Meridian’s acclaimed active and DSP-
based loudspeakers are unparalleled
in the industry. Each unit includes not
only carefully-chosen loudspeaker
drivers and excellent cabinet design
and acoustics, but also multiple power
amplifiers and – in the case of DSP
designs – D/A converters and the DSP
power required to create crossovers,
filters and control systems that
would be completely impossible in a
conventional speaker configuration.
The DSP loudspeaker is the ultimate
expression of Meridian’s loudspeaker
philosophy. DSP capability delivers
crossover specifications that cannot
be matched by conventional designs
and bass extension vastly superior to
other loudspeakers of the same volume,
while keeping the signal in the digital
domain until the last moment means
that there is an unbroken link between
the recording studio or concert hall and
your listening room. Thus, they sound
unlike anything else you’ll hear.
Meridian active loudspeakers give each
driver its own amplifier, in direct and
close control of all its parameters, fed
from a line-level crossover for superior
performance.
The DSP3100 and its active analogue
equivalent, the M3100, represent a
breakthrough in compact loudspeakers.
Available in vertical or horizontal
centre configuration, they deliver an
astonishing performance for their size,
and are ideal for stereo or surround
listening in smaller spaces. Their
accuracy and uncoloured sound also
makes them ideal for monitoring in
recording and mastering studios.
The 3100 is
available with
satin silver or black
with piano-lacquer
wood accents,
and in vertical
