Meridian DSP5200.2 Digital Active Active Speakers Pair
Description
DSP5200.2 is a full range floorstanding loudspeaker which adopts the same cabinet design and technology principles as the flagship DSP8000. The latest edition, our DSP5200.2, takes this technology to a new level with a series of technological innovations that deliver superior performance in many areas.
Built by hand in the UK, each Meridian DSP5200.2 Digital Active loudspeaker features the latest Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. This ingenious, yet elegant design means that the loudspeaker enclosure contains the entire system’s electronics including three custom drivers, amplifiers and advanced sound-shaping DSP computers in each cabinet.
The DSP 5200.2 can be used as a stand-alone pair or as part of a multi loudspeaker installation in applications such as a home cinema. From small sized rooms to more spacious environments, the DSP5200.2 fits in perfectly.
PERFORMANCE
A truly full range loudspeaker, the DSP5200.2 provides listeners with extraordinary power and clarity. Standard finishes are available in piano lacquered white or black and a further 270 bespoke colour finishes are available via Meridian Select. The DSP5200.2 is available as floor standing or full range horizontal centre channel options for home audio or cinema applications.

BESPOKE SIGNAL MAPPING
Meridian Bespoke Signal Mapping utilises digital signal processing to apply tailored crossover filters that are designed specifically for each configuration of drive units within a loudspeaker. -
E3 BASS
Meridian E3 Bass uses specifically designed filters to expand, extend and enhance the low-frequency response of the loudspeaker. -
FFA
FFA (Full Frequency Alignment) is a combination of digital filters and delays to correct the group-delay of a loudspeakers. It ensures that all frequencies reach the listener’s ear at the same time. -
Q-SYNC
Meridian Q-Sync deploys Meridian's multiple “First In, First Out” buffering system which minimises jitter, ensuring perfect timing and improved clarity. -
PRO-ACTIVE BASS
Meridian Pro-Active Bass protects the bass drivers from over-excursion, ensuring maximum bass output without damaging the drive units. -
PRO-ACTIVE THERMAL
Meridian Pro-Active Thermal monitors the audio being sent to the mid-range drivers and tweeters and limits the overall volume of the loudspeaker if there is a risk of the drive units getting too hot. -
TRUE TIME
True Time is Meridian's proprietary Apodising Filter that avoids pre-ringing and cleans up the effects of early filters, converting pre-echo to post-echo. -
TRUE LINK
Meridian True Link is an encryption method for transferring high-definition digital audio over SPDIF connections. It allows secure movement of digital audio whilst ensuring that the SPDIF clock signal can be transmitted with minimum degradation. -
FREE-Q
Meridian Free-Q is used to compensate for acoustic problems associated with specific loudspeaker placement conditions.
