Meridian 'HairRaising'
Event Lives
Up to Billing
A recent night of listening hosted by
Gilmore's Sound Advice in New York
City featuring new DSP800 XE speakers
impresses guests. By Jason Knott
THE BEATLES famously put
in a high-pitched inaudible at
the end of their masterpiece
" A Day in the Life " for Paul
McCartney's dog Martha to
hear. Well, Meridian Audio
didn't need to include any
sounds that only dogs could
hear as its demoed its new
DSP8000 XE loudspeakers
at Gilmore's Sound Advice
in New York City at a recent
special event.
Indeed, Ed Gilmore's
faithful dog Ollie was just as
impressed with the music
during the stunning demo
that had everyone feeling
the hair on the back of their
necks standing on end...
even Ollie.
Dubbed as a " hair-raising "
event, Gilmore's hosted key
Meridian personnel from the
U.K., its U.S. manufacturer's
reps Apex Technologies,
and several local integrators
for the evening of cocktails
and music listening. The
DSP8000 XE is the culmination
of the company's Extreme
Engineering Program
that undertook a multiyear
14 | CE Pro November 2022
overhaul of Meridian's software
and hardware.
CEO John Buchanan was
joined by director of marketing
Katy Bradshaw and director
of sales Barry Sheldrick
from the U.K., while Ryan
Donaher and Jimmy Paschke
of Apex were on hand as the
U.S. contingent.
Buchanan kickstarted the
event with a brand presentation,
reviewing the EEP program
and how it is enabling
the company to challenge
convention, push boundaries
and launch products that
have created new possibilities
in sound.
At Gilmore's Sound
Advice, there were two
separate demo setups. One
in large open area that could
showcase the speaker's wide
dispersion capabilities, and a
second demo in a more intimate
home theater room.
" At Meridian, we really
challenged ourselves more
than six years ago to really
rethink our approach, and go
beyond what we had ever
done before, " says Buchanan.
Gilmore's Sound Advice welcomed key Meridian personnel
from the U.K., its U.S. manufacturer's rep Apex Technologies
plus several integrators. One of the demo areas was a
high-performance dedicated theater.
" We christened this
the Extreme Engineering
Program and with the
DSP8000 XE you really
see the culmination of this
more than six years of work.
We are bringing together
all new platforms into the
new hardware platforms on
our software platform, with
the Atlas software core and
all the new drive units as
well, all combining together
to create really the most
extreme loudspeaker we've
ever produced. "
