User manual MERIDIAN SW1600 DATASHEET

[. . . ] The subwoofers' digital inputs employ 96kHz/24bit digital to analogue conversion and accept inputs up to 96kHz ­ including Meridian High Resolution (MHR) signals. If you are using the subwoofers with a digital source such as CD or DVD, these inputs allow signals to remain in digital form until the last possible stage. Separate power supplies Separate analogue and digital power supplies are used to feed the subwoofer's precision electronic circuits, ensuring that both high and low power sections receive continual smooth supply. [. . . ] Accessories The use of two drivers in parallel, combined with the ultra-low output impedance of the amplifier, allows the SW5500 to deliver RMS power outputs in excess of 500W. Rigid cabinet design Each subwoofer is carefully constructed from 22mm MDF with inert basket bracing and bitumen damping to produce an ultra-rigid, damped cabinet that minimises colouration. The subwoofers are finished with 6mm annealed glass top-plates, and thick Outline Specifications SW1600 Digital inputs · 1 x S/PDIF coax input (+1 output) , 32-96kHz. · PCM using IEC958, or MHR connection support with auto-detection. veneered MDF sides are bolted to the main cabinet, resulting in extremely low levels of cabinet resonance. Applications The SW1600 and SW5500 can be used to complement Meridian DSP Loudspeakers in both stereo and surround systems. In addition, the analogue input capability makes them ideal for analogue systems too. A Meridian surround processor such as the G68 can handle several DSP loudspeakers, Control · 2 x Meridian Comms (BNC & DIN, in and out). · Variable low pass filter 40Hz-150Hz. · Absolute phase switch. The SW1600 and SW5500 are supplied with feet, spikes and castors, allowing maximum versatility of mounting and position, including built-in or cabinet installation. Included are the cables required to use the subwoofers in a Meridian system.
