    Quality has been Tannoy's prime consideration


    throughout the Company's 60 years of manufacturing
    audio eguipment. It is this dedication to excellence
    which continues to keep the name of Tannoy at the
    forefront of all aspects of music reproduction.
    Musicians rely on Tannoy loudspeakers for sound
    reinforcement just as studio engineers rely on them
    for accurate monitoring.
    The final link in the music chain, home high
    fidelity, is equally demanding and critical, and the
    quality of today's digital and analogue playback
    systems will only be appreciated fully if used with
    loudspeakers capable of honestly revealing the
    recorded programme material.
    Tannoy's acoustic engineers have met this
    demand with the Planet Series of loudspeakers. One
    of the planets is the Mercury - introduced in 1982,
    it quickly became Tannoy's bestBelling small
    "Best
    loudspeaker and was awarded the
    Buy" status
    from Hi-Fi Choice magazine in 1983, 1984 and 1985
    - no mernfeat!
    However, as soon as any product is released,
    research must begrn on its eventual successor and
    there is no denying that the more successful the
    Mercury became, the better its replacement had to
    be. Tannoy believe that they have now found this
    replacement and that it is superior to even the
    Mercury Mk I. It is with great pleasure, therefore,
    that they launch the Mercury Mk II which offers the

    following improvements on its predecessor:


    o The cabinet has a neurower front profile and is
    braced at antinodal points to minimise cabinet
    colouration. A new more absorbant material is used
    to fully line the cabinet.
    o The crossover is hard wired using low loss
    components and heavy duty terminals which will
    accept 4mm banana plugs and the majority of
    specialist high quality audio cables.
    o The mid,/bass unit is more robust with a
    new construction technigue for the cone apex
    configuration giving better mid range performance.
    o A new roll surround material on the bass unit
    and lower cabinet tuning combine to give tighter
    more detailed bass reproduction.
    o The ferrofluid cooled polyamide dome high
    frequency unit, designed and manufactured by
    Tannoy, uses an asymetrical mounting plate with
    sculptured surface and has a very smooth response
    and improved dispersion.
    The result is a loudspeaker with a more detailed,
    dynamic sound, tighter bass and smoother overall
    frequency response.
    The Mercury Mk II is available
    in either a walnut or black ash
    effect. Visit your nearest Thnnoy

    Mk II's outstanding natural

    * The peak power capability of all Tannoy loudspeakers will allow higher
    amplification powers to be used with wide dynamic range material. Care must
    be taken, however, to avoid conditions such as switch on surges and amplifier
    'clipping'
    overloading or
    which may result in momentary peaks of power greatly
    in excess of the specified ratings.
