Architectural Audio Without Compromise
Meridian Audio has unveiled the 2026 Editions of its DSP750 and DSP730 in-wall loudspeakers, bringing flagship-level performance to architectural installations. For those seeking the sonic excellence of reference loudspeakers without the visual presence of traditional speakers, these refined models represent a significant step forward in discreet high-end audio.
Developed through Meridian's Extreme Engineering Programme—the same initiative behind acclaimed models like the DSP8000 XE and DSP9—the 2026 Editions demonstrate that in-wall speakers needn't compromise on sound quality. At their core sits Meridian's new Atlas software platform, significantly expanding DSP capability whilst providing a foundation designed to evolve with future developments. This isn't simply incremental improvement; it's a fundamental rethinking of what architectural audio can achieve.
The engineering is comprehensive. Both models feature sealed aluminium enclosures with double-baffle construction, a design that minimises unwanted resonances and ensures consistent performance regardless of wall type or room conditions. At just 100mm mounting depth, they're remarkably shallow, offering flexibility in installation without sacrificing acoustic integrity. The magnet-attached grilles can be painted to match any décor, allowing these speakers to essentially disappear into your space.
For home cinema enthusiasts, the implementation of Meridian's Image Elevation technology addresses a long-standing challenge: maintaining proper sound localisation when speakers are positioned below the screen. This feature anchors dialogue and key sound elements to the picture, creating a more cohesive and immersive viewing experience. Combined with Image Focus +, the result is precise soundstaging that rivals dedicated home cinema speakers.
The 2026 Editions introduce Pro-TEC, a sophisticated new technology that extracts higher output levels whilst maintaining tonal balance and clarity. By intelligently monitoring and adjusting audio signals in real time, Pro-TEC protects the drive units and eliminates the compression or distortion typically heard when pushing volume to its limits. The result is reference-level performance that remains composed, even during demanding passages.
Both models incorporate fifteen of Meridian's proprietary DSP technologies, representing decades of research into digital audio processing. The DSP730 2026 Edition has already earned recognition with a TNT Award for innovation in architectural audio—testament to the sonic achievement these speakers represent.
At Martins Hi-Fi, we've spent over four decades selecting equipment that represents genuine engineering excellence. The Meridian DSP750 and DSP730 2026 Editions are precisely the kind of uncompromising solutions we stock, speakers that deliver extraordinary performance whilst meeting real-world installation requirements. Whether you're planning a dedicated home cinema or seeking to integrate high-end audio into a living space, these speakers merit serious consideration.
We invite you to visit our Norwich showroom to discuss how the Meridian 2026 Editions might suit your specific requirements. Our demonstration facilities allow you to experience exactly what these speakers can achieve, and our team can explain how they integrate with existing or planned systems. When investing at this level, there's no substitute for expert guidance and the opportunity to listen for yourself.
