Meridian ISE 2017The Meridian 258 is a dedicated rack-mount 8-channel power amplifier customers can integrate with any passive loudspeaker system. The Class D amp is designed for a wide range of applications, and delivers 100W per channel into 4 Ohms. The other amplifier seen at the show is the Meridian 857, a 2-channel amp able to deliver 500W per channel into 4 Ohms. Bridgeable to 1.5kW, it is available as a dedicated rack-mount variant with a new design, and is designed to work with any audio product.

The final product seen at ISE 2017 is the Meridian 218 Zone Controller-- a Sooloos/MAQ-enabled controller suitable for a wide range of distributed audio applications, from single zone to multi-zone use. Contol options include IP and IR, and it is easily integrated with 3rd party control systems. The controller is 1U high, and can be rack, shelf or wall mounted.

The show will also have Meridian promote its updated Design and Specification Service, a scheme helping dealers integrate its products into home theatre designs. Dealers can send the company a plan of the room or home where they are installing the system, and Meridian will return a schematic detailing speaker, audio panel, projector and screen positions optimised for the best experience.
