Featuring a downward firing woofer, this design tapers at the top reducing the visual impact on its surroundings. All of the connecting cables, SpeakerLink and Power, attach discretely at the bottom of the cabinet, allowing for discreet installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eThe DSW provides deep and impactful bass that will perfectly play its part in a two-channel or complete surround-sound set-up made up of any of our Digital Active DSP Loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures Meridian’s unique Enhanced Bass Alignment (EBA) technology where bass, mid and treble all reach you at the same time, in perfect alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300W amplifier with full DSP control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh power-long-throw 12in driver and amplifier combination delivers maximum performance under total DSP control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic and Movie Modes for optimal performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDSP Loudspeakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eThe traditional setup – amplifiers driving passive loudspeakers – is inefficient, limiting sound quality. Meridian loudspeakers contain a complete, matched audio system with efficient DSP crossovers, multiple DACs and driver-specific amplifiers, giving higher overall quality, less power use, and the performance of a traditional loudspeaker eight times the physical volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Bass Alignment (EBA)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eHigh or low, all sounds travel at the same speed, so all the sounds from a live musical event arrive at your ear at the same time, whatever frequencies they contain. Loudspeakers, however, have a problem when playing low frequency sounds at the same time as mid and high frequencies – the bass arrives late, and the deeper the sound, the later it arrives. This delayed bass causes music to lose its impact and reduces the sense of the recorded space – it is often described as “boomy”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eThe goal is to have time-accurate loudspeakers, where all reproduced frequencies start and end at the same time. In a loudspeaker, this timing is affected by the crossover, driver, and enclosure type. To eliminate the delay between low, and mid and high frequencies, Meridian has designed a combination of digital filters and time delays for the mid and high frequencies. This solution enables the mid and high frequencies to “wait” for the low frequencies, delivering perfectly-timed music playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eMid and high frequencies are delayed to time-align them, while upper bass is delayed with a special type of patented filter. These features must be implemented entirely in the digital domain, making them impossible to achieve in any passive or analogue-active loudspeaker design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eEnhanced Bass Alignment provides accurate time-alignment of the drivers in the system, delivering exceptional imaging and a clear, transparent, more life like sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakerLink\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eTraditional audio systems often require large, expensive cables to maintain their performance. Meridian's SpeakerLink uses an “Ethernet style” cable that delivers pristine digital sound and control down a single cable between Meridian components. The result is simple, unobtrusive, and cost-effective cables that are easy to install\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIFO Buffering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eEach sample of a digital recording must remain evenly spaced in time. Unfortunately, timing can vary, especially when reading discs. This is “jitter”, degrading music's sense of space and diminishing realism. Meridian's multiple “First In, First Out” buffering system minimises jitter, ensuring perfect timing and improved clarity. You enjoy a clearer feeling of the instruments and their interrelationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeridian Apodising Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tab-pane fade active in\"\u003eFilters are critical in digital audio. Commonly they introduce distortion and harshness because of \"pre-ringing\". Early digital recordings suffer from harshness too, due to primitive filters. After painstaking research, Meridian developed a special filter that avoids pre-ringing, so it can be steeper, cleaning up the effects of early filters. The result: a better, cleaner sound from recordings old and new.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meridian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Black","offer_id":57944973934979,"sku":"13612","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss White","offer_id":57944973967747,"sku":"14172","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/13423-2MeridianDSW2OnsideSoundcraftHiFi.jpg?v=1777555300","url":"https:\/\/www.soundcrafthifi.com\/products\/meridian-dsw-2-subwoofer","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
