DSP8000 XE is the first product to emerge from Meridian’s groundbreaking Extreme Engineering Programme; a result of years of investment and research at the extreme edge of audio design and built upon the fundamental and unique elements of Meridian’s approach to delivering authentic, natural and lifelike sound. A new design concept, Meridian’s Precision Sonic Transport, uses innovative techniques and processes which ensure the entire journey taken by an audio signal through a product maintains maximum sonic fidelity, so that the listener is immersed in authentic and realistic sound. The outstanding fidelity, dynamics and sheer power of the DSP8000 XE Loudspeakers means they deliver an incredible experience in cinemas and listening rooms alike. The Meridian Select finishing option gives you the choice of blending into the room with a complementary finish or standing out with a bold, vibrant colour of your choice, finished in matte or gloss. BESPOKE SIGNAL MAPPINGMeridian Bespoke Signal Mapping utilises digital signal processing to apply tailored crossover filters that are designed specifically for each configuration of drive units within a loudspeaker. E3 BASSMeridian E3 Bass uses specifically designed filters to expand, extend and enhance the low-frequency response of the loudspeaker. FFAFFA (Full Frequency Alignment) is a combination of digital filters and delays to correct the group-delay of a loudspeakers. It ensures that all frequencies reach the listener’s ear at the same time. Q-SYNCMeridian Q-Sync deploys Meridian’s multiple “First In, First Out” buffering system which minimises jitter, ensuring perfect timing and improved clarity. PRO-ACTIVE BASSMeridian Pro-Active Bass protects the bass drivers from over-excursion, ensuring maximum bass output without damaging the drive units. PRO-ACTIVE THERMALMeridian Pro-Active Thermal monitors the audio being sent to the mid-range drivers and tweeters and limits the overall volume of the loudspeaker if there is a risk of the drive units getting too hot. TRUE TIMETrue Time is Meridian’s proprietary Apodising Filter that avoids pre-ringing and cleans up the effects of early filters, converting pre-echo to post-echo. TRUE LINKMeridian True Link is an encryption method for transferring high-definition digital audio over SPDIF connections. It allows secure movement of digital audio whilst ensuring that the SPDIF clock signal can be transmitted with minimum degradation. FREE-QMeridian Free-Q is used to compensate for acoustic problems associated with specific loudspeaker placement conditions.
