Description

Cool and Powerful

The Meridian 258 is our dedicated rack-mount Eight Channel Power Amplifier. This powerful, high performance, cool-running Class D amplifier is suitable for a wide range of applications. At only 1U high, the compact 258 is a category changing amplifier; bringing Meridian high resolution sound quality to every zone it powers.

Featuring a highly efficient, cool and fan less construction, the Meridian 258 provides a truly ‘fit and forget’ solution when driving multiple zones. An audiophile approach has been taken to the 258’s component selection, resulting in a level of performance typically associated with power amplifiers offered at a significantly higher price.

Key Features:

  • Delivers >100W per channel into 4 ohms or >70W per channel into 8 ohms.
  • Short signal path construction delivers excellent isolation between the 258’s eight channels.
  • Linear power supply provides isolation from the AC supply to deliver both unbeatable audio performance and reliability.
  • High efficiency (>95%) Class D amplifiers generate minimal heat, making the 258 a cool-running and stackable solution.
