Power amplifiers

The speakers are driven by two high-power low-feedback power amplifiers. The combination of idealised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and very fast output devices give the amplifiers extremely low noise, high detail, and fast bass.

The whole electronic assembly is supplied from a substantial torroidal transformer feeding high-quality audiophile-grade capacitors.

Cabinet

Each DSP33 loudspeaker is built around a precision manufactured aluminium cabinet. The rigidity of this material, combined with the built-in structural elements, gives incredibly low levels of cabinet resonance, which is further reduced by additional damping. This results in a cabinet of exceptionally low colouration, giving the loudspeaker amazing mid-range transparency.

Mounting options

The DSP33 is designed to be used either vertically or horizontally mounted and uses fully shielded drive units so that it can be placed above or below a television without interference. If ordered as a centre it is supplied with a plinth, which can be used to give rigid support and tilt the centre channel towards the listener.

Meridian High Resolution (MHR)

The DSP33 Digital Loudspeaker System supports Meridian High Resolution (MHR), to allow you to connect to other MHR- compliant Meridian products to take advantage of high-rate audio sources, and provide the additional benefits of lower jitter and improved sound quality on all sources.

MHR is a proprietary secure encoding format that uses encryption and anti-copy methods to provide a secure copyright protection environment, and allow the secure transfer of audio streams within a Meridian-only system for playback only.
