Thank you for choosing the Artison Mezzanine 8 Surrounds. We are pleased that
you have selected our high-performance audio products.
INTRODUCTION
The Artison Mezzanine 8 Surround delivers a state-of-the-art architectural loudspeaker
with high performance dynamics, imaging and stealth integration.
This is the first
surround from Artison to utilize our A.I.R. (Architectural Integration Reference) design.
The A.I.R. features magnetic grille attachment, micro-perforated grilles and a micro bezel.
The Artison Mezzanine 8 Surrounds are designed to complement the Artison LCR DM
MK2 Series and the Artison Studio SoundBar Series.
The Mezzanine 8 Surround employs a Hybrid Acoustic Design that offers both the
steering ability of a monopole and the spacious immersive sound field of a dipole. The
crossover network was designed so that all frequencies below 3 kHz are reproduced by
the monopole woofers, while all information above 3 kHz is reproduced by the dipole
tweeter array. This design allows the fundamental and first harmonic of the surround
channel information to be directional and help to steer the experience through the theater
environment, while the high frequency sounds create a large diffuse ambient sound field
to fully encompass the listening environment.
The Mezzanine 8 Surround also has additional grille options to customize the in room
aesthetic. An optional Square grille accessory is available for either in ceiling or in wall
applications.
