Introducing the 
all-new Avant 900i
Refining existing and proven speaker
technologies, as well as introducing
new materials and innovations, the
Avant 900i range comprises a wide
range of loudspeakers designed for
stereo two-channel and multi-channel
home cinema applications. 
Designed at the company’s UK
research and development facility,
these advanced loudspeakers house a
raft of third generation technologies.
Revised drivers have been re-voiced to
deliver improved high frequency
response, as well as greater clarity and
detail from the midrange and bass.
For the most acoustically deadened
enclosure possible, the cabinets have
been remodelled with heavily revised
internal bracing to strengthen the
already sturdy cabinet assembly. 
A new terminal panel offering easier
connection of speaker cables and new
bullet terminals – directly descended
from our flagship Performance speakers
– also feature across this new series. 
Unlike some manufacturers,
Mordaunt-Short doesn’t stop designing
its products just because they’re
sonically perfect. We also care
passionately how our speakers will
look in your home. Subtly contoured,
all Avant 900i models feature satin
aluminium silver baffles, elegant feet
combining spikes and come in
stunning contemporary finishes to
complement any home. Continuing this
tradition, a stunning Calvados option
joins the current elegant Honey Maple
and black finishes.
The Avant 900i – a loudspeaker
range that looks every bit as good as 
it sounds.
Research and development
Underlining every Mordaunt-Short
product is the company’s commitment
to engineering excellence. Every
component in every speaker, even the
screws, has been designed by a
Mordaunt-Short mechanical engineer.
In addition our products are designed
and manufactured to ISO9000
standards. Such an uncompromising
approach ensures that every
Mordaunt-Short product delivers class
leading performance.
The passion behind the brand 
Mordaunt-Short’s London-based
research and development team has a
wealth of experience. This is backed up
by the company’s thirty five years at the
forefront of loudspeaker manufacture. A
dedicated acoustic and mechanical
engineering team use a combination of
measurement and analysis techniques
to make Mordaunt-Short dreams reality.
Our people care passionately about the
brand and drive the innovation for
which we’re renowned. 
Engineering investment 
To maintain our position at the forefront
of current loudspeaker design requires
significant investment. Every product is
developed in a dedicated research and
development facility and fully tested in
a state-of-the-art listening room. 
Before sign-off, each and every
loudspeaker is personally voiced by the
head of Acoustic Engineering to ensure
it’s fit to bear the Mordaunt-Short name. 
Patented technologies
Mordaunt-Short is committed to
engineering and materials innovation.
This can be traced back to ground-
breaking use of injection moulding in
the 1980s, the development of CPC
(Continuous Profile Cone) drivers and
the new Aspirated Tweeter
Technology™ (ATT) from the company’s
flagship Performance range. Mordaunt-
Short holds a plethora of patents,
underlining its position at the forefront
of loudspeaker design.
Our commitment to
engineering excellence
At the heart of every Mordaunt-Short loudspeaker is our
London based research and development team. Our
passion for quality is second to none...
Mordaunt-Short’s policy is one of continuous improvement. Design and specifications are therefore subject to change without prior notice.
