[. . . ] SW1600 & SW5500 Digital/Analogue Active Subwoofers Product highlights Optimised for both movie soundtracks and music Active analogue and digital inputs for maximum versatility 12in, high-efficiency, long-throw drivers 24-bit, 96kHz D/A converters for highest possible audio accuracy Separate analogue and digital power supplies for superb power handling and low distortion SW5500 subwoofer above, and SW1600 below. Meridian's SW1600 and SW5500 combine the finest materials with state-of-the-art design to create what we believe are the ultimate subwoofers, emphasising extreme bass, depth, clarity, control, and articulation. Each subwoofer provides both digital and active analogue inputs, allowing them to be connected either to a Meridian digital surround controller or digital source with a digital coax output, or to an analogue preamplifier or surround controller with either phono or balanced (XLR) outputs.

The recommended configuration for music is to provide two subwoofers, one for each of the main left and right channels, for a superb stereo image. In a large system, multiple subwoofers can be employed to provide even more impressive effects. Accessories The use of two drivers in parallel, combined with the ultra-low output impedance of the amplifier, allows the SW5500 to deliver RMS power outputs in excess of 500W. Rigid cabinet design Each subwoofer is carefully constructed from 22mm MDF with inert basket bracing and bitumen damping to produce an ultra-rigid, damped cabinet that minimises colouration. The subwoofers are finished with 6mm annealed glass top-plates, and thick Outline Specifications SW1600 Digital inputs · 1 x S/PDIF coax input (+1 output) , 32-96kHz. · PCM using IEC958, or MHR connection support with auto-detection. veneered MDF sides are bolted to the main cabinet, resulting in extremely low levels of cabinet resonance. Applications The SW1600 and SW5500 can be used to complement Meridian DSP Loudspeakers in both stereo and surround systems. In addition, the analogue input capability makes them ideal for analogue systems too. A Meridian surround processor such as the G68 can handle several DSP loudspeakers, Control · 2 x Meridian Comms (BNC & DIN, in and out). · Absolute phase switch. The SW1600 and SW5500 are supplied with feet, spikes and castors, allowing maximum versatility of mounting and position, including built-in or cabinet installation. Included are the cables required to use the subwoofers in a Meridian system. Acoustic Parameters · Sealed enclosure; no port noise. · Inert basket-braced bitumen-damped cabinet.
