Meridian D2500
The Meridian D2500 is big brother to the D1500 - the worlds First Digital Active
Subwoofer. This 200-Watt design uses dual 250mm drivers to provide more of
the same extreme deep, clear and controlled bass that the D1500 is known for.
It too employs 96kHz/ 24bit digital to analogue conversion and accepts digital
inputs up to 96kHz including those carrying MHR signals.
Separate analogue and digital power supplies are used to feed the D2500’s
precision electronic circuits ensuring that both high and low power sections
receive continually smooth supply.
Fully shielded for use close to monitors and televisions Meridian subwoofers are
constructed from 22mm MDF and are fully braced and damped. They are then
finished with a 6mm annealed plate glass top and are supplied with feet and
castors so as they can be installed on any floor type.
The input and output connectors on the back panel of the D2500 allow it to be
easily daisy chained should you require multiple subwoofers. It also features
Meridian Comms connections so as when installed in a Meridian Digital Theatre it
works seamlessly with other Meridian products.
Meridian subwoofers come supplied with an SY5-lead to make Meridian Comms
connection easier.
