I n t r o d u c t i o n Welcome

All the G Series products work in a similar way, and this guide gives general information about switching units on and off and selecting functions from the front panel or Meridian System Remote (MSR+). It also provides information about using specific products in the G Series, including the CD player, integrated tuner, DVD player, and digital surround controller.

For information about setting up your G Series products refer to the separate Installation Guide provided with each product.

The Meridian G Series

Taking technologies from the top-of-the-line 800 Series and adding new features and possibilities that are completely unique, Meridian’s G Series represents a pinnacle of development from the world’s premier hi-fi manufacturer.

All G Series units have the same footprint, and are built into an elegant enclosure suitable for free-standing operation. Alternatively kits are available for rack mounting. All units can be supplied either in traditional Meridian black or in a sleek silver finish.

G Series units are easy to use. The units all feature a similar user interface, based around an easy to read fluorescent display. The positive-action front-panel keys are software-defined, their current function shown in the display. Where appropriate, G Series units also feature a rotary volume control.

The G Series is accompanied by a comprehensive multifunction MSR+ remote control with automatic backlighting. In addition to the ability to control all Meridian components, the remote can be programmed to control virtually any other remote-controlled device, via its learning capability or its extensive on-board command library.

Full configuration of many G Series components may be achieved by running a special set-up program on a Windows computer, connected to the G Series unit via a serial link.

Construction

Inside, the Meridian G Series is as advanced as its appearance suggests. G Series components incorporate the latest technologies and techniques, and many unique features. Many components feature a combination of functionality. For example, an AM/FM or DAB/FM tuner is included in selected models. Many G Series components are upgradeable with new firmware and hardware as new developments are made and new industry standards emerge.

The G Series range

The Meridian G Series range includes CD and DVD-Audio/Video players, controllers, processors, and power amplifiers. Some units include comprehensive video processing and the latest interfacing – such as high-resolution HDMI connectors – and some incorporate the ability to transfer full-resolution, high-sample-rate digital signals from player, to processor, to digital loudspeaker via Meridian’s unique MHR SmartLink. Often, components are available with either digital or analogue outputs, and while G Series components are a perfect match for our range of DSP loudspeaker products, they can also be used with conventional passive loudspeakers, driven by the G Series stereo and multichannel power amplifiers.

Highest possible audio quality

The G Series continues the Meridian tradition of the highest possible audio quality, implemented via a combination of the latest and most sophisticated digital and analogue circuitry, and with a distinctive appearance that looks just as good as it sounds.
