The Meridian 565 Digital Surround Processor is unique in being the first completely digital surround-sound processor, and it defines the standard for both music and cinema performance. To achieve this we have combined the latest techniques in high-precision analogue electronics and digital signal processing with a careful analysis of all types of recorded music. The result is a system that produces impressively realistic and exciting reproduction of music and cinema sound with support for all the current two-channel and multi-channel audio formats. These include PCM, Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, and MPEG, as well as support for several proprietary processing modes. MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) format is also available as an optional extra.
