Mordaunt-Short
Overview
After graduating from the University of Southampton, I joined Mordaunt-Short and Epos Acoustics in 1992 as a Loudspeaker Design Engineer. Mordaunt-Short was bought by TGI PLC in 1987 which already owned Tannoy and Goodmans Loudspeakers Limited (GLL), forming the largest loudspeaker manufacturing company in Europe.
I learnt the practical skills of loudspeaker design from Robin Marshall who had founded Epos Acoustics in 1983 and went on to sell the company to TGI and become the Technical Director for Mordaunt-Short and Epos Acoustics.
As part of a small engineering team, the drive units and systems for the Music Series and Classic Series ranges of loudspeakers were developed and launched. All of the component parts were manufactured in house.
