When someone mentions the name Meridian, often the ensuing discussion centers on digital audio and home theater. Throughout its history, Meridian has earned a position as a market leader in the digital audio category and today, as the home audio market evolves, the company is proactively taking its digital expertise and applying it to categories like whole-house audio.
To that end, Meridian has announced its new 258 Eight Channel Power Amplifier.
“The new Meridian 258 Eight Channel Power Amplifier delivers a premium experience in a small and efficient, cold-running chasis that’s easily integrated into multiroom audio systems and more,” says Ryan Donaher, vice president, sales and marketing, Meridian America. “As a brand that is committed to Hi-Res audio and delivering the best possible experience for any application, we understand the importance of seamless integration.
The 1U-high amp incorporates Class D amplification technologies that enable the amp to produce 70-watts of power into an 8-ohm load, 100-watts of power into a 4-ohm, and because of its Class D architecture, the amp runs cools without the aid of cooling fans, which could potentially add noise to its operation.
The U.K.-based company also points out the 258 doesn’t compromise performance and reliability either. The amp employs an aluminum chassis and audiophile-grade internal components to fully support the playback of high-resolution audio content in whole-house audio systems.
The new Meridian 258 Eight Channel Power Amplifier retails for $2,000.
