Meridian Adds Digital Active Subwoofer to
Loudspeaker Line Up – DSW

First Meridian Subwoofer to Include a Full Suite of
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Technologies

Designed to support a wide range of Meridian DSP Loudspeakers in a variety of
applications for two-channel and surround systems, Meridian’s new DSW subwoofer is
optimized for both music and for Meridian Digital Theatre. The introduction of this
completely new loudspeaker brings with it the connectivity benefits of Meridian’s
SpeakerLink, making it quicker and easier to integrate a subwoofer into any Meridian
system. It also brings a range of performance enhancing features that are only possible in
a in a true DSP Loudspeaker.

Key Points for Editors

 DSW is Meridian’s first true Digital Signal Processing subwoofer. DSP and active

technologies deliver powerful, authentic bass with room-filling performance to
enhance both music and movie soundtracks.

 Creative industrial design fuses the requirements for a powerful 12” driver and a

substantially-built enclosure with a space conscious appearance, producing clever
curves that repeat those found throughout the Meridian DSP Loudspeaker range.

 Meridian SpeakerLink connectivity makes DSW quick and easy to install and simple

to connect with Meridian Surround Controllers, Audio Core 200, and other DSP
Loudspeakers.

 Meridian SpeakerLink also means that DSW can be configured from an attached

Surround Controller or Audio Core 200: this in turn means DSW doesn’t require its

own control interface, making it easier to configure than conventional subwoofers.

 Designed to complement the bass response of Meridian DSP Loudspeakers, DSW

is a flexible, simple and effective system addition that can add power and depth to
music and movie systems alike.

 Meridian’s DSP technology monitors signal, volume level, and temperatures to

provide advanced bass and thermal protection, ensuring that DSW can be played
louder and for longer, without the fear of driver damage or a breakdown in
performance

 A discreetly located connector panel ensures that all cable connections including

power are easily made without disturbing DSW’s clean curved lines.

In summary, the new Meridian DSW Digital Active Subwoofer offers superb flexibility and
can be used in a wide variety of applications; as an subwoofer in surround sound or
Meridian Digital Theatre system; singly to add power and depth to the bass performance of
a two-channel DSP system; or with multiple DSW subwoofers in a larger system for the
ultimate subwoofer experience.
