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 5
centre
Mordaunt-Short has been making compact speaker packages for nearly two decades and is an advocate of the necessity for a dedicated centre speaker design. This is ably demonstrated by both the award winning Genie and Premiere systems. The Alumni 5 centre speaker is critically voiced for the demands of dialogue in films which require crisp clean treble and high levels of detail for precise reproduction. But the centre is also adept at recreating a broad and open natural soundstage when playing music in surround.
The symmetrical D’Appolito (woofer-tweeter-woofer) configuration with two 3.5” mid/bass drivers has consistently been proven to provide the best power response and performance for speakers of this size. Like the satellites, the curved design reduces standing waves, as well as improving audio dispersion which makes positioning easier and less demanding. It is designed to be placed against a wall or under a TV for improved integration and impact. The centre also comes with an infinitely adjustable plinth.
