Applications
The SW1600 and SW5500 can be used to complement Meridian DSP Loudspeakers in both stereo and surround systems. In addition, the analogue input capability makes them ideal for analogue systems too.
A Meridian surround processor such as the G68 can handle several DSP loudspeakers, and the SW5500 is ideal as a mono subwoofer for a Meridian Digital Theatre system, in particular to give exciting cinema effects and added realism in DVD movies.
The recommended configuration for music is to provide two subwoofers, one for each of the main left and right channels, for a superb stereo image. The SW1600 is ideal for this application.
In a large system, multiple subwoofers can be employed to provide even more impressive effects.
Accessories
The SW1600 and SW5500 are supplied with feet, spikes and castors, allowing maximum versatility of mounting and position, including
