IP/IR control features are included enabling easy partnering between the versatile unit and any Meridian power amplifier or DSP loudspeaker.

    Sooloos

    Sooloos is Meridian's patented intuitive visual music management interface. It offers a simple solution for storing your CD collection, uploading digital music library or streaming music using TIDAL, all in flawless, hi-res audio quality. Meridian Sooloos can be controlled from anywhere on your network; simply setup for one or multiple zones on a range of devices including Mac, PC, mobile or tablet for one-touch access.

    Lip-Sync

    Video processing typically delays the picture. As sound travels slower than light, the effect of the sound arriving before the picture is highly noticeable. For installations where the audio and video are separated before video processing, the Meridian 218 has adjustable audio delay to realign the audio with the video.

    Apodising Filter

    Filters are critical in digital audio. Commonly they introduce distortion and harshness because of "pre-ringing". Early digital recordings suffer from harshness too, due to primitive filters. After painstaking research, Meridian developed a special filter that avoids pre-ringing, so it can be steeper, cleaning up the effects of early filters. The result is a better, cleaner sound from recordings old and new.

    Master Quality

    MQA is a technology that captures the full magic of an original studio performance. Using pioneering scientific research into how people hear, MQA delivers master quality audio in a file that’s small enough to stream or download so you don't have to choose between quality or convenience.

    Upsampling

    Using a complex digital filter, Meridian 218 can double the sample rate from a source to improve resolution of the finer details in the record. This means that even with a standard source such as CD, upsampling technology is able to significantly enhance the listening experience.
