Meridian Product Brochure: Surround MERIDIAN 568 AND 561 SURROUND CONTROLLERS Meridian is a world leader in superb-sounding Digital Signal Processing. Our pedigree goes back to the earliest days of digital audio and includes many ‘firsts’ like the first DSP Loudspeaker, first DSP Preamplifier and first fully DSP Surround Sound Processor. From its introduction in July 1994, the Meridian 565 DSP Surround Processor became widely recognized as the benchmark processor – voted Class ‘A’ by Stereophile. Among a total of 25 awards, the 565 was voted ‘Home Theatre Decoder of the Year’ by Home Entertainment in both 1995 and 1996, and it received the prestigious EISA award for ‘Home Theatre Decoder of the Year’. The award winning DSP software has now been improved for use in two new DSP Surround Controllers: the 568 and 561, redefining the expectations for movie sound and creating a paradigm shift for music. Designed to work with the Meridian 562V.2 Digital Control Unit this combination has outstanding ability to handle audio and video formats, and represents a major step forward in flexibility and performance. |

568 Digital Surround Processor The 568 incorporates many of the techniques and features that Meridian developed in the design of the 561 and the AAA-rated 861 surround processors. These include PC setup for ease of installation, digital buffering for outstanding audio quality and compatibility with new digital formats. Left, Centre and Right analogue outputs are available in both unbalanced and balanced formats with all channels utilizing 24-bit 96kHz technology. Digital outputs, for Meridian DSP Loudspeakers, are enhanced with Meridian High Resolution (MHR) to enable secure digital transmission with the lowest possible jitter. Input jitter is virtually eliminated through the use of a buffer stage that breaks the link between input and output timing. The 568 alone forms the heart of an outstanding music and film system. With the addition of the 562V.2 (see page 18) the system becomes a tour-de-force of home theatre power. 568 Specifications Controls: Source, Store, Preset, Mute, Display, Volume, Off. Audio inputs: 2 analogue, 4 coax digital, 1 EIAJ optical. 32–96kHz. (More inputs with 562V.2). Audio outputs: 8 individually configurable digital and analogue channels (using on-board 24-bit converters) – LCR Balanced. Processing: Dolby AC-3, DTS, MPEG, Pro Logic, THX Cinema, Ambisonic, Trifield and Meridian Music modes. Display: Twelve-character alphanumeric and on screen graphic display for video via composite or S-Video.

561 Digital Surround Controller 561 Surround Controller The 561 combines controller functions with those of a surround processor, bringing many of the features of a 568 + 562V.2 combination to one box. 561 provides extensive audio and video inputs and outputs, including an analogue tape loop and support for the Meridian 2- Room system. The 561 allows you to take control of your system: you can switch audio, video, adjust input level, create 16 User Presets with your own labels. It also features excellent on-screen display and extensive on-screen help for setup and calibration. The 561 uses the same powerful DSP processors and algorithms as the highly acclaimed 568. 561 Specifications Audio inputs: 7 analogue adjustable, 1 digital optical, 5 digital coaxial IEC1937, IEC958. Audio outputs: 6 analogue, 8 digital, 2 analogue tape with independent copy. Video inputs: 4 Composite, 4 S-Video. Video outputs: Composite and S-Video for both monitor and VCR. S to
Composite conversion. On screen display. Second room capability.

MERIDIAN AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM WITH 568 AND 562V.2 568 Surround Processor with 562V.2 Control Unit This is designed as a two box system with the 568 taking up the prime role as a surround sound processor and 562V.2 as audio and video switcher. Together, these products provide a powerful solution to the most demanding of home theatre needs for both music and film. Taking much of its design from the award winning surround systems of 561 and 861 the 568/562V.2 combination is packed with technology and features. This combination provides for up to twelve sources with connections for eight analogue, eleven digital, six composite and four S-Video inputs. When combined with the flexibility of PC setup, and additional features like control triggers, the 568/562V.2 system is a joy to use. |
