Product Usage Instructions

  1. Connect one end of the iFi Mercury3.0 USB cable to the USB ‘B’
    connector on your device.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to a compatible USB port on
    your computer or audio device.
  3. Ensure a secure connection is established on both ends.
  4. For optimal audio performance, it is recommended to use the iFi
    Mercury3.0 USB cable instead of generic mass production
    cables.
  5. Avoid bending or twisting the cable excessively to prevent
    damage.
  6. If using the cable for audio purposes, ensure that the audio
    signal is routed through the appropriate channels and settings on
    your device.
  7. When not in use, store the cable in a safe and dry place to
    prevent any potential damage.
  8. If you experience any issues with the cable, refer to the
    limited warranty for information on how to obtain support or a
    possible replacement.

*Please note that the warranty period may vary depending on
local reseller laws. Refer to the warranty documentation for
specific details.

The generic mass production USB cable is not optimised for audio use, data and power cables are all bunched up together, conductor quality is sub-par, this is all surrounded by insufficient shielding. Each of these negatively impact USB signal integrity, which severely degrades sound quality.
The iFi Mercury3.0 USB cable employs heavy OFHC continuous cast copper silver matrix conductors for the best possible signal transfer. The construction is a custom minimum inductance parallel type with quadruple-shields; this protects the cable from RFI and EMI noise to provide the cleanest transfer medium possible for the USB signal.

Mercury3.0 USB cable impedance is the strictest Perfect match with the iGalvanic3.0 and iUSB3.0 micro/nano The iGalvanic3.0 fully galvanically isolates the USB3.0/2.0 signal & power. The iUSB3.0 micro/nano boast a Super-Regulator not only with super low-noise (0.5µV), but also super low output impedance (around 0.00015 Ohm at 1kHz, as low as 0.00003 Ohm at 100Hz to DC) to maximise the total USB connection.
