[. . . ] Digital Signal Processing Active Loudspeaker System DSP7200 Product Information 3½-way DSP active loudspeaker Self-contained audio system, each speaker has four custom drivers, four amplifiers, four digital converters, digital crossovers and advanced sound-shaping DSP technology Unique SpeakerLink digital audio and control I/O interface via RJ45 Curved cabinet featuring advanced laminated damping technology Black and silver piano lacquer finishes; other colours to order Controlled by Meridian System Remote Plus (supplied) Listener control over features including volume, bass, treble tilt, listening axis, time-compensated balance and absolute phase Removable rear access panel for hidden cable entry The concept of the Digital Active DSP Loudspeaker, invented by Meridian over 15 years ago, is today well-proven as by far the most musically and dynamically accurate and effective way to approach sound reproduction. Meridian's DSP7200 takes this technology to a new high. The DSP7200 features the latest internal electronics and software along with specialised drive units and power amplifiers. [. . . ] The DSP7200 also benefits from original research at Meridian into digital filtering, featuring a special new upsampling filter with especially impressive characteristics and no pre-echo. The filter is so effective that it can correct problems further up the chain including fixing faults in the original recording. The result: conventional 44. 1/48 kHzsampledCDsandDVDssound astonishingly like high resolution recordings!The DSP7200 accepts a digital feed directly fromaMeridianpreamp, CD, DVDplayeror system controller, accommodating bitstreams up to 96/24, eliminating analogue speaker cabling and its associated losses, coloration, and clutter ­ while SpeakerLink allows it to be driven by a single CAT5 cable. A DSP loudspeaker brings unique opportunities for optimization of driver/ amplifier/enclosure systems, while giving listeners unprecedented control over music andcinemasoundplayback. Whether in a two-channel system or as part of a multichannel home-theatre array, the DSP7200 provides precision command of frequency balance, listening axis and timecompensated balance and master volume ­ all implemented utterly transparently. The DSP7200's four internal 150-watt amplifiers are balanced-input, high-current designsemployedintheflagshipDSP8000, with heatsinking on the extruded back panel. Two amps drive a pair of refined 8-inch, longthrow bass units with a new basket design, separately housed in their own optimised enclosure in the base of the speaker system. Meanwhile the 6-inch midrange unit is the samedriverusedintheflagshipDSP8000, employing a cone made from a uniquely light and stiff combination of polymers to give unparalleled transparency. This and the 1-inch composite-dome tweeter, (the latter deployed with Meridian's `short-horn' loading), are each driven by their own amplifiers and operate from a second, completely separate enclosure atop the bass/electronics module. The cabinet is crafted from Meridian's innovative, multi-layered `sandwich' of selected woods and metal, formed in curved, pressure-laminated panels that produce almost perfectly vibration- and resonancefree enclosures, for unmatched freedom from coloration. The exteriors of these unique cabinets are painstakingly finished in Meridian's trademark gloss graphite, black or silver colours, with the full range of Meridian Select colours available to order.
