as heat in a conventional passive loudspeaker’s crossover. Not so with a Meridian system. Here, the power amplifiers and loudspeaker drivers are in the self-same cabinet, along with all the components that are usually separate boxes in a conventional system. Invisible to the eye, the digital input signal is enhanced by powerful Digital Signal Processing (DSP) computers that work out exactly what each speaker unit needs to operate with the highest quality and with optimum efficiency.

The signal then passes to a special high- resolution Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) unique to each driver, for maximum quality. The resulting audio goes to the loudspeaker unit’s own power amplifier, mounted inches away from the driver itself. That closeness means not only efficiency, but much better control: we can ensure that the loudspeaker most accurately represents the subtle nuances of the sound.
