Introduction
The DSP7200 cabinet is fabricated from curved
pressure-laminated panels, using multiple layers of
selected woods and metal to achieve high stiffness
and damping. Its narrow tapered shape gives optimum
dispersion over a wide listening area.
Each cabinet stands on adjustable machined feet which
can be fitted with spikes or skids.
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. If used below a screen you can
use the centre elevation feature to raise the perceived
source of the audio. As well as improving the sense of
dialogue coming from centre stage, this enhances the
integration of sounds that pan from left and right.
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 pages show two recommended
configurations based on the Meridian DSP
loudspeakers to illustrate the flexibility of Meridian
components.
Available accessories
Other applications, and some advanced features, may
require one or more of the following accessories, which
can be purchased from your Meridian dealer:
MSR+ remote.
