MEZZO

The Mezzo 1 proves that Mordaunt-Short’s trademark sound can be delivered from the smallest of cabinets and offers a taste of genuine high-end hi-fi at a more than attainable price.

The ATT tweeter is featured in its most compact cabinet to date and coupled with a 5¼ driver, this compact bookshelf speaker offers deep and rich performance as well as an impressively large sound stage.

Mezzo 1 was designed with two specific purposes in mind; stereo and to act as a satellite or rear effect speaker in a home theatre system and fits neatly into any listening environment.

Suggested Selling Price £369.90

The Mezzo 2 belying its compact size, Mezzo 2 embraces ATT to produce a remarkably expansive sound and stereo image and is the ideal two-channel stereo speaker.

After a lengthy research process, Mordaunt-Short has rewritten the rule book and taken its legendary CPC™ (Continuous Profile Cone) bass drivers to the next level. These combine with a sound deadened driver basket for a superb all round listening experience.

The cabinet’s curved shape discourages the build up of standing waves for a cleaner and more realistic sound. Indeed it is unusual to get this level of performance from such a small speaker and with your eyes closed you’ll think you have a full orchestra or rock group in front of you.

Suggested Selling Price £849.90


The Mezzo 9 is a truly incredible subwoofer and the result of an exhaustive research and development process with one aim – to produce the ultimate sub at an affordable price. The results are truly mindblowing. Using dual opposed 8” CPC ultra long throw woofers in forced cancel configuration for ultra stability and minimal vibration, the sub metes out a thumping 375W of power and all from an incredibly compact cabinet which integrates perfectly into any listening environment.

The Mezzo 9 is designed to be used in any combination from 2.1 right through to 7.2 set-up and is a Class D design for efficient running.

But the Mezzo 9 is not just about delivering controlled bass extension to your movies and music, it is also infinitely user friendly and lets you take control via an ergonomic Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter and remote control in one handset.

This boon is normally the reserve of subs costing four or five times as much and so from the comfort of your preferred listening position, you can tailor the Mezzo sub to respond to exacting standards. Two notch filters, boost options and dynamics can all be adapted accordingly. A Music/Movie/Game select mode allows the sub to be tailored for specific use and can be quickly switched between thanks to presets.

The Mezzo 9 also features a powerful DSP engine which can be tailored to your exact set-up and room acoustics.

This kind of technology and ease of use is phenomenal in any subwoofer and unheard of at this price point. All this means you will be selling popcorn at the front door as your friends flock to enjoy your home cinema experience.
