Go Digital End-to-End

If you are not familiar with Meridian Audio in the hi-fi world, it’s a name to know. Meridian has been a pioneer in the world of digital audio since the beginning. Co-founded in 1977 by Bob Stuart, an engineer with a passion for music, Meridian has many firsts in digital audio. The company introduced the first active loudspeaker for the home in 1977 with the M1 and the first audiophile CD player in 1983.  

Since then, Meridian have contributed significantly to the advancement of digital audio across many fronts, from contributing to the Meridian Lossless Packing to the Dolby TrueHD Lossless format to the MQA format for streaming digital music.  

How is Meridian different? The company's digital prowess provides a pristine path for high-resolution, highly detailed music to flow directly to the speaker for unrivaled sound in your Los Angeles, CA, home. Learn more about how Meridian delivers a superior music experience below.

The Next Generation Loudspeaker

Meridian Audio is a different type of audio company. There are two technology sides to audio, digital and analog. By its physical nature, audio is analog, as sound is produced in sound waves that we hear. And for much of recorded audio history, sound was reproduced by analog methods, whether sourced from vinyl or tape. The CD revolutionized how audio was distributed by doing so in a digital format, and digital technology has now permeated every facet of audio.

Meridian Audio has been at the forefront of technology throughout the digital era. And one of those pioneering efforts has been in active speakers, where the speaker does not need external amplification. Meridian does this to ensure that high-resolution digital signals are not compromised by analog conversion; they go straight into the speaker itself. With Meridian's latest speaker, the DSP8000XE, they've established a new standard for speakers in the digital audio area. Read on below to see how the DSP8000XE can redefine the audio experience in your Santa Monica, CA listening room or home theater.
