A number of products from British digital audio authority Meridian are getting updates-- specifically the flagship 800 Series components and the 7200 Series loudspeakers.
The company details the updates as below:
- 808 Signature Reference CD Player: The latest revisions to the 808 CD player include the implementation of new technologies and upgraded internal components. The new 808 CD player also features a plate commemorating the 30th anniversary of the CD format and signatures from Meridian co-founders Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd.
- 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller: Among the features that Meridian has addressed with its top-of-the-line surround sound controller include options such as the ability to adjust center-channel image height in conjunction with the company’s DSP7200 floorstanding speaker.
- DSP7200 Digital Active Loudspeaker & DSP7200 HC Horizontal Center: Meridian first introduced its DSP7200 back in 2007 and now the British manufacturer implements its latest developments in DSP technologies to bolster the speakers through new music modes, as well as a psychoacoustic-based option called Center Elevation that allows for the adjustment of image height while the system is being used in its home theater processing modes.
Existing Meridian 808.3, 861v6, 818 and DSP7200 owners can also enjoy the updates through a dealer-led upgrade program-- one involving software updates and hardware improvements.
The company is yet to announce the availability and pricing of the upgrade program.
