The night of 8 September marks a special event for Land Rover enthusiasts – the UK launch of the much-heralded Range Rover Evoque. Land Rover dealerships around the country, supported by their local Meridian Premium Partners, will be holding a special VIP Night invitation-only event for everyone who has purchased the stunning new Evoque – over 20,000 have been pre-ordered so far – when the Evoque will be shown to the public for the first time. This event will mark the start of long-term collaborations between Meridian Premium Partners and Land Rover showrooms.
While many of the events are centred around a Land Rover dealership, in many cases a special venue has been booked for the event, such as a museum, resort and even a vineyard – and Meridian Premium Partners are supporting the event with special displays and demonstrations featuring Meridian systems.
The following weekend, 10–11 September, sees an open weekend at Land Rover dealers, where members of the public are invited to see, experience and test-drive the Evoque and its superb Meridian sound systems.
Meridian Premium Partners are supporting these events in a number of ways, installing Meridian systems at event locations and Land Rover dealerships, supporting the demonstration of Meridian’s in-car systems, in some cases offering prize draws, and inviting Meridian customers to the launch event. Following the event, attendees interested in Meridian systems will be invited to experience a full demonstration, either at their Meridian Premium Partner or in their own home.
Below is a list of the 27 Meridian Premium Partners and 35 Land Rover dealers they are supporting with almost 40 different Meridian demonstration systems – ranging from the M80 Compact System to a full DSP8000 Loudspeaker -based Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System installation – during this exciting series of events. For more information, please contact your nearest Meridian Premium Partner.
