When you switch through the polar patterns you can hear the room opening and moving. Each polar pattern is precise providing you with a truly accurate pattern. Highest-Grade Components The MERCURY is hand-built in the UK and utilises the highest-grade components most of which have less than 1 percent tolerance.
