Meridian Audio has launched ground-breaking new developments in Digital Active Loudspeakers with the introduction of its new flagship loudspeaker, the DSP8000 XE.
The shape of the DSP8000 XE is a completely new loudspeaker design within a silhouette that is, at once, familiar and evocative of the Meridian heritage, but also new and indicative of the significant performance improvements this new loudspeaker brings. The DSP8000 XE is built on a brand, new audio architecture, using higher specification, more powerful components and leveraging all of Meridian’s expertise in psychoacoustics to achieve exceptional sound quality that is rich in detail, clarity and realism.
The DSP8000 XE is the first Meridian loudspeaker to emerge from Meridian’s Extreme Engineering Programme which commenced more than six years ago. Informed by psychoacoustics and engineered by experts, the Extreme Engineering Programme was created to re-imagine every element of the company’s product platforms, including both software and hardware.
Key outcomes of the Extreme Engineering programme manifest in the DSP8000 XE include Meridian’s Precision Sonic Transport design concept which ensures every aspect of the audio signal journey through the loudspeaker maintains maximum sonic fidelity. Meridian’s new R1 electronics platform features a sophisticated Command board, carrying the loudspeaker’s DSP as well as the circuitry controlling all the loudspeaker’s functionality. All new drive units are implemented throughout to push performance levels to new heights. A new cabinet design ensures performance is controlled and integrated to provide seamless feedback across the entire frequency range. The active DSP design and unique audio architecture enable the DSP8000 XE to produce low frequency output performance equivalent to a passive loudspeaker inside a cabinet with eight times the internal volume. Open-source connectivity and control are also significant features of the DSP8000 XE series. Settings can be easily accessed through a Meridian controller, via a Meridian B-Link device supporting Bluetooth or IR, USB or RS232.
