 Montreal FSI 2008 Show
We were exhibiting at the Montreal FSI 2008... and it was another memorable show. The warm welcome we received from the press and the public was magnificient. The smiles on the visitors' faces were worth all our efforts. You will find pictures and press comments by clicking here.

You have probably noticed that we have not updated our web site for one month now. We have good reasons: we were - and still are - very busy preparing the Montreal FSI 2008 Show, we have a couple of very promising new products, and updates about our artists and Audio Zendo.
- Our price lists have been updated, reflecting the introduction of new products and, unfortunately, the new raise of the Euro (or should we say the fall of North-American currencies?).
 - Duevel has nearly finished the development of the Jupiter's successor: the Sirius.
We will of course keep you informed when we will be able to manage an audition of this flagship model.
One thing is sure: Markus Duevel has created a really beautiful omni!
After 9 years in development, Audiomat has released the much-awaited Opus 2 pre-amplifier and the Festival mono amplifier.
For those of you who remember them, the former Opus pre-amplifier and Duo stereo amplifier were already excellent performers, still much appreciated on the used market. We had discontinued them because the next generations of integrated amplifiers were globally superior, and Mutine doesn't sell classes of products, but musical results!
 Today, after the superb Opéra Référence and Récital MkII, the new Opus 2 and Festival are gorgeous candidates for the pinnacle of the best electronics.
 Five years...
It took all this time - and all our patience! - for Mosquito to absorb Vecteur... and release their award-winning products in new versions!
 The new Ai6, with its dual-mono construction, its beautifully casted aluminum frame, and its massive power supply, offers a new level of value for money.
The power rating has been augmented to 2x 150 watts on 8 ohms, and 2x 300 watts on 4 ohms, the packed product weights 68 lb!
 The Ai4 is now Vecteur's affordable entry-level integrated amplifier. The power rating has been augmented to 2x 100 watts on 8 ohms, 2x 150 watts on 4 ohms.
 The Cdi4 is now Vecteur's affordable entry-level integrated CD player.
 Based on all the lessons learned with the smaller amplifiers, CEC has designed the AMP6300. 2x 190 watts in class A, a very reliable layout, large heatsink and power supply, thermal control, this beast should deliver!
 Wes has finished the creation of the second auditorium in his Zendo in Edmonton, Alberta.
The mood of this room reflects our philosophy: relaxed, peaceful and inviting.

 - Mutine will present at the FSI 2008 in Montreal (April 3-6) the omni-directional speakers made by Duevel in Germany. The selected models are the Planets, the Venus and the Bella Luna Diamante. For those who know the virtues of omni-directional speakers, we don't need to explain the advantages of this approach. For the others... welcome to the FSI 2008 for a mind-opening audition!
These loudspeakers are in permanent demonstration in the Mutine Audio Zendo.
- Update of the Audio Zendo brochure.

December 7, 2007
 - Addition of the Audiomat Opéra Référence review by Paul Candy of 6moons.com in the Reviews page.
The Opéra Référence has received the Blue Moon Award for "Musical Insight & Emotional Involvement in the tube integrated category".
 The reviewer will purchase it as soon as he can, like other respected reviewers before him (Bruce Kennett of former Listener Magazine has purchased the Opéra Référence after years of pleasure with his Prélude Référence, and Neil Walker of EnjoyTheMusic has purchased the Prélude Référence after years of pleasure with his Arpège).
What can we add?

December 1st, 2007
 - A new brand is a rare event at Mutine!
We are happy to welcome in Canada Duevel and their omni-directional loudspeakers, the Planets, Venus and Bella Luna Diamante. Omnis are not new to us, having played with four brands during twelve years... until twenty years ago. We know that this sonic presentation is a like-dislike affair... but Markus Duevel has managed to push the concept to its best potential!
The absence of a sweet spot is very relaxing, and the most appropriate description of the Duevel sound is: visceral and... addictive.
Read the appreciations from the press in the Reviews page, then contact Mutine or the nearest Audio Zendo for an unforgettable listening session!
