Hi-Fi for Listeners
 

Looking and Listening

If this was not enough, wait: for there is more. So far, you have only been listening to music. Now place a DVD-Video disc in the player. Dim the lights again – and this time, you can see and hear the creations of directors and artists from the latest blockbusters to the earliest moving pictures.

Have you ever considered that, unless you visit a movie theatre within a short time of a film being released, you are only seeing part of it? Every time a film is passed through the projector gate, something is lost. Dirt and scratches appear. The print degrades. Within just a few short weeks a significant proportion of the quality of the image has vanished silently away.

And these days, it isn’t even the ‘big screen’ any more. In your local multiplex, it seems hardly bigger than you can watch at home. Where you can press ‘Pause’ and get up to make a cup of coffee or pour another shot of single malt. Or not: you are in control.

Of course, there is a certain ‘something’ about seeing the premier of a major motion picture in the company of an appreciative and attentive audience, and perhaps you will go to a premiere once in a while. But just a few short months later, you can buy or rent that movie on DVD and watch it at home with a hand-picked audience who will enjoy the show just the way you do.

Not only that, a Meridian system is designed to meet – and far exceed – the specifications of the average cinema. We design our own surround decoders to extract every last nuance from the movie soundtrack: the most subtle piece of music, the wind in the trees, “the magic that sings the claim of the voice in the shadow…” – or the vibrating thud of a Tyrannosaurus Rex footfall. In tremendous, enveloping, involving surround, while our video circuitry conveys every last detail of the image to your screen. To have a movie experience like this… well, you’d have to own the theatre.

And now, that’s exactly what you can do. Meridian’s G Series components offer you superb sound and stunning images: from the latest DVD-Audio and DVD-Video discs available today, from your entire existing library – and even from thin air, with available AM/FM tuner capability. The G Series’ innovative new technology takes its cue from our flagship 800 Series products, while adding special touches of its own. Meridian systems have traditionally won the world’s finest accolades for their design, for their sound, and even for their looks – and the G Series is no exception.

Hi-Fi for listeners

Take a look at the G Series products described in this brochure and examine the data sheets included in the rear pocket. You will see sleek, new styling, available in traditional Meridian black or soft, pearly silver – and know that these are systems to be seen, as well as heard. You will discover components that, when you touch them, reveal the solidity and tactile sensation of real metal and real glass – like a handcrafted watch or a fine automobile.

G Series components are as superbly built inside as out. Our tried and tested modular design philosophy enables us to offer options that match your exact requirements. In many cases, a card-based structure allows new capabilities to be added as technological advances continue, while software updates can be downloaded and installed to include new features and improve old ones, as time goes by.

Together, G Series components create superb systems – and in this brochure we will suggest a few of them. You can build your G Series system to incorporate either Meridian’s ground-breaking DSP Loudspeakers, or passive loudspeakers driven by our own power amplifiers, to reproduce the very best in today’s audio and video.

For people, like you, who listen.
