The MEZZO G3 is the absolute top-of-the-range model or our semi-active 2-way horn systems. Designed for customers who cannot place the TRIO with SPACEHORN due to space limitations, but who still demand the non-plus-ultra in terms of bass performance. When designing the MEZZOG3, we were inspired by the legendary models of the last century: Altec Lansing's Voice of the Theatre A7, Tannoy's Westminster Royal SE, Elektro Voice's Sentry III and JBL's 4435. All speakers with powerful woofers combined with horns for the mid and high frequencies. A timeless, impressive concept that has lost none of its enduring fascination. We have set ourselves the task of bringing these classic concepts into the present, using our expertise and the latest technological possibilities. The original MEZZO was launched in 2006 and with virtually no technological changes - has since become our best-selling top-of-the-range model. The original design was created by Hannes Wettstein and Tobias Adami in Zurich. With the MEZZOG3, we are now launching its successor after more than 17 years. A full-range horn loudspeaker that has never been seen before in its consequence and uncompromising nature. A MEZZOG3 that pays tribute to its role models of the past and comes ever closer in sound to our actual reference "TRIO G3 with SPACEHORN". The MEZZOG3 midrange/treble unit is based on the large, low-frequency 670mm spherical wave horn from the Duo series, combined with the 200mm XT3 super-tweeter from the Trio series. The crossover has been redesigned using the new NatureCapPlusAA,, capacitor with a special high grade foil and an adapted circuit layout. With the new MEZZOG3 , the phase of the tweeter is not corrected by tilting the speaker, but by a special rotary mechanism that allows the tweeter to be moved forward or backward. At the heart of the new MEZZOG3 is a completely new bass concept. Based on the classic models of large classical cinema systems, we now use a large horn loaded bass reflex system. At the frontside, the sound is emitted via a short 0.645 square metre horn. At the back, the sound is coupled through an enlarged cabinet volume with two huge 120mm bass reflex tubes firing downwards. Instead of one large 15-inch driver, we use two much lighter 12-inch drivers. The XB12 with their 6-inch motor structure are the benchmark in terms of power to weight ratio of the moving mass. The result is a level of bass power and performance that is unrivalled by any other superspeaker system on the market. Regardless of price. Not quite as good as the TRIO with SPACEHORN - but amazingly close.
