INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team of
design engineers. They are the choice of discriminating music lovers the world over. Musical
excellence is designed into our loudspeakers from the start. Careful selection of the very best
components combined with strict quality control procedures in the production process ensures
this level of excellence is maintained. To gain maximum performance and for safety reasons,
please take time to read this installation guide in full before fitting.
The Mercury ceiling loudspeakers use a high quality coaxial bass driver and tweeter
configuration. This gives an even spread of sound as you move away from the central axis,
maintaining the uniformity of the frequency response.
Loudspeakers are electromechanical devices that 'run-in' through use; performance will
therefore improve after an initial period of 24 hrs use. Once they have been further run-in
over a longer period, there will be clear enhancement of imaging, mid-band quality and bass
performance characteristics.
We are confident that you will continue to enjoy your new Tannoy Mercury ceiling loudspeakers
for many years to come.

thin coats of paint to give a better finish than one overly thick coat.
