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, Mezzo affords you the opportunity to experience music and movies as those involved intended, and what can be better than that?
Mezzo uses patent pending proprietary Aspirated Tweeter Technology (ATT) - a truly ground breaking design that was first seen in the now legendary Performance series. Using state-of the-art injection moulding, the elongated unit whose form is defined by complex acoustic principles - floats freely in a discrete enclosure. Along its length are strategically positioned vents eliminating the colouration which plagues traditional closed-back designs. This unusual venting system means Mezzo's high frequency drivers literally 'breathe', resulting in an open yet detailed sound.
Mordaunt-Short uses an advanced alumninium dome tweeter which the company has been perfecting for over 20 years. The ultra thin diaphragm and compression moulded surround is mounted on a low resonance chassis. The tweeter utilises a high temperature voice coil with liquid cooling and damping to ensure controlled high frequency performance with excellent detail.
For those wanting an even more commanding sound with plenty of bass, look no further than the 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.
Sound and Image ReviewMordaunt-Short's Mezzo home theatre speaker system sounds excellent, looks absolutely gorgeous, and is engineered (especially the subwoofer) to ensure that you can extract the highest performance of which it is capable.
Hifi World ReviewStereo staging was open and spacious... The tweeter is so smooth and clean I also found myself able to turn volume up without having to cringe. Silky mid and treble make these loudspeakers unusually distinctive.
A/V Max ReviewWhichever track we threw in as a challenge, the Mezzo 8s chewed on the CD feeds deftly and filled the room with grace.
