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 8
tower
The Alumni 8 tower adds another dimension to the range by combining the healthy bass extension of a standard box speaker with the elegance of a slim podium. Alumni thrives on Mordaunt-Short’s acoustic pedigree and is equally at home in stereo, 2.1 with an Alumni 9 subwoofer or multichannel set-ups.
The Alumni 8 tower uses a 1" aluminium tweeter, two CPC Continuous Profile Cone drivers and four Acoustic Bass Radiators for a superbly fluid sound.
At lower frequencies, subwoofers become omni-directional in that it is difficult to detect where the sound is coming from which in turn makes for a more entertaining movie as you feel part of the action. If the surround speakers can better deal with lower frequencies then the subwoofer can concentrate on the real booming bass parts. The Alumni tower's greater frequency range allows the Alumni 9 subwoofer crossover to be set lower therefore aiding its integration into the system for a more coherent and thrill driven home cinema experience.
