Our Newest Innovation - WideSphere™
The heart of the WideSphere™ system is the new and unique tweeter QTF 40, used in the Milan and Veneto series, with its inverted titanium dome and high performance neodymium ring magnet. An extraordinarily wide radiation angle, an extremely low resonance frequency and tremendous power handling combined with outstanding linearity are the result of intensive research, computer simulations and decade­long experience with ultra light titanium as source material for tweeter domes. The use of new materials coupled with exhaustive engineer­ing and tuning time leads to a specially defined connection of cap and surround calculated to the closest tolerances and a result far ahead of our competition. The spaciousness, precision and power handling all contribute to the new tweeter’s superb tonal balance in both on-axis and off-axis installations. Simply put, this is the most versatile high performance tweeter ever built.
Ti-Dome
MB Quart utilizes its exclusive “Ti-Dome” titanium dome tweeter in the Alexxa and Heidelberg series. MB Quart established this tweeter over the last ten years as the ultimate “hand crafted” dome configuration.

TELEVISION MIRRORS
A television with a disappearing act?
A TV Mirror is a mirror with an LCD TV conveniently built into it. What appears to be a finely crafted, distortion free mirror becomes your window to entertainment & morning news broadcasts. The MB Quart TV Mirror, crafted in the “German En­gineering” style,can be easily accommodated for even the most challenging installations. The ease of installation makes the TV Mirror ideal for hotel rooms, bars, restaurants, bathrooms, living rooms, lobbies, salons, spas and even elevators.
Revolutionary Technology
MB Quart TV Mirrors exhibit true “plug and play” technology, and are ready for use on the day of purchase. All of our products come guaranteed with a one year warranty, backed by MB Quart’s international accreditation. Featuring break­through mirror technology, our premier one-way glass and high-index mirror provide a natural reflection of color, matching a traditional mirror’s reflection capabilities. As the brightest mirror/television combination on the market today, MB Quart’s TV Mirror offers the clearest and most vivid color with glass tech­nology that permits increased light transmission from the LCD HD television
through the mirror; the perfect platform for viewing high-resolu­tion programming.
Advantages or the 1-inch LCD HDTV
MB Quart Entertainment has revolutionized the industry with its introduction of the 1-inch LCD television, making the TV Mirror truly a “plug and play” unit. We have learned, with our experience with consumers, that the most cost-effective installation of a TV mirror product is a surface mount installation.
Surface Mount vs Recessed Mount
Past TV Mirror products used a standard LCD television, produced by leading television manufacturers, resulting in units with an overall depth of 4 to 5 inches. When installed, these units gave off a medicine cabinet appearance, leaving your guest no mystery as
to where the television was located. When using a standard televi­sion in a TV Mirror unit, a recessed mount has been the most popular installation. Using the 1 inch television, you need only to remove the ¾ inch dry wall, mount the bracket and plug in your TV Mirror product.
Custom and Integration Capabilities
MB Quart Entertainment’s TV Mirrors are available in all standard mir­ror sizes and are able to be cut to any specific design requirement. Your designers will be able to find the perfect fit with our LCD screens ranging in size from 7 to 65 inches. You design the space and we will incorporate the most discreet television application that is possible.
The TV Mirror can be fully integrated with cable, DVD players, gaming systems, external sound systems and AV players. The TV Mirror comes with all of the standard A/V inputs and outputs you will find on any high-end LCD television, enabling use with a variety of external sys­tems. Our TV Mirror also comes equipped with high-quality internal MB Quart speakers; external sound is optional and easily adaptable.
