Meridian Ellipse Streaming Speaker

The Meridian Ellipse is Meridian's first high-performance all-in-one streaming speaker and the third product from its Extreme Engineering Programme. It is a complete Meridian system in a compact cabinet, made in Britain, delivering natural, lifelike and room-filling sound with bass you would normally expect only from much larger loudspeakers. Ellipse won the EISA Best Product award 2024–2025.

Technology from the flagship DSP8000 XE and DSP9 is condensed into an exceptionally inert, sealed enclosure with three active drivers and twelve Meridian DSP technologies. Image Elevation and Bass & Space let you tune the sound to the room, placement and your taste. The elliptical design with a smooth, non-reflective deep black finish fits elegantly into any modern interior, and illuminated touch controls on top keep everyday use simple.
