Mordaunt Short Mezzo 1
Compact bookshelf speaker from Mordaunt-Short, fitted with a miniaturised ATT tweeter and a dedicated mid/bass driver, for small setups seeking precision.
Description
The Mezzo 1 is a bookshelf speaker from Mordaunt-Short, designed to deliver a refined sound in a deliberately compact format. It belongs to the British manufacturer's Mezzo range, renowned for transposing its acoustic expertise into reduced dimensions.
This speaker incorporates Mordaunt-Short's ATT (Advanced Transmission-line Tweeter), here fitted into its most compact cabinet to date. This transducer is paired with a 5¼ inch driver handling the mid/bass. This combination aims for a sound that is both rich and deep, with a soundstage that the brand states is particularly wide for a speaker of this size.
The Mezzo 1 is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts looking for an entry point into the high end without the space required for imposing floorstanding speakers. Its bookshelf format suits it to placement on stands or on furniture, in a living room or office, for demanding music listening sessions despite its limited footprint.

What to check before buying used
The surrounds of the 5¼ inch woofer deserve close inspection: sagging, hardening or tearing of the surround affects bass performance and often requires reconditioning. Also check the ATT tweeter, which is sensitive to knocks and humidity, as well as the condition of the cabinet (veneer, corners, presence of covers) and the fixing of the connectors on the rear panel.
