About your Meridian DSP loudspeakers

These instructions provide information about unpacking, connecting up,

conﬁ guring, and using your Meridian 3100 DSP loudspeakers. They apply to the

DSP3100 left and right loudspeakers, and the DSP3100HC horizontal centre

loudspeaker.

Introduction

Meridian DSP loudspeakers represent the fruits of more than 25 years of continuous

development of loudspeakers as musical instruments. The ﬁ nest materials and state-

of-the-art design are combined to create what we believe is the ultimate range of

home loudspeakers.

Digital Signal Processing

Digital Signal Processing, or DSP, is a technique pioneered by Meridian in hi-ﬁ

products for achieving extremely accurate reproduction of audio signals using high-

precision mathematical processing.

DSP allows sophisticated processing to be performed without any of the cumulative

noise or degradation that inevitably occurs, even with high-quality analogue

circuitry. In addition, the signal improvement techniques incorporated in the

Meridian DSP loudspeakers would be virtually impossible to implement in the

analogue domain.

If you are using the Meridian DSP loudspeakers with a digital source, such as CD or

DVD, the signals remain in digital form until the last possible stage.

Power ampliﬁ ers

The speakers are driven by multiple independent high-power, low-feedback power

ampliﬁ ers. The combination of idealised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and

very fast output devices gives the ampliﬁ ers extremely low noise, high detail, and

fast bass.

The whole electronic assembly is supplied from substantial toroidal transformers

feeding high-quality, audiophile-grade capacitors.

Meridian Comms

Meridian DSP loudspeakers are part of the Meridian family of advanced digital,

analogue, and video components, and these incorporate a sophisticated

communications link, 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.
