Meridian Audio and LG Electronics announce ‘Audio Tuned with Meridian’

We are pleased to announce the latest development in our partnership with LG as they launch the new V40 ThinQ smartphone, the first mobile phone to be Audio tuned with Meridian.

As the pioneers of high-resolution audio it is our mission to drive the industry forward and bring better sounding music to more consumers across the world. The development of the new LG V40 ThinQ smartphone takes us one step closer to achieving this goal.

LG has always prioritised high fidelity audio in its smartphones and the LG V40 ThinQ is no exception being the first LG phone to carry the Audio tuned with Meridian label. The 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC produces a balanced sound signature that comes extremely close to the quality of an original recording. In essence this brings the voice of the caller closer to the recipient.

The Boombox Speaker, originally introduced on the LG G7 ThinQ, doubles the bass of conventional smartphone speakers by utilizing the internal space of the device as a resonance chamber. When placed on a solid surface or hollow box, the LG V40 ThinQ acts like a woofer to amplify the bass even more.

"Meridian’s desire to put the listener at the heart of every performance and transform the way people experience sound continues to inspire our research and engineering, and we are delighted that LG’s V40 ThinQ is the very first smartphone to offer better sound to more people through ‘Audio tuned with Meridian’. This is an exciting step in Meridian’s relationship with LG and looking ahead we are confident that our expertise and shared values will see us bring a great number of innovations to the market together."
