Acoustics
The cabinet and drivers owe much to the DSP33s active cousin, the M33, of which Corey Greenburg said
The first thing I noticed about the M33s was their startlingly clear and detailed midrange
The cabinet is manufactured from precision cast and extruded aluminium. This has incredibly low levels of
low frequency cabinet resonance. Additional high frequency damping gives the whole system
exceptionally little cabinet colouration, for excellent mid-range transparency.
The bass drive units are two parallel 5" woofers with cast alloy chassis and carbon fibre cones. They
have very large shielded magnets which provide excellent drive and control. The tweeter is a very high
quality 1 aluminium dome with a Neodymium magnet and a protective grille. It is extremely well matched
to the woofer and also tonally very compatible with the other speakers in the Meridian range.
Applications
The DSP33 is designed to be used in many different types of system. It is easy to install - for most
applications it requires no setting up beyond channel selection with the rear panel switch.
The remarkable bass extension of the DSP33 makes it a wonderful stereo system for moderate sized
rooms, or larger rooms if supplemented with D1500 or D2500 Digital subwoofers.
In conjunction with a Meridian Surround Controller, it can be used in any sized theatre - from a main
channel in a Meridian Digital Compact Theatre, to a surround speaker in a larger Meridian Digital Theatre.
It can be wall mounted using an Omnimount 75 Series bracket.
It can be used either vertically or horizontally mounted as a centre channel. If ordered as a centre, it is
supplied with a plinth, which gives rigid support and tilts the centre channel towards the listener, whether
sited above or below a television.
Other two channel applications include its use as a Digital 2nd
Zone solution, or as a high-end PC
multimedia speaker - when connected to the digital output of a soundcard, the RS232 lead supplied
allows control over all the functions of the speaker.
