FITTING OF ACCESSORIES
Check the following accessories are present in the carton, according to model:
• 7.1: Foam port bung x 1, self-adhesive feet x 4
• 7.2: Foam port bung x 1, self-adhesive feet x 4
• 7.4: Foam port bung x 2, plinth sections x 2, plinth mounting screws x 4,
carpet spikes x 4, locking nuts x 4, spike locating cups x 4
• 7C: Self-adhesive feet x 4
7.1, 7.2 & 7C SELF ADHESIVE FEET
The supplied self-adhesive feet may be fitted to the underside of the loudspeaker to prevent slipping and avoid
damage to surfaces.
7.1, 7.2 & 7.4 FOAM PORT BUNG FITMENT
If the loudspeaker is positioned closer than the recommended 0.5 m (20 inches) distance from the rear wall,
excessive bass reinforcement can sometimes occur. This can be counteracted by placing the foam bungs supplied
in the rearward firing port. In the case of the 7.4, which has 2 rear ports, a further degree of tuning is possible by
using either one or both foam bungs. The 7C model is largely insensitive to boundary reinforcement issues such
as this, due to the bass management provided within the AV receiver.
7.4 FLOOR STANDING MODELS
The Mercury floor standing model performs best with the plinth and carpet piercing spikes fitted, giving optimum
stability and sound quality. First fit the plinth sections to the underside of the loudspeaker with the 4 screws
provided, taking care not to over tighten. The spikes provided, along with lock nuts, should be inserted into the
threaded holes in the underside of the plinth. Level the speaker and then tighten the lock nuts firmly but without
using undue force. Spike locating cups are provided in the accessory pack and these may be used to protect
sensitive floor surfaces. (See fig. 1)
WARNING:
Ensure that the spikes are levelled and that the lock nuts are tightened firmly. The spikes should be pushed
through the carpet to locate into the flooring surface by applying pressure to the top of the cabinet. If using on
a sensitive floor surface place the protective cups under the levelled spikes. Failure to do so could render the
speaker unsteady and result in damage or injury should it be knocked over.
STAND MOUNTING MODELS
Stand mounting or bookshelf speakers should be located securely on stands or a shelf in an appropriate position to
place the tweeter roughly at ear height when seated in the chosen listening position. Positioning recommendations for
stand mounted speakers can be found under the section entitled Positioning and Fine-Tuning.
The Mercury 7.1 may also be wall mounted with a suitable bracket, using two inserts on the rear of the loudspeaker,
with standard 60mm spacing. The thread in the inserts is M5. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the
chosen bracket is used within its load rating, and the bracket is securely mounted to the wall with suitable hardware.
INSTALLATION
To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting any cables. Before switching on double check that all connections are secure and that polarity
is correct.
