The first step you can take in exploring the benefits of surround sound is to add a centre speaker to the left and right speakers of a conventional stereo system. An ideal choice is the Meridian M60C Active Loudspeaker, which can be connected directly to the 565.

The digital surround processor takes advantage of the additional speaker to create a more realistic and stable three-dimensional image of the original recorded sound for outstanding music and cinema reproduction.

The next step in creating a surround system for cinema and music reproduction is to add a pair of rear channel surround speakers, to provide cinema effects and add spatial information to music reproduction.

An ideal starting point is a pair of wall-mounting or bookshelf speakers powered by a Meridian 556 Stereo Power Amplifier.
