WHY IS DIGITAL ACTIVE SO IMPORTANT?
Most speakers on the market are using an antiquated mix of capacitors, resistors and transformers in the form of a crossover to tell the speaker what sounds should go to which drivers. The problem with this is that the electrical properties of all these devices change based on temperature. In the digital age we live in, we have other tools available to us such as providing digital crossovers and by powering each driver with its own amplifier. The difference this makes is to provide a much more digitally accurate sound which is always more open, detailed and dynamic. Brands like Meridian also use these digital systems to digitally correct the speakers and the room.



MERIDIAN – A HISTORY OF HIGH RESOLUTION AND MQA
Meridian has always challenged convention. For more than forty years, they have pushed boundaries, disrupted norms and delivered products that have shaped our industry and redefined how people experience sound.

DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTERS
In this digital age, one of the most critical elements within circuit design is the ability to correctly decode and encode digital to analogue signals. As the industry leaders in high resolution audio, Meridian are renowned for their DACs. Meridian speakers, being digital, use multiple DACs which is a critical element of their design. For stereo use, Meridian have developed a range of DACs to solve unique situations. With the 200 series, the Meridian DACs are also high resolution MQA end points with the ability to connect additional sources such as your TV, CD Player, or for Air playing your favourite songs from your phone.
With the Ultra-Dac, Meridian created the ultimate Digital to Analogue Converted, packed full of ground-breaking technologies and world firsts.

USING A TURNTABLE IN A DIGITAL SYSTEM
As records and turntables make a return, we are often asked whether we can integrate this into a digital system. All turntables have extremely low output and require a phono preamp to deal with boosting the signal to the appropriate level with a low noise floor. At that point, it can be connected to high quality components, such as Meridian and StormAudio.
