Meridian Manchester, located in the Cheshire village of Alderley Edge, is the 13th Boutique opened by Meridian Audio.
Meridian Manchester gives the customer an unique experience, showcasing what is regarded as the best in class and most luxurious Audio Visual products on the market.
Meridian founders Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd met in Cambridge in the early 1970s and it was through a shared love of music they became friends. But it was their desire to better hear the music they loved that inspired them to design and manufacture their own audio equipment. And so Meridian was born.
Brought together by a shared love of music, their professional partnership was born of their desire to better hear it. Since founding the company more than 30 years ago in 1977, both have remained at the heart of their respective disciplines: Bob heading all technological developments; Allen leading the design team.
The results have been some of the most highly-praised audio equipment in the world, setting many a high-performance audio standard. As well as innumerable international awards for their components' performance and technology, Meridian's founders have the British Design Council Award for Outstanding British Products an unbeaten three times.
Based in Cambridgeshire, as they have been from the company's inception, every Meridian piece is still conceived, engineered, and built in the UK. Keeping production low volume and high quality ensures the most outstanding results and speaks volumes of Allen and Bob's unswerving commitment to making the best.
The number of unique technologies that have been developed by Meridian over the course of the company’s history is impressive in itself. That these technologies have set standards for the rest of the industry goes even further to prove a reputation for innovation and the pursuit of perfection.

Music shouldn’t be hidden away: it represents the treasured moments of our lives. Meridian allows you to rediscover your music collection and listen to exactly what captures your mood. In addition to your own music, Meridian Digital Media systems can immerse you in the world of Internet Radio and music streaming. By doing all of this Meridian are able to effortlessly put these treasures at your fingertips.
Meridian Digital Media Systems are completely flexible. Meridian are able to deliver all of your music whenever and where ever you want it. Starting with a single room system such as a Media Core 200 controlled via your iPad, iPhone or computer we can expand it into an extensive multi-room system, accessible from other controllers such as touch screen or the unique Control 15.
Owning Meridian allows you to rediscover your favourite music, through the sheer quality of it’s reproduction. Investing in a Meridian Digital Media System adds the unique ability to re-introduce you to your entire music collection through it’s own intuition and elegant ease of access.
iPad, iPhone are trademarks or registered trademarks of Apple Inc, registered in the United States and other countries.The Meridian Digital Media System interface was born out of a simple observation: that as much as we loved all of our music, we didn't listen to much of it. Whether you have 150 albums, or 1500, the problem is the same - you only listen to a fraction of your music.
We wondered about this. How could we present your library in a way that would keep it alive, and allow you to enjoy it anew every day? We created a fast, rich and engaging visual interface on a full-size touch panel that makes it easy to capture and share the excitement and enjoyment of music. You'll always find exactly what you're looking for, whatever your mood or intent, quickly and easily.
Meridian Digital Media System components allow you to store and back up all of your music in one central, shared location and easily browse and play it anywhere - in the home, on portable devices, or via the internet when you're away from home.
Sharing music with all the members of your family in every room of your home is simple and elegant with Meridian.
All music is stored in full lossless quality for the best in sound reproduction at home. The system also creates mp3 files of all of your music for portable use, allowing them to be easily transferred to any portable device through any computer on the network.
Your music can also be played through a web browser, turning any computer - whether in the home or beyond - into a place where you can listen to your collection.
With one system, everyone in your family can effortlessly enjoy centralised storage and backup of full and portable music libraries - accessed, controlled and played from anywhere.
While Meridian manages your music, all you need to do is enjoy it.
Playing music used to be simple. But now you have a variety of devices - from iPods to computers to phones to the CD player you never replaced - playing back different kinds of files in different places, with the complexities of backing up files and duplicates on different systems. How do you bring it all together, simply and reliably? In every room of your home? With all the members of your family?
Meridian Digital Media System components discover one another and communicate automatically through the router of your home network.
They also connect automatically, with no configuration, to any computer on your home network running our Control PC or Control Mac applications. With Control PC or Control Mac you can easily import and export music to or from anywhere, including iTunes®, in a wide variety of formats, from mp3 and AAC to high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz FLAC, Apple Lossless, or WAV.
Download music and easily drop it into your system to make it available anywhere. Export music to any iTunes library or computer in your home, to have it available on all your portable devices.
Control your Meridian system from any web browser on Macintosh, Windows, or Linux computers, or from an iPad®, iPhone® or iPod Touch®. Stream music to the speakers of any computer, inside your home or beyond. Meridian Digital Media Systems also integrate fully with Crestron home automation systems.

Music is about parties and celebrations, relaxation and enjoyment with family and friends. You don't want to be your own support person - or your whole family's support person - to enjoy music. You don't want to lose your music and the memories that go with it.

Don't worry about what happens when you add a computer, buy a new computer, or a hard drive dies. Meridian provides dedicated devices with effortless backup so your collection is always safe and secure from the headaches commonly associated with computers in your home.

Meridian's stand-alone loudspeakers place active crossovers and amplifiers in the same cabinet as the drivers, maximising efficiency and offering the performance of a conventional speaker eight times the physical volume. With their eye-catching looks and superb, sweet sound, they represent the final link in a chain of musical perfection from the artist to your home.
From its slim, striking shape and gentle taper to the use of non-reflective finishes, the first impression given by M6 is intentionally not that of a piece of audio equipment. Yet M6 is the epitome of a Meridian DSP Loudspeaker, with all the features that make them unique in their ability to combine superb sound with elegant design that’s at home in any room.
The DSP3200 is a compact, elegant and great-sounding digital active loudspeaker. It features a 165mm bass driver and 85mm wide-range driver, each driven by their own powerful amplifier, and Meridian’s award-winning DSP crossover system, which gives the DSP3200 a performance that belies its compact size.
The DSP5200 takes the elegant appearance and advanced design of Meridian’s flagship DSP8000 and delivers it in a compact package under a metre tall. They are ideal not only for smaller rooms, but also more spacious environments. Now with SpeakerLink, Meridian's special Apodising upsampling filter, and improved DSP.
With its unique sculpted curves, impressive appearance and a sound to match, the DSP7200 is an impressive Digital Active loudspeaker system from Meridian. Sharing many of the features of the flagship DSP8000, the DSP7200 is suited to a wide range of environments including somewhat smaller spaces and a supporting role in Meridian Digital Theatre applications.
The Meridian DSP8000 is the ultimate expression of the art and science of loudspeaker design. Meridian’s flagship digital active loudspeaker sets completely new standards for clarity, dynamics, imaging and realism. It is one of few loudspeakers in the world that can accurately reproduce both the power and subtlety of a concert grand piano. The DSP8000 is designed to reproduce sounds at up to full natural level while providing all the resolution required by high-definition audio sources up to 24-bit.
In-wall loudspeakers are increasingly popular, and with this in mind Meridian has introduced a new range of DSP loudspeakers for installation applications. Taking the latest technological developments that went into the new generation of free-standing DSP Loudspeakers, like the elegant M6, Meridian has applied these to a range of in-wall loudspeakers, offering the same superb performance – almost invisibly.
Meridian’s first DSP Subwoofer, DSW delivers powerful, authentic bass with room-filling performance to enhance both music and movie soundtracks.
Meridian introduced the world's first digital surround processor: it was an immediate success. Today Meridian surround sound processors deliver the best in multichannel audio for many different speaker configurations and the latest encoding formats. Stand-alone processors also include Meridian Room Correction, which smooths out room resonances and improves the clarity and precise imaging of the sound.
The G61R drives the speakers in a digital theatre system, decoding and dividing the sound between the loudspeakers for perfectly balanced surround audio. It is an ideal choice for those who want the processing capability of a Meridian digital surround processor but do not need the tuner, multi-zone and video switching capabilities of the G68. It also features Meridian’s renowned Room Correction technology.
The G68 builds on the technology that went into Meridian’s flagship, AAA-rated 861 surround processor. It is a powerful, flexible surround controller with an AM/FM tuner built-in, and represents the centrepiece of the G Series line, designed to suit a wide range of applications in both analogue and digital systems.
Meridian invented the home digital surround processor. The 861, rated Class ‘AAA’ by Stereophile Guide to Home Theater, offers significant DSP power, superb control and outstanding audio and conversion performance. The 861’s card-based architecture also offers the potential for handling more than 8 channels and for decoding future surround formats. It's the perfect companion to the 800 player.
The Meridian HD621 HDMI Audio Processor provides separate enhanced digital audio outputs suitable for a Meridian system, allowing the integration of up to six HDMI sources. Internal buffering and processing improves the audio quality of all your HDMI sources. It is also a 6-into-1 HDMI video switch, supporting both 2D and 3D video sources, allowing all your HDMI-based components to be fed via a single video cable to your display.
Meridian was the manufacturer of the world's first high-performance CD player, which still outperforms some modern designs. Today, Meridian's CD players are legendary, revealing remarkable clarity and depth and underlining the fact that Compact Disc is a medium capable of extremely high quality results. Proprietary filter systems in some models can actually clean up faults in the original recording. Meridian DVD players also play CDs.
We regard the Meridian 808v5 as the best-sounding Compact Disc player available. It features a unique, proprietary 'apodising' digital upsampling filter that can make standard CDs sound like High Resolution recordings and can even correct faults in the original recording. It also integrates into a Meridian Digital Media System. This player will truly unlock the heart and soul of your music collection.
A superb range of digital video projectors and processors that delivers smooth, flicker-free, cinema-like performance from standard and high-def sources, displaying full-spec HD and now, with the 810 Reference Video System, going way, way beyond: up to 10 megapixels.
The Meridian 810 Reference Video System is simply the best home cinema projector in the world. With 10 megapixels it can display over four times the resolution of full-specification HD. The images it creates are so detailed, clear and precise in their depth of field, authenticity of colour and contrast, they'll appear almost as real as anything you see in vision. You will believe your eyes.
The number and variety of source products available for home audio systems seems to increase at an ever-expanding rate. To unify all these sources into a complete stereo system, Meridian’s Audio Core products provide a host of multiple-format source connectivity, powerful audio enhancement features and DSP Loudspeaker controls. Audio Core products connect to any pair of Meridian DSP Loudspeakers via SpeakerLink.
Inspired by the advanced technology in Meridian’s popular 808.3 Signature Reference CD Player, the Meridian Audio Core 200 is a compact stereo audio controller with a wide range of digital and analogue inputs.
818 Reference Audio Core combines the multiple input capabilities of a high-performance pre-amplifier - including a Meridian Digital Media System audio end-point - with a full suite of Meridian's proprietary resolution enhancement technologies. It connects directly to Meridian DSP Loudspeakers via SpeakerLink.
Meridian Digital Media Systems are based on how we relate to music. They provide a unique way to access essential information about your collection – not only by song, album and performer, but by cover artwork, mood, genre, release date, and more.
The unique, award-winning systems are designed around the idea of "browsing", rather than simply displaying a list of tracks. They deliver a graphically rich, interactive experience – one that's driven by music, rather than by files and formats.
Meridian Digital Media Systems provide a truly immersive view of your content. You can mark your favourite tracks and see your play history; create a playlist and add music to it; determine what tracks should be played next; or start playing a track immediately.
Control 15 is a complete self-contained 1000-album-capacity touchscreen-controlled Sooloos system, as well as controlling and integrating fully with other components.
