Meridian DSP5500HC Horizontal Centre-channel
Today’s multichannel music and film soundtracks demand more performance from a centre channel than ever before. High performance centre-channel loudspeakers must have frequency, phase and sonic characteristics that closely match your main speakers. When matched correctly, the resulting surround sound or enhanced stereo presentation will be natural. New higher resolution multichannel formats mean that correct choice of a centre speaker is even more critical. By designing our systems with music reproduction foremost in our minds, Meridian has once again anticipated your needs with the DSP5500HC, matching the performance of its vertical counterparts.
Product/DSP5500HC Horizontal Centre
The DSP5500HC is constructed with steel panels sandwiched between the rigid inner cabinet and the veneered outer panels on four sides. The two 200mm bass drivers are housed in separate internal enclosures. A third internal enclosure houses the tweeter and midrange. As a result the acoustic cabinet is extremely rigid, giving the benefits of extension, clarity and dynamic range unheard of in conventional centre channels.
Meridian also included innovative DSP technology to compensate for boundary and corner use. This is a centre speaker that can be installed in almost any environment with confidence.
The DSP5500HC has been designed to work coherently with the Meridian DSP5500, DSP6000 and DSP8000 loudspeakers.
