maximises performance

For years, Meridian loudspeakers have

been regarded as offering the highest

performance available – the result of

careful design, the highest-quality

drivers and components, transparent

crossovers and rigid, low-coloration

enclosures in both Active and Digital

Active designs.

Now we have paid the same level of

attention to the design of loudpeakers

for installation purposes, including

in-wall, flush-mount and on-wall

configurations. These offer full Meridian

performance for systems where the use

of floor-standing models is impossible

or inappropriate.

The 200 Series in-ceiling/wall design

and the 300 Series of wall-mounting

systems allow exceptional flexibility of

configuration. This document describes

their application as remotely-driven

active in-wall/flush-mount speakers and

the G41 Powered Crossover/Amplifier

designed to power them; passive and

on-wall configurations are also available

and are detailed separately.

The 200 Series speakers are 2-way

designs with an 8in (200mm) bass

driver and pivoting tweeter, for

surface mounting in-ceiling or in-wall

applications.

The 300 Series consists of three ultra-

slimline systems for in-wall (surface

grille) and flush-mount (completely

hidden, eg behind wall coverings)

applications, featuring 6.5in (165mm)

metal-cone bass drivers, and a wide-

dispersion horn-loaded ribbon tweeter

for superb performance anywhere.

Remote Active units are supplied with

the appropriate crossover card for the

G41 Active Crossover unit.

The 320 includes a single bass driver

and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in

(200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR);

and the 350 features two bass drivers

and two ABRs.

Heavy, rigid enclosures minimise wall

and cavity excitation so you hear the

speakers, and not wall resonances.

A white paintable low-resonance grille

and frame is included, and rough-in

boxes are available.

In every case, Meridian installation

loudspeakers deliver the performance

of a stand-alone design in a discreet

enclosure with minimal visual impact

– and awesome power.

On-wall, passive and DSP configurations

are also available: contact Meridian for

details.

Amplification G41 Powered Crossover/Amplifier recommended

Crossover cards designed for the G41 Powered Crossover/Amplifier

(see below) are supplied with each loudspeaker. These

feature premium quality Burr-Brown operational

amplifiers and four-layer printed circuit boards.

The G41 powers 200 and 300 Series

installation loudspeakers in Remote

Active mode. It features active crossovers,

switched balanced and unbalanced

inputs, and employs the same low-

feedback topology as Meridian’s

G55/56/57 amplifiers, which was

developed from that used in the flagship

DSP8000K.

Eight channels of approximately100W/8Ω

(180W/4Ω) RMS amplification are

provided, grouped into four pairs, each

providing bass and tweeter outputs from

a full-range input.

The fourth channel pair can also be

configured as two full-range amplifiers

for driving a pair of passive loudspeakers,

eg for surrounds. To do this, the right-

hand modular crossover card is removed

and replaced by one providing additional

full-range unbalanced inputs.

Replacement labels identify the

reconfigured output terminals (see rear

panel illustration below).

The crossover modules take the form of

cards which can be inserted at the time

of installation to configure the unit for

the speakers in use, and an appropriate

card is supplied with each loudspeaker.

Modules are available for the 320, 330

and 350, and each module includes a

pair of LEDs that confirm the positive

and negative power-rails are operative

and identifies the crossover installed by

means of the colour combination. 200

Series units can use the crossover or can

be driven in passive configuration with

the fourth amplifier pair configured for

two channels of full-range operation.

Thermal, short-circuit and DC fault

protection circuitry is included. The G41

has soft start, fan output and trigger

input.

A unique feature of the G41 is a cable-

length compensation switch. The

amplifiers have a negative impedance to

cancel out cable effects. This dramatically

improves performance, tightening the

bass response and giving significantly

improved control and punch. Two switch-

selectable settings are provided, one

for cables under 10m and the other for

cables over 10m in length. A separate

rear-panel switch is provided for each

pair of amplifiers.
