Introduction
Mounting options
In addition to the main vertical speakers, designed for
use as the left/right speakers in a system, each model
includes a single horizontal centre and/or a single
vertical centre, designed for use as the centre speaker
in a surround system.
The DSP5200HC and DSP7200HC are horizontal
centre versions, designed for use either above or below
a television.
The DSP5200VC and DSP7200VC are vertical
versions designed for use as a centre speaker, and
they use fully shielded drive units so they can be placed
next to a television without interference.
Meridian High Resolution (MHR)
All Meridian DSP loudspeakers support Meridian High
Resolution (MHR), to allow you to connect to other
MHR-compliant Meridian products to take advantage
of high-rate audio sources, and provide the additional
benefits of lower jitter and improved sound quality on all
sources.
MHR is a proprietary secure encoding format that uses
encryption and anti-copy methods to provide a secure
copyright protection environment, and allow the secure
transfer of audio streams within a Meridian-only system
for playback only.
Meridian Comms
Meridian DSP loudspeakers are part of the Meridian
family of advanced digital, analogue, and video
components. These incorporate a sophisticated
communications link, called Meridian Comms, to allow
you to control any combination of units using a single
remote, and ensure that they will work together as a
fully integrated system.
The Meridian SpeakerLink connectors provide both
Meridian Comms control and two-channel balanced
digital audio in a single convenient SpeakerLink lead.
Meridian Comms also allows you to extend your hi-
fi system into two or three rooms, with the ability to
control the sources in one room from the controller in
another room.
The following page shows two recommended
configurations based on the Meridian DSP
loudspeakers to illustrate the flexibility of Meridian
components.
