezzo. All this means that true hi-fi bliss is available to a wider audience, most notably you and all at a phenomenally affordable price.
Comprising a full loudspeaker series and a blend of scintillating sound and truly graceful aesthetics, Mordaunt Short Mezzo family of speakers affords you the opportunity to experience music and movies as those involved intended, and what can be better than that?
Mezzo 8 Floorstanding Speakers
For those wanting an even more commanding sound with plenty of bass, look no further than the Mordaunt Short Mezzo 8 floorstander.
Using all the technology present in the rest of the range including the ATT tweeter, Mezzo 8 uses one 5.25" and two 6.5" latest generation CPC (Continuous Profile Cone) mid/bass drivers for a phenomenally detailed sound.
Mezzo 8 is true 3-way design - the mid range itself has its own enclosure and is completely separate from the bass drivers ensuring it deals solely with its allotted bandwidth.
Thanks to its curved cabinet, the Mezzo 8 loudspeaker blends into any listening environment with ease and comes with a custom made plinth for ultimate stability.

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.
