The DSW.2 is Meridian’s freestanding digital active subwoofer, designed to anchor any Meridian loudspeaker system with deep, controlled bass that is shaped by DSP — not brute force alone. Its downward-firing 12-inch long-throw driver and 600W Class-D amplifier are housed within a uniquely tapered piano black enclosure engineered to eliminate cabinet vibration at the source, allowing the driver to reproduce low frequencies with the speed and accuracy that Meridian demands across its entire loudspeaker range. Whether paired with the compact DSP3200 in a two-channel setup or deployed within a full surround-sound installation alongside the DSP750 or DSP730, the DSW.2 integrates via Meridian’s SpeakerLink digital connection — keeping bass management, crossover, and gain within the same DSP-controlled signal path that sets Meridian apart from conventional subwoofer designs.

Key Features
12-inch long-throw driver with massive motor system — fires downward through a precision-tuned cabinet, coupling with the floor to deliver deep, room-filling bass while the tapered enclosure above remains inert and vibration-free.
600W Class-D amplification — capable of exceeding 600W RMS on music and movie transients, providing the headroom to reproduce explosive dynamic peaks without compression or distortion.
Music and Movie modes — Music mode extends bass response down to 10Hz with faster transient performance for critical listening; Movie mode prioritises higher output levels with response to 30Hz, optimised for the sustained low-frequency content in cinema soundtracks.
Meridian E3 Bass and Resonance Control — E3 Bass uses Meridian-designed filters to expand and extend low-frequency output beyond what the enclosure size would suggest, while Resonance Control compensates for primary room modes that are exacerbated by downward-firing driver placement.
Full Frequency Alignment (FFA) — Meridian’s proprietary phase-correction processing ensures the subwoofer’s output arrives at the listener’s ear in perfect time alignment with the paired loudspeakers, preserving transient definition and stereo imaging.
Pro-Active Bass driver protection — continuously monitors driver excursion in real time, ensuring maximum bass output without risk of over-excursion damage during sustained high-level playback.
Meridian SpeakerLink digital connection — receives 24-bit audio at up to 96kHz over a single Cat-5 cable, maintaining the all-digital signal path from source to driver and enabling simple daisy-chain integration with other Meridian loudspeakers.
Digital channel selector (1, 1+2, or 2) — assigns the subwoofer to left, right, or combined bass duties, allowing precise configuration in stereo pairs, mono LFE roles, or dedicated per-channel bass reinforcement in surround installations.
Discreet, sculptural piano black enclosure — the tapered cabinet narrows toward the top to reduce visual impact, with all SpeakerLink and mains connections routed from the underside for a clean, cable-free appearance that blends seamlessly into darker interior schemes and dedicated home cinema environments.
