The Engine Inside that smooth, sculptured cabinet is a powerful, 80 watt, 2. 1 stereo system ­ vastly more powerful than a typical `table radio' ­ with a subwoofer for truly impressive bass. At the core of the Meridian M80 is a highintegrity digital sound system, based on powerful digital signal processing (DSP) technology. This electronic heart is surrounded by a sturdy, well-damped cabinet in which each driver has its own compartment. Innovative low-resonance, high-mass composite materials ensure that this cabinet offers excellent dynamic integrity. Whatever the volume level, it does not resonate or interfere with the sound quality. Inside the loudspeaker enclosure, the left and right stereo drivers are special fullrange designs ­ developed by Meridian and custom-made specifically for its compact systems ­ with powerful neodymium magnets, die-cast chassis, high-temperature voice-coils and carefully-designed cones fashioned from magnesium and aluminium alloy. The subwoofer is a special long-throw design with a unique extended voice-coil that maximises output and linearity. The circuitry driving this unique system employs the highest quality, `audiophile' components chosen specifically for their contribution to the overall sound quality. The crossover ­ the system that feeds the left, right and bass loudspeakers with the correct sounds ­ is a special DSP design: a concept invented by Meridian. It sounds clear and full, at both high and low volume ­ whether the Meridian M80 is filling a room, or sitting right next to you. [. . . ] The i80's black finish complements the appearance of the M80 and allows an iPod to be controlled with the M80 remote, with details displayed on the M80 display. Meanwhile, iPod content is replayed with the highest possible fidelity via the M80's powerful 2. 1 DSP loudspeaker system.
