Transform Your Home Theater with Meridian Audio

Recently we wrote on these pages about Meridian Audio and the unique digital processing technology they apply to their electronics and speakers. The company’s long history in digital has contributed to standards such as the DVD-Audio disc and Dolby TrueHD, and more recently they were the driving force behind MQA, the emerging standard for distributing lossless, high-resolution audio over the internet.

While their unparalleled digital audio chops are well known in hi-fi audio circles, you might not think of Meridian when it comes to home theater audio. However, they bring their digital audio processing magic to home theaters as well. In an all-Meridian system, the speakers are self-powered and the audio travels to them in digital form, keeping the signal pure until it gets converted to analog sound at the speaker.

In whole home and many home theater installations, clients want in-wall speakers for an integrated look that doesn’t upset the décor. You might be wondering if something like a powered, digital in-wall speaker is possible – it is. Meridian has developed two new in-wall digital speakers, the DSP520 and the DSP640, to make sleek hi-fi and home theater applications a reality with their unique high-resolution audio processing.

As powered in-wall speakers clearly have some differences from conventional powered speakers, Meridian has taken an extra step to ensure that their products deliver the ultimate in audio performance. They have a free design service for custom integrators like Lelch Audio-Video to make it easy to incorporate Meridian technology for home theaters and whole home installations. So if you want the powerful, detailed high-resolution audio quality of Meridian in your Woodbury home, now you can have it in your home cinema and throughout the house.

DSP IN-WALL SPEAKERS

Meridian’s in-wall speakers are designed to bring the same elevated sound to architectural applications. For home cinema, they can output up to 117db, well beyond the minimum for reference level sound even in large theater spaces. Two other unique Meridian technologies make these speakers sound incredibly lifelike.

Enhanced Bass Alignment (EBA) uses Meridian’s precise digital control to ensure that bass notes arrive at the same time as higher frequencies, much like in real life with a musical instrument. The result is more realistic sound and is a unique solution to an eternal challenge in speaker design. Center Elevation adds height to dialog and center channel sound to better align with the screen, offering a more natural cinema audio experience.

MERIDIAN DIGITAL COMPONENTS

Powering the core of a Meridian home theater is the 861V8 Reference Surround Controller. Since Meridian speakers are active and powered, the 861V8 does not have amplifiers, although Meridian makes those to integrate passive speakers with their systems. The 861V8 can upsample standard resolution audio sources to high resolution, allowing you to get an even fuller sound out of your existing music and movie collection.

Given the company’s expertise in digital sound processing, naturally Meridian has its own room correction software, tuned to work with the unique characteristics of their speakers to deliver the best possible audio quality in a home theater installation.

MERIDIAN DESIGN SERVICES

Given the unique features and design of their product line, Meridian has developed free Design and Specification Service to make it easier for integrators to put together complete systems for clients. What does that mean for you? Lelch Audio-Video can work directly with Meridian to map precise locations and all the infrastructure necessary to build a Meridian home theatre or multi-room audio system in your home. This includes incorporating other equipment like projectors and acoustic treatment to ensure that you enjoy the ultimate audio and video experience.
