At the same time, Meridian have introduced a new installation accessory, the AC11, that allows earlier Meridian components, including processors, disc players, and digital loudspeakers, to integrate with the new SpeakerLink system.
SpeakerLink employs cost-effective and universally available RJ-45 Ethernet-style twisted-pair network cabling to make all digital audio, communications, and control interconnections between Meridian components. With SpeakerLink, a single, easily concealed wire is the only connection required to connect Meridian’s DSP loudspeakers with the company’s audio processors or audio-video sources.
“SpeakerLink is at once both simpler and higher in performance, which makes it a perfect statement of all things Meridian,” says Bob Stuart, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Technology Officer of Meridian Audio Limited. “The AC11 makes integrating legacy models seamless,” Stuart continues, “while the changeover of the DSP8000 signals our unreserved commitment to this superior new technology. Meridian remains at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions for our dealers while delivering, as always, the very best performance.”
AC11 Component Interlink will be available January 2009 with a suggested retail price of $995
