508 Compact Disc Player

The 508 Compact Disc Player is an integrated CD transport and

converter, providing both digital and analogue outputs.

The 508 Compact Disc Player is ideally suited for use with a pair

of Meridian 505 Mono Power Amplifiers and A500

Loudspeakers, with control over the volume and source

selection provided by the 502 Analogue Controller. These units

provide balanced inputs and outputs, allowing a completely

balanced system to be created.

The 500 Compact Disc Transport provides a precision digital

output, and can drive DSP5000 Digital Loudspeakers directly.

A 562 Digital Control Unit can be added to cater for conventional

analogue sources, and provide source selection between up to

12 different analogue or digital sources.

The 504 FM Tuner is an ideal addition to the system if radio

reception is required.
