Background

The M60 is the best analogue active loudspeaker Meridian makes, marking the culmination of twenty years experience in the field. Their superior approach to the design of high-fidelity loudspeaker systems has been a speciality of Meridian throughout the lifetime of the company.

Meridian M60

The Meridian M60 is part of the current line of Meridian Active loudspeakers. Essentially a DSP5000 without digital features, M60 is perfect for those who listen primarily to analogue sources.

The M60 is a three-way design sharing the same tweeter as the DSP6000 and DSP5000 loudspeakers. It has three 75W amplifiers and analogue crossovers.

M60s integrate with any high-quality music system and of course are ideally suited to other Meridian products and Multiroom installations. It makes an excellent partner to the 501 Control Unit, from which its volume can be controlled remotely.
