MERIDIAN AUDIO CREATES LIMITED EDITION
M80 COMPACT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR
THE SAVOY HOTEL
Meridian Audio, Britain’s leading specialist manufacturer of high-end audio
and video entertainment equipment, has developed a Limited Edition of the
recently launched Meridian M80 compact entertainment system exclusively
for The Savoy in London.
Guests in 55 of the newly-refurbished suites, which re-open on 10th October
2010 following the £220 million restoration of The Savoy, will be entertained
by beautiful room-filling sound courtesy of the exquisitely-sculpted M80 which
features a high gloss black finish, manufactured solely for the world-famous
property.
Hand-assembled in Meridian’s Cambridgeshire-based production facility, the
stylish M80 offers an unrivalled listening experience, and further develops the
elegant design and state-of-the-art engineering which made its predecessor,
the highly acclaimed F80, one of the company’s best-selling models.
The M80’s discreet, yet stylish cabinet, houses a powerful 80-watt 2.1 Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) stereo system with a rear-mounted subwoofer, slot-

loading CD/DVD drive, and AM/FM/DAB Digital Radio, as well as multiple
analogue and digital inputs that combine to deliver both a versatile and
powerful audio package.
Furthermore, Meridian’s advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capability,
coupled with location compensation controls, ensure the same superior
acoustic performance at any volume, regardless of the size of the suite and
where the M80 is placed within it. Visitors can equally use the compact
system to listen to any track stored on their iPod® thanks to the
complementary Meridian i80 dock, offering The Savoy’s customers the
opportunity to realise the full potential of their digital music library in the
hotel’s breathtaking surroundings while away from home. The system also
comes complete with a slimline handheld magnetic-backed remote control for
ease of use, thereby allowing users to operate the M80 from a distance within
the room.
Commenting on the supply of Limited Edition M80 compact entertainment
systems to The Savoy, Graeme Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer for Meridian,
said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and
one of the Capital’s most iconic landmarks. The agreement reaffirms the
passion and commitment of both businesses to deliver unrivalled quality
coupled with the ultimate customer experience. In addition, the M80 provides
the ideal acoustic platform for which to entertain guests and complement the
panoramic views of the Thames enjoyed from the hotel’s suites.”
