The Reference series represents the pinnacle of what Meridian has achieved in their respective formats.

Built by hand in the UK, all Meridian loudspeakers feature Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. This ingenious, yet elegant design means that the loudspeaker enclosure contains the entire system’s electronics including its amplification. In common with all other Meridian loudspeakers, the models in the Reference series support a suite of Meridian’s unique technologies.

  • Advanced, high-efficiency composite dome tweeter.
  • Outstanding performance – three powerful, built in 75W amplifiers with DSP provide a maximum output level of 116dB at 1m.
  • DSP active advantage – self-contained audio system with no amplification equipment needed.
  • Centre elevation adjustment technology raises the voice to the screen centre, ideal when the HC loudspeaker is positioned below the screen.
  • Listener controls including time compensated balance, listening axis and Enhanced Bass Alignment – enables considerable speaker placement flexibility.
  • On-board DSP provides thermal and dynamic bass protection – enables high volume use for prolonged periods of time.
  • Multiple installation applications in home and commercial environments enabled by Meridian’s unique Design and Specification Service.
  • Features Meridian’s unique Enhanced Bass Alignment (EBA) technology - bass, mid and treble all reach you at the same time, in perfect alignment.
