Meridian Active Installation Loudspeakers

For years, Meridian loudspeakers have been regarded as offering the highest performance available – the result of careful design, the highest-quality drivers and components, transparent crossovers and rigid, low-coloration enclosures in both Active and Digital Active designs.

Now we have paid the same level of attention to the design of loudspeakers for installation purposes, including in-wall, flush-mount and on-wall configurations. These offer full Meridian performance for systems where the use of floor-standing models is impossible or preferred.

Showing the astonishing A330 (grille removed) with a G41 amplifier which can activate a surround system.

The 200 Series in-ceiling/wall design and the 300 Series of wall-mounting systems allow exceptional flexibility of configuration.

In this innovative system, the active electronics are separated from the loudspeaker transducers. G41 Active Crossover amplifier provides 8 channels of amplification, sufficient to power four active in-wall speakers or an installation of three active and two passive speakers.

The 200 Series speakers are 2-way designs with an 8in (200mm) bass driver and pivoting tweeter, for surface mounting in-ceiling or in-wall applications.

The 300 Series consists of three ultra-slimline systems for in-wall (surface grille) and flush-mount (completely hidden, eg behind wall coverings) applications, featuring 6.5in (165mm) metal-cone bass drivers, and a wide-dispersion horn-loaded ribbon tweeter for superb performance anywhere. Remote Active units are supplied with the appropriate crossover card for the G41 Active Crossover unit.

The 320 includes a single bass driver and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in (200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR); and the 350 features two bass drivers and two ABRs.

Heavy, rigid enclosures minimise wall and cavity excitation so you hear the speakers, and not wall resonances. The sound is incredibly clear and dynamic.

A white paintable low-resonance grille and frame is included, and rough-in boxes are available.

In every case, Meridian installation loudspeakers deliver the performance of a stand-alone design in a discreet enclosure with minimal visual impact – and awesome power.

The A200Z in-ceiling speaker is a 2-way design with an 8in (200mm) bass driver, pivoting tweeter and is supplied without crossover. The unit may also be mounted into standard 4-inch deep stud walls.

Wall Speakers

The 300 Series consists of three sizes of ultra-slimline wall speakers, each offered in three mounting formats:

In-wall (surface grille) (“i” suffix, e.g. A320i);

Flush-mount (completely hidden, eg behind wall coverings) (“f” suffix, e.g. A330f);

On-wall (hangs on a wall) (“w” suffix, e.g. A350w)

The 320 model may be ceiling-mounted. Each unit features 6.5in (165mm) bass drivers, and a wide-dispersion ribbon tweeter for superb performance anywhere. Units are supplied with a crossover card for the G41 Powered Crossover system.

A white custom paintable grille and a white cloth-covered grille are included with the in-wall products. Rough-in boxes are available for in-wall or flush-mount applications. The flush-mount version is supplied without a grille, facilitating custom wall surface treatments.

The 320 includes a single bass driver and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in (200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR); and the 350 features two bass drivers and two ABRs. All three models are available for passive (‘P’ prefix) and active operation (‘A’ prefix) and for in-wall, flush-mount or on-wall installation.
