Technical Specification
Performance: Frequency response in-room within 3dB from 35Hz to over
20kHz.
Output >108dB spl @ 1m on music material.
Noise less than 15dB spl.
Overall distortion typically <0.02% at any frequency or level.
Inputs: Two digital inputs to SPDIF standard; 32kHz-“96kHz sampling
rates at up to 24 bit; MHR support. (A future software update
will enable support for 192kHz.)
Construction: 2.5-way acoustic reflex system.
2 x 160mm polypropylene high-efficiency long-throw custom
drivers.
1 x 25mm aluminium-dome tweeter, silver wire, short horn-
loaded with protective grille.
Cabinet constructed from high-density MDF. Integral magnetic
shielding and user-changeable real wood veneer acoustic
damping side panels.
FIFO memory buffer input for the lowest possible jitter from
almost any source.
Two precision 128x oversampling converters for bass, mid
and tweeter signals.
Analogue gain and filtering using proprietary Meridian Class-A
discrete amplification.
Digital and conversion electronics constructed using
advanced surface-mount techniques and partitioned 4-layer
printed-circuit boards.
Three 75W power amplifiers, one for each of the drivers.
Power amplifiers use a unique feedback topology and
precision local error-correction systems to achieve a
performance equivalent to the conversion system.
Dimensions: 195mm (7.7in) H, 670 (26.38) W, 275 (10.83) D
Weight 32kg (71lb) each
DSP: 100MHz Motorola digital signal processor.
Digital crossover at 2.6kHz.
Response correction for the whole system.
Bass protection.
User tone controls.
Volume and phase control.
Controls: Rear-panel controls for power On/Off.
MSR and RS232 port provide control over bass, treble tilt,
listening axis, volume, time-compensated balance and
absolute phase.
Front display: Eight-character display with system lights, can be blank.
