861v8
Reference Digital Surround Controller
Meridian has invented a number of significant
concepts in high quality home audio/video,
including the audiophile Compact Disc player,
the DSP loudspeaker and the digital surround
processor.
Meridian has established an unequalled
reputation for outstanding use of digital
audio and DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
technology in our products, giving us
unprecedented quality, flexibility and
functionality. The 861 represents the most
advanced representation of Meridian’s
ground-breaking DSP control and processing
system for high-quality audio and video
signals.
Its card-based construction allows the
unit to be configured to suit your personal
requirements – as well as helping to future-
proof the system by being able to accept new
cards with additional features as they are
developed.
The 861 features Meridian’s unique
‘apodising’ upsampling filter, which makes
standard resolution audio sources sound
like high-resolution. It also includes Meridian
Room Correction, an innovative, semi-
automated method of managing a room’s
acoustic behaviour for improved clarity,
imaging and overall realism, advanced
DSP algorithms that audibly improve audio
performance and a linear power supply along
with carefully-selected audiophile-grade
components.
Since its introduction in 1998, the Meridian
861 Reference Digital Surround Controller
has consistently offered the industry’s
highest standard in surround processing
and system control.
The 861’s modular architecture allows
each unit to be individually specified and
manufactured. Modular architecture also
means that as technology standards
advance and new features are developed
existing 861s can be upgraded – adding
new processing features and connectivity;
a service that maintains the value of the
customer’s original investment.
The 861v8 Reference Digital Surround
Controller, the most recent version of this
landmark processor, incorporates the
latest linear power supply design, USB
input, enhanced SpeakerLink control and
output connectivity for up to eight channels
of Meridian DSP Loudspeakers and an
eight-channel MMHR input as standard
features. It also incorporates a number of
other connectivity and performance updates
which makes the 861 ideal for today’s
market and easy to specify.
861v8 makes a perfect front end for the
‘Class A’ rated Meridian Digital Theatre,
where the 861 can receive super-high-
resolution MMHR digital signals from a
Meridian product such as the HD621 HDMI
Audio Processor.
