Finishes
All Avant 900i models are available in
the current elegant Honey Maple and
black finishes and now a striking new
Calvados option.
Avant 903i
For those putting together a specialist
home theatre system, bipolar rear
channel loudspeakers, such as the
903i are essential, spreading the
special effects accurately and naturally
around the room. With their 10cm
aluminium CPC drive units, cabinet
size is kept to a minimum, allowing
discreet positioning of these speakers.
Avant 904i
An elegant, floorstanding version of the
902i, the Avant 904i is a two-way
loudspeaker designed to deliver the
extended bass that only larger
enclosures can offer. The rear-ported
cabinet ensures a fast, tight bass,
which can be further enhanced by
ballast loading.
Avant 908i
The flagship loudspeaker of the Avant
range, the 908i is a three-way design
that combines the resolution of smaller
models with power, authority and
awesome drive. The latter comes
thanks to a dedicated, side-firing 25cm
long throw woofer, housed in its own
enclosure, which is capable of
reaching 35Hz.
Avant 905i
The Avant range is equally at home
with surround sound as it is with
stereo. The new Avant 905i centre
channel is a case in point. This
dedicated centre design has been
engineered specifically to handle the
demands of movie dialogue.
Avant 906i
The sleek floorstanding 906i presents
a stunningly powerful and controlled
low frequency performance. Its 2.5
way design delivers a presentation
of impressive scale and clarity
from a generously proportioned yet
elegant cabinet.
Avant 309i
Joining the Avant 900i range is a
revised digital subwoofer – the new
309i. Delivering powerful and taught
low frequencies thanks to its aluminium
driver and digital amplification, the 309i
remains compact enough to fit
seamlessly into any listening room.
Rated at 175 watts, it incorporates an
‘Adjustable Notch Filter’ to enable more
flexible control over the 309i’s position.

Technology overview
CPC™ aluminium cone technology
CPC (Continuous Profile Cone)
technology produces predictable driver
performance by ensuring controlled
piston-like movement at low frequencies
and minimal break up at higher
frequencies. Lightweight yet rigid
anodised aluminium cones are used for
faithful dynamics. This advanced
technology, combined with our custom
designed sub cone ensures stunningly
realistic sound.
V-Form technology
An innovative driver cone connection
that creates a bigger, purer soundstage
and helps maintain assembly rigidity.
The surround thickness varies, aiding
accurate pistonic operation and allowing
the dish to operate freely, delivering
benefits in timing performance.
Aluminium tweeters
Mordaunt-Short uses an advanced
25mm aluminium dome tweeter which
the company has been perfecting for 20
years. The ultra thin diaphragm and
compression moulded surround is
mounted on a low resonance chassis.
The tweeter utilises a new high
temperature voice coil with liquid
cooling and damping to ensure
controlled high frequency performance
with excellent detail.
Components
Premium grade components including
high saturation inductors, DVPC (Dual
Value Parallel Capacitors) and oversized
resistors ensure optimal signal transfer
on the class leading crossovers.
Critically braced cabinet construction
The Avant 900i’s MDF cabinets are
critically braced to ensure a
consummate balance of damping,
isolation and rigidity.
