Introducing Alumni
Introducing Alumni, the little home cinema speaker package that thinks big! Belying incredibly compact dimensions, Alumni is the latest in a long line of elegant Mordaunt-Short surround sound speaker systems. These stunning high-gloss designs utilise the company’s forty year research and development expertise and truly make your movies and music come alive.
The little speaker with big ideas
The perfect fusion of
form and function
Mordaunt-Short’s passion for innovative design and advanced voicing techniques means nothing takes the shine off Alumni’s performance. Alumni’s small but perfectly formed
cabinets blend seamlessly into any listening environment and come in two striking finishes – piano black and white high gloss. Alumni is designed so that each speaker integrates with the next to provide an expansive and truly engaging soundstage. Indeed, Alumni thrives on Mordaunt-Short’s stereo speaker pedigree and is equally at home as a 2.1 set-up*. Alumni is an accessible way into high quality hi-fi and home cinema sound reproduction at an incredibly affordable price.
Alumni brings your home theatre to life!
Alumni is designed so that each speaker integrates perfectly with the next to provide an expansive and inspiring sound.
The satellites, centre and subwoofer all work in harmony with each other to produce an awesome sonic experience. Alumni is available à la carte to cater for every type of room and configuration – whether it be standard 5.1, LCR or full 7.2 set-up. An extra centre channel can be employed at the rear for movie dialogue while Alumni towers offer even more flexibility. For the bass-hungry a second subwoofer can be specified.
Alumni 2
satellite
The Alumni 2 satellites benefit from an improved signal path via an upgraded crossover with low saturation inductors and polypropylene capacitors which reduce
distortion and improve detail, integration and clarity. Alumni 2 profits from much of the technology present in some of Mordaunt-Short’s other loudspeakers such as Avant i and the flagship Performance range. The 25mm aluminium dome tweeter delivers elevated dynamic accuracy and razor sharp resolution while the CPC (Continuous Profile Cone) mid/bass drivers’ clean lines are fundamental to Alumni 2’s superior audio reproduction. Indeed, the uninterrupted cone surface ensures excellent rigidity and therefore minimal distortion.
One of the most interesting aspects of the design is the cabinet: Alumni’s curved shape discourages the build up of standing waves for a cleaner and more realistic sound. Improved internal wadding gives support where needed, inherently strengthens the speaker and most importantly helps critical damping.
