Meridian Audio launches The All New DSP9 Loudspeaker - A Masterpiece of Design and Engineering. Revealed at High End Munich, this ‘Undeniably Meridian’ loudspeaker signifies a new dawn for Meridian.

Marking a new chapter for Meridian, the British Audio Technology Pioneer has unveiled the DSP9 Digital Active Loudspeaker, a masterpiece of product design and audio engineering, technology and performance. The loudspeaker features a brand-new and iconic cabinet aesthetic that showcases a new design signature for the company, and produces outstanding fidelity, dynamics and power for cinemas and listening rooms.

The DSP9 introduces a beautiful new look for Meridian loudspeakers. The company has pushed the boundaries of cabinet design and construction with this product, using the geometry of the ellipse to create a visually stunning aesthetic from every angle that also offers acoustic benefits.

Advanced engineering was used to create the striking sculptured exterior lines and the sophisticated three-dimensional spaces within the cabinet to enhance performance. The curvature of the exterior also minimises unwanted diffraction of the sound produced by the drive units.

With Meridian’s expertise in psychoacoustics and deep experience in Digital Signal Processing, the DSP9 boasts a suite of Meridian proprietary technologies, which are designed to ensure the loudspeaker delivers an exceptional listening experience in all environments.

“The DSP9 loudspeaker is undeniably Meridian, It is a powerhouse of performance that delivers goosebump moments thanks to incredible dynamics, full frequency response and massive power handling. It is also aesthetically stunning, introducing a brand-new iconic design - the beauty is in its simplicity.”

Natalie Reynolds, Product Manager at Meridian

The DSP9 further offers easy setup and control via the Meridian B-Link Bluetooth device, IR, USB, RS232, or with a Meridian Controller product. An IA21 analogue input module changes the functionality of the DSP9 so it can be fed from any non-Meridian product or system which features a balanced or unbalanced line-level analogue output.

Meridian’s Select finishing service allows the loudspeaker to either blend into the room with a complementary finish or to stand out with a bold, vibrant colour, finished in matte or gloss.
