Special Edition DSP7200SE-HC/VC Active Loudspeaker Horizontal channel – Single (Black).

Sale!

The Special Edition DSP7200HC is Meridian’s dedicated horizontal centre-channel loudspeaker, hand-built in the UK to deliver dialogue, vocals, and centre-stage content with the same scale and tonal accuracy as the flagship DSP7200 and DSP8000 XE it is designed to accompany. Finished in piano lacquer black, this four-driver, three-way active loudspeaker houses 600W of amplification, a beryllium dome tweeter with silver voice-coil, and Meridian’s full suite of DSP technologies within a single enclosure — eliminating the need for external amplifier racks or passive crossover networks. Meridian’s proprietary Image Elevation processing psychoacoustically lifts the perceived sound image from beneath the screen to screen height, locking dialogue to on-screen action so the centre channel is heard exactly where the viewer expects it. Whether mounted below a large-screen display or placed behind an acoustically transparent projection screen, the DSP7200HC SE transforms a surround installation from merely impressive into genuinely immersive — a distinction that defines Meridian’s approach to home cinema.

Key Features

  • Four-driver, three-way active design with 600W total amplification — four dedicated 150W amplifiers individually drive two 200mm long-throw bass units, a 160mm polypropylene mid-range, and a 25mm beryllium dome tweeter with silver voice-coil, delivering 118dB peak SPL at 1 metre with distortion typically below 0.02% at any frequency or level.
  • Beryllium dome tweeter in short-horn configuration — Meridian’s precision-machined beryllium piston reproduces frequencies beyond 32kHz with exceptional transient speed, resolving the fine detail in dialogue and vocals that lesser centre channels obscure.
  • Meridian Image Elevation — a psychoacoustic processing technology unique to Meridian that raises the perceived origin of centre-channel sound to screen height, anchoring dialogue and effects to the on-screen action even when the loudspeaker is physically mounted below the display. Adjustable across three levels of elevation intensity.
  • Full Frequency Alignment (FFA) — Meridian’s proprietary phase-correction processing compensates for the increased group delay inherent in lower frequencies, ensuring every part of the audio spectrum arrives at the listener’s ear simultaneously for a sweeter, more natural presentation.
  • Bespoke Signal Mapping — Meridian’s digitally tailored crossover filters are designed specifically for the DSP7200HC’s unique driver configuration, optimising the handoff between bass, mid-range, and tweeter in ways that generic analogue crossovers cannot replicate.
  • E3 Bass and Pro-Active driver protection — E3 Bass extends and enhances low-frequency response down to 30Hz from a horizontal enclosure, while Pro-Active Bass and Pro-Active Thermal continuously monitor driver excursion and temperature to safeguard performance during sustained high-output cinema playback.
  • SpeakerLink and coaxial digital inputs — accepts 24-bit audio at up to 96kHz via Meridian SpeakerLink (RJ45) or RCA coaxial SPDIF, with both inputs switchable from the system controller, allowing the loudspeaker to serve as part of a Meridian surround system or accept a local source directly.
  • Ideal partner for DSP7200 and DSP8000 XE systems — voiced and engineered to match the tonal character of Meridian’s Special Edition and Reference series loudspeakers, ensuring seamless front-stage continuity in multi-channel cinema and music installations.
  • Piano lacquer black finish — a deep, hand-polished black cabinet that commands presence in dedicated cinema rooms and dark-themed interiors while complementing the aesthetic of Meridian’s wider loudspeaker range.
