Meridian DSP7000 Digital Active Loudspeaker

Meridian’s latest speakers, the DSP7000s, are breathtaking in their ability to place musicians in precise locations in your room, with even subtle body movements clearly audible. The system also has the power to bring alive the most challenging motion picture sound track or rock band.

The DSP7000 is a smaller derivative of our Stereophile Class A rated flagship, the DSP8000. Aspects like the unique cabinet construction allow the DSP7000 to handle the demanding dynamic resolution required by today's formats.

DSP loudspeaker drivers

Each DSP7000 loudspeaker uses two multiple high-efficiency long-throw custom bass drive units. The treble and mid-range drivers are mounted in a separate acoustic enclosure. The treble unit is a semi-horn-loaded composite dome design with a silver voice coil. The mid-range unit uses a custom 160mm polypropylene driver.

Power amplifiers

The speakers are driven by four independent high-power low-feedback power amplifiers.
The combination of optimised magnetic design, careful star earthing, and very fast output devices gives the amplifiers extremely low noise, high detail, and fast bass. The whole electronic assembly is powered by a substantial toroidal transformer feeding high-quality audiophile-grade capacitors.

Cabinet

Each DSP7000 loudspeaker is built within a precision manufactured cabinet, which uses innovative design techniques to give exceptionally low coloration and exquisite mid-range transparency.

The ported enclosure is fabricated from curved pressure-laminated panels, each using multiple layers of selected woods and metal to provide high stiffness and damping. Its narrow, tapered shape offers optimum dispersion across a wide listening area.

The cabinet is constructed with extensive bracing. The front incorporates a window for the matrix display and an infrared remote control sensor. The cabinet stands on triangulated adjustable machined foot assemblies with provision for floor spikes or skids.
