Acoustic and Visual Masterpiece
DSP9 is the latest 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. The unique and fundamental Programme has been built around Meridian’s approach to delivering authentic, natural and lifelike sound and results in a level of performance never previously achieved on a loudspeaker of this size.
Advanced engineering was used to create the striking sculptured exterior lines and sophisticated three-dimensional spaces within the cabinet to enhance its performance. The DSP9 also features Meridian’s Precision Sonic Transport which uses innovative techniques and processes to 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.
Finishes
With the "Select" finishing option you can choose whether to blend the loudspeakers into the room with a complementary colour, or to make a statement with something bold and vibrant. In addition, you can refine your choice by selecting between matte, satin, or gloss finishes.
Pricing of the pair of speakers in the standard black or white finish is £60,000
Pricing of the pair of speakers in a "Select" finish is £65,000
BESPOKE SIGNAL MAPPING
Meridian Bespoke Signal Mapping delivers an optimal response from multi-way loudspeakers, ensuring that all drive units complement one another, providing a consistent response at all frequencies.
E3 BASS (EXPAND, EXTEND, ENHANCE)
Meridian E3 bass uses specifically designed filters to expand, extend and enhance the low-frequency response of the loudspeaker.
FFA (FULL FREQUENCY ALIGNMENT)
FFA is a combination of digital filters and delays to correct the group-delay of a loudspeaker. It ensures that all frequencies reach the listeners ear at the same time.
Q-SYNC
Meridian Q-Sync deploys Meridian's multiple “First In, First Out” buffering system which minimises jitter, ensuring perfect timing and improved clarity.
PRO-ACTIVE BASS
Meridian Pro-active Bass protects the bass drivers from over-excursion, ensuring maximum bass output without damaging the drive units.
PRO-ACTIVE THERMAL
Meridian 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 TIME
True 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 LINK
Meridian 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-Q
Meridian Free-Q is used to compensate for acoustic problems associated with specific loudspeaker placement conditions.
