Mordaunt-Short genie 402 Brochura

Genie™ is a revolution in Home Theatre. With nearly four decades’

expertise producing outstanding, award-winning loudspeakers, Genie

combines Mordaunt-Short’s passion for sound reproduction with a

stunning contemporary design. 

Genie is a truly-flexible Home Theatre package enabling the perfect

set-up in any room and with any system. Genie’s die-cast alloy cabinets –

finished in silver or black – not only look fantastic, but the shape itself

delivers a pure and natural sound.

A raft of technologies results in compact speakers which offer truly

superb sound delivery, whether you’re listening to your favourite CDs,

watching the latest DVD release or just relaxing in front of the TV.

Each of the four beautifully sculpted
satellites houses a 4" (10cm)
mid/bass driver. This unit benefits
from Mordaunt-Short’s latest-
generation CPC™ (Continuous
Profile Cone) proprietary technology
and an advanced viscous coupling
adapted from aerospace technology.

This is allied to Mordaunt-Short’s
acclaimed 1" (25mm) aluminium
dome tweeter, optimally damped to
offer the smoothest delivery of high
frequencies at all volumes.

These and many other technologies
come together to produce a satellite
speaker which delivers the purest of
sound and ingenuity of design
never seen before in a Home
Theatre package.

Looking after low frequencies is the
409W subwoofer, powered by a 200
watt digital amplifier. This uses a 10"
(25cm), long-throw down-firing
CPC driver and incorporates
Mordaunt-Short’s innovative
Adjustable Notch Filter™ technology
and ARC™ (Active Room Control)
system. This enables you to tune-
out unwanted room effects using
the supplied set-up meter. 

Finished in silver with a stylish,
anodised aluminium top, the down-
firing design means placement is
possible virtually anywhere in the
listening environment.

Unlike many current loudspeaker
packages, Genie employs a
dedicated centre speaker to cope
with the different acoustic demands
of Home Theatre. The symmetrical
D’Appolito (woofer-tweeter-
woofer) configuration is specially
voiced for dialogue and optimised
for central positioning. The 404 is
also magnetically shielded which
means it can be placed close to
(even on top of) a TV and other
sources without interference.
