For years, Meridian loudspeakers have
been regarded as offering the highest
performance available – the result of
careful design, the highest-quality
drivers and components, transparent
crossovers and rigid, low-coloration
enclosures in both Active and Digital
Active designs.

Now we have paid the same level of
attention to the design of loudpeakers
for installation purposes, including
in-wall, flush-mount and on-wall
configurations. These offer full Meridian
performance for systems where the use
of floor-standing models is impossible
or inappropriate.

The 200 Series in-ceiling/wall design
and the 300 Series of wall-mounting
systems allow exceptional flexibility of
configuration. This document describes
their application as remotely-driven
active in-wall/flush-mount speakers and
the G41 Powered Crossover/Amplifier
designed to power them; passive and
on-wall configurations are also available
and are detailed separately.

The 200 Series speakers are 2-way
designs with an 8in (200mm) bass
driver and pivoting tweeter, for
surface mounting in-ceiling or in-wall
applications.

The 300 Series consists of three ultra­slimline systems for in-wall (surface
grille) and flush-mount (completely
hidden, eg behind wall coverings)
applications, featuring 6.5in (165mm)
metal-cone bass drivers, and a wide­dispersion horn-loaded ribbon tweeter
for superb performance anywhere.
Remote Active units are supplied with
the appropriate crossover card for the
G41 Active Crossover unit.

The 320 includes a single bass driver
and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in
(200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR);
and the 350 features two bass drivers
and two ABRs.

Heavy, rigid enclosures minimise wall
and cavity excitation so you hear the
speakers, and not wall resonances.

A white paintable low-resonance grille
and frame is included, and rough-in
boxes are available.

In every case, Meridian installation
loudspeakers deliver the performance
of a stand-alone design in a discreet
enclosure with minimal visual impact
– and awesome power.

On-wall, passive and DSP configurations
are also available: contact Meridian for
details.

Wall Speakers

The A200Z in-ceiling speaker is a 2­way designs with an 8in (200mm) bass
driver, pivoting tweeter and is supplied
without crossover. The unit may also
be mounted into standard 4-inch deep
stud walls and is designed to occupy
this depth. See back page for dimen-

sions.

The 300 Series consists of three sizes
of ultra-slimline wall speakers, each
offered in three mounting formats:

In-wall (surface grille) (“i” suffix);

Flush-mount (completely hidden, eg

behind wall coverings) (“f” suffix); and

On-wall applications (“w” suffix) (these
are covered in a separate document)

The 320 model only may also be ceiling­mounted.

Each unit features 6.5in (165mm) bass
drivers, and a wide-dispersion ribbon
tweeter for superb performance
anywhere. Units are supplied with a
crossover card for the G41 Powered
Crossover system.

A white custom paintable grille and a
white cloth-covered grille are included
with the in-wall products. Rough­in boxes are available for in-wall or
flush-mount applications. The flush­mount version is supplied without a
grille, facilitating custom wall surface
treatments.

The 320 includes a single bass driver
and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in
(200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator
(ABR); and the 350 features two
bass drivers and two ABRs. All three
models are available for passive (‘P’
prefix) and active operation (‘A’ prefix)
and for in-wall, flush-mount or on­wall installation. See opposite for

dimensions.

G41 & C51
Powered
Crossovers

Two drive options are available for
Meridian Remote Active loudspeak­ers, both utilising the same plug-in
crossover modules supplied with the
loudspeaker. The G41 provides eight
channels of amplification which can be
configured as four pairs of treble/bass
amplification or three pairs of treble/
bass plus two channels full-range. The
G41 has a standard Meridian G-Series
enclosure.

Additional details overleaf.

The C51 offers five pairs of treble/bass
amplification and is a member of our C
Series range of custom install products.
