Introduction to Meridian

Meridian Audio, founded in 1977 in the U.K., has earned a prestigious reputation in the audio industry. Meridian invented the world’s first active loudspeaker for the home—the M1 Loudspeaker—and is still pushing the boundaries. In 2021, it became the first high-performance audio brand to integrate with Works with Sonos systems, and in 2022, Meridian released its High Power Array (HPA) processing technology to minimize interference or variation between loudspeakers.  

Key Speaker Models

Meridian offers a range of speaker models tailored to suit various surround sound setups and preferences. Let's take a closer look at some of their notable digital speakers:

Flagship DSP8000

The flagship of the Meridian line, the DSP8000 is a towering masterpiece of audio engineering. With a sleek, contemporary design, it houses advanced DSP technology and multiple drivers to reproduce sound with astonishing clarity and depth.

Reference DSP7200

A slightly more compact option, the DSP7200 is a powerhouse that doesn't compromise on sound quality. Its elegant design conceals high-performance components, making it ideal for medium to large home theater rooms.

Reference DSP5200

If space is a concern, the DSP5200 offers a compact footprint without sacrificing audio excellence. It's perfect for smaller home theater setups where space efficiency is crucial.

Performance In-Wall DSP520.2 

Looking for something more discreet? The DSP520.2 delivers powerful audio through an in-wall loudspeaker that blends into your theater’s interior. It includes the Meridian E3 Bass to enhance low-frequency responses while protecting the speaker from over-exertion. 

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

One of Meridian's defining features is its extensive use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). DSP technology allows for precise control over every aspect of sound reproduction. Meridian's engineers meticulously craft each speaker's digital crossover, ensuring seamless integration of drivers and accurate sound reproduction. This level of precision extends to room correction, where DSP helps adapt the sound to the unique acoustics of your home theater space. 

The result? Audio that's not just loud but incredibly clear, balanced, and immersive.

Active vs. Passive Speakers

Meridian takes a unique approach by primarily offering active loudspeakers. Unlike passive speakers that require external amplification, active speakers have built-in amplifiers and digital signal processing. This means that every speaker component is optimized to work together seamlessly. 

Sound Quality

Meridian loudspeakers are engineered to reproduce audio with exceptional precision, faithfully capturing the artist's intent. With an emphasis on clear vocals, rich instrumentals, and deep bass, Meridian speakers immerse you in your favorite movies and music like never before. Their DSP technology plays a pivotal role in creating a soundstage that's wide, detailed, and incredibly lifelike.
