Meridian Introduces New Compact Digital
Active Loudspeaker/Stereo Audio Controller
System

DSP3200 Digital Active Loudspeakers and Audio Core 200
Combine to form a Compact, yet Powerful and Versatile Stereo
System

Meridian Audio has announced the introduction of two new products, the

DSP3200 Compact Digital Active Loudspeaker and the Audio Core 200
Stereo Audio Controller.

The DSP3200 Digital Active Loudspeaker

These elegant loudspeakers echo the lines of Meridian’s flagship DSP8000 and
are the most compact Meridian loudspeakers designed to date.

Meridian’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies deliver powerful, room­filling sound with the performance of a conventional system many times the size.
Meridian SpeakerLink connectivity makes connecting the DSP3200 to the Audio
Core 200 quick and easy. Featuring a wide-range driver that allows the DSP
crossover frequency to be well outside the speech band, the DSP3200 delivers
an effortless sound that remains clear, open and spacious, even at high listening
levels. In addition to a perfect digital crossover system, the DSP3200’s digital
signal processing provides dynamic bass protection with accurate transients.
DSP3200 loudspeakers always deliver quality sound – at high levels and for
prolonged periods.

Meanwhile, sophisticated DSP-based loudness controls allow the DSP3200 to
provide a bigger sound that remains balanced at low listening levels.

The DSP3200 is perfectly suited to a wide range of room positions – on or in
furniture, on floor stands or on wall brackets and is offered with two high-gloss
paint finishes; high-gloss white and high-gloss black.

The Audio Core 200 Stereo Audio Controller

Perfect for bringing together all audio sources, the Audio Core 200 offers
outstanding preamplifier quality, coupled with powerful Meridian Resolution
Enhancement technologies such as an Apodising filter and upsampling for the
best sound quality.

A stereo width control optimises the stereo stage, freeing the sound from the
loudspeakers, making it even bigger and more natural. The Audio Core 200
connects easily to almost any audio source; it even includes PC audio replay via
USB. There is a Meridian SpeakerLink input for single-wire connection to a
Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System. Fully compatible with Meridian’s i80
Dock for iPod®, the Audio Core 200 will play iPod/iPhone® via Meridian DSP
Loudspeakers while it charges, and control what you hear via the front panel or
remote handset. The Audio Core 200’s intelligent front-panel controls feature
smart buttons for intuitive operation, and an auto-dimming OLED display for
maximum readability. Connecting to the DSP3200 Digital Active Loudspeakers
via SpeakerLink – a simple, single wire – the Audio Core 200 gives direct access
to powerful DSP features that provide the best sound in any environment.

Audio Core 200 is housed in a newly designed compact case and is finished as
standard in high-gloss black or high-gloss white.
