The line includes power amplifiers, surround processors and all the building-blocks of a powerful system for custom installation applications. All are fitted with rack-mounting ears and are equipped with remote control capability where appropriate.
The elegant matte-black rack-mount enclosures include a removable, transparent front panel inset which can be removed for access.
The Meridian C50 is a ten-channel power amplifier designed for installation applica- tions. It features an innovative new Class D amplifier design which produces mini- mal heat, even at high power outputs, as well as delivering extremely high audio quality.
The amplifier design offers a very low out- put impedance and a load-independent frequency response that is flat up to 20kHz and falls off slowly above that. THD and noise are extremely low and effec- tively independent of frequency.
The C50 features an unbalanced input on gold-plated phono connector, and a balanced input via XLR3-F connector, for each channel plus a pair of gold-plated terminals per channel. Each channel will deliver 100 watts into 8 ohms or 160W into 4 ohms.
A temperature-controlled fan output is provided to operate 12v fan systems. An industry standard trigger input is also pro- vided, suitable for AC or DC operation in the range 5–30V.
Behind the transparent smoked front- panel inset, blue LEDs indicate power and per-channel operation.
Where higher levels of power output are required, a similar 5-channel unit is also available, the C59, offering per-channel power outputs of 200W into 8Ω or 360W into 4Ω.
