The two channel amplifier includes the latest power amp developments from Meridian, utilised in the flagship DSP8000 digital loud- speaker systems.

The amplifiers feature active bias control throughout, with thermal sensing that carefully manages the temperature and current flow at different volume levels. Fully DC-coupled, the signal path contains no capacitors, while those in the power supplies are audiophile grade components.

The amplifiers are of a unique low-feedback design for minimum transient and interface in- termodulation distortion, offering superb clarity and transparency right across the audible range, with an output impedance that is close to zero and delivers a solid 100W continuous mean

power per channel into 8Ω suitable for virtually any high-quality passive loudspeaker system.

The amplifier, when in standby mode, maintains a standing voltage on the power rails, reducing the time taken for optimum performance to be delivered after power-up from tens of minutes to virtually instantaneous.

Two sets of outputs per channel are provided on sturdy binding posts colour-coded for easy refer- ence. The output terminals are connected to the amplifiers by Van den Hul silver-strand cable to avoid signal losses.

In addition to the main outputs, a stereo head- phone socket is provided on the rear panel for personal listening, A ‘speaker off’ facility is also included.
