Although Meridian is today best-known for
its award-winning digital loudspeakers and
processors, it is a company that has grown from
analogue roots, and indeed, superb analogue
circuit design and implementation are important
parts of all Meridian products.
The G Series power ampli ers offer the ideal
way to interface G Series components to con-
ventional loudspeakers made by other manufac-
turers. They include the latest power amp devel-
opments from Meridian, utilised in their agship
DSP8000 digital loudspeaker systems, and share
many common design parameters. In all cases,
pairs of channels can be bridged for additional
output and exibility, and the ampli ers in the
range are gain-matched to further add to the
possibilities when building a system.
