Meridian Special Edition DSP5200HC Digital Active Loudspeaker Gloss Black

The Meridian Special Edition DSP5200HC is the horizontal centre-channel partner for the free-standing Special Edition DSP5200 and delivers full-range playback in a low, wide cabinet. It shares the technologies of the whole Special Edition range, with purpose-built electronics housed inside its carefully crafted enclosure.

The DSP5200HC is designed to sit under a large-screen TV or behind an acoustically transparent projection screen, and it works well with other Meridian free-standing or in-wall loudspeakers. Meridian Image Elevation psychoacoustically lifts its sound image to the on-screen action, even when the speaker sits below the screen.
