Meridian G65 Surround Controller

Overview

The Meridian G65 is a high-end surround sound processor designed to be the central control unit in an advanced Meridian home theatre system. It incorporates several of Meridian’s proprietary technologies—including Room Correction, Q-Sync reclocking, apodising filters, and Trifield upmixing—to provide exceptional sound clarity and a highly immersive audio experience. With a modular, card-based architecture and extensive I/O support, the G65 is ideal for systems using either active DSP loudspeakers or conventional power amplifiers.

Key Features

• Meridian Room Correction (MRC): Automatically analyses and compensates for room acoustics, reducing resonances and optimising overall frequency response.
  
• Q-Sync Reclocking: Reduces jitter through FIFO buffering for more accurate digital timing and cleaner sound.
  
• Apodising Filter: Eliminates pre-ringing and reconstructs the original signal waveform for greater clarity and musical realism.
  
• Trifield Upmixing: Transforms stereo content into a natural, immersive multichannel presentation based on loudspeaker layout.
  
• Digital Precision & True Link: Enhances signal integrity and synchronises SPDIF transmission to reduce noise and jitter.
  
• Modular Architecture: Internal card-based design with isolated circuitry and separate power domains, derived from the Meridian 800 Reference Series.
  
• Flexible I/O Support: Handles up to 12 configurable sources and offers both SpeakerLink digital and XLR balanced analogue outputs for 7.1-channel setups.
