The Mercury F Custom series loudspeakers utilise
materials and components carefully selected to optimise the system performance.
Dense wood material used for the cabinet
construction, including a substantial MDF front baffle, provides the essential
cabinet rigidity required of a good loudspeaker design. The bass and treble
units are solidly built providing exceptional acoustic performance and long-term reliability.
The crossover components have been upgraded,
including a high quality polypropylene capacitor used in the tweeter feed, and
the circuit topology revised to deliver greater high frequency detail, better
imaging and more control at the bottom end.
Tannoy DMT™ (Differential Material Technology) - the
interface between drive unit and the cabinet structure is crucial and this
area is given special attention in the F1 and F4 Custom models. Bracing
materials of different acoustic properties are used to dampen the driver to
the internal bracing and then to the enclosure body itself; resulting in an
exceptionally well damped structure that minimises the effect of unwanted resonances.
Wiring – the internal wiring has been replaced with
high purity Van den Hul silver plated cable for lower energy loss and greater transparency.
Termination panel – the termination panel has been
upgraded with high quality gold plated brass terminals to optimise the signal
transfer with minimum information loss.
The bass performance is rich and powerful while the
mid and high frequency presentation is accurate, clear and dynamic. This
natural sounding acoustic balance allows Mercury to reveal all the scale and
impact of original soundtracks, this as well as delivering
the subtle nuances of complex audio recordings. One listen and you'll know
precisely what we're talking about
