Introduction

The Mercury V4 is an impressive floor standing loudspeaker capable of huge scale dynamics and highly detailed top end articulation. Featuring two potent 165mm (6.5") mid/bass drivers, the V4 is a high-impact design delivering an authoritative performance with power and passion.

The new ultra light Mercury mid/bass cones give the V4 a speed and delicacy rarely found in budget floor-standing designs while comprehensive upgrades from previous Mercury generations ensures the V4 leads the field. Revised cabinet bracing, silver plated wiring and enhanced Differential Material Technology (DMT) damping on the HF capacitors lead to a greater refinement across the audio-band and an even more involving performance.

The new Mercury V soft dome tweeter is common to the entire Mercury V range for seamless consistency and all round integration in multi-channel systems. Engineered to tolerances generally found on much more costly loudspeaker designs, the new tweeter gives the V4 remarkable top end extension and a natural, spacious sound.

High output levels and an easy to drive load make the Mercury V4 suitable for a wide range of home entertainment amplifiers and applications. At the front of a multi-channel home theatre system the V4’s deliver adrenaline fuelled movie action like no other loudspeaker at the price. Yet the Mercury V4 is also an exceptional two channel stereo system for larger rooms, where its authority of presentation is complimented by the detail and accuracy of the mid range and high frequencies.

Features

Rigid braced cabinet.
Revised internal bracing and chambering on the new Mercury V has delivered a solid and compact cabinet with very low box colouration. Built from wood pulp and high density fibre loaded board, each cabinet benefits from low frequency port-tuning allowing Mercury V to punch out dynamic bass rhythms like a much larger loudspeaker.

New drivers
Mercury V features substantially upgraded drivers over previous Mercury ranges with a new ultra-light bass/mid driver cone and a high specification soft-dome teeter assembly. Mercury V delivers fast, dynamic bass with a detailed and fluid high frequency performance. High power handling ensures they can be driven hard with movies and music, yet remained subtle and refined at everyday listening levels.

Crossover with Differential Materials Technology™
The new, more refined Mercury V crossover benefits from Tannoy’s patented Differential Materials Technology (DMT)™. The innovative compound is used to mount the crossover’s high frequency capacitors, improving damping and delivering smoother and more accurate reproduction through the upper ranges.

High purity silver-plated wiring
Unheard of in a budget loudspeaker design, Tannoy’s engineers found that this high quality silver plated oxygen-free copper cable really allowed the Mercury V range to 'breathe’. The result is a more articulate and detailed sound with resolution of fine detail and micro dynamics on par with speakers costing much more.

Mounting flexibility
The Mercury V range (except V4) can be easily wall mounted for convenience and a discreet look in the home. Each unit is fitted with two screw-sockets, securely fastened into the cabinet body for use with a wide range of third-part loudspeaker brackets. In addition to theses mounting sockets the dedicated wall-mount Mercury VR rear speaker comes with twin key-hole mounts for simple and cost-effect screw or bolt fixing flush to the wall.

Great looks
In response to the demand for products designed to enhance home decor, Mercury V is the best looking Mercury loudspeaker range to date. The clean lines, brushed aluminium trim, subtle branding and choice of sugar maple or dark walnut finish ensure Mercury V speakers look as good as they sound in any home.
