Background

In-wall loudspeakers are not a new invention.

Indeed they have been employed for many years

by installers who wish to provide an unobtrusive

audio solution to customers who have been

unwilling or unable to install conventional free-

standing loudspeakers.

However, the design restraints generally imposed

on an in-wall design – limited space and thus

limited enclosure volume, physical limitations on

materials and other restrictions – have meant

that in-walls have traditionally offered a level of

quality and performance that has lagged some

distance behind their free-standing counterparts.

Meridian’s DSP420 breaks that mould with

an in-wall loudspeaker that is a cut above the

rest. Inside each unit, Meridian’s unique high

technology digital signal processing is used to

free the sound from the walls: the result is clear

and open with a wide response, very much in

line with the performance of Meridian’s smaller

free-standing DSP-based loudspeaker models,

and with a similar character, enabling in-wall and

free-standing speakers to be combined in a single

system as required.

As a result, the DSP420 has become one of

Meridian’s most popular loudspeakers. Following

its success, and in response to customer

demand, an active analogue variant, the M420,

is now available, with the same bass drivers

and power ampliﬁers as the DSP version. In

addition, the back-box available for both units

has been redesigned to permit easier and quicker

installation, including BNC connectors on the

digital version and XLRs on the analogue.

Truly Active In-Walls

The DSP420 and M420 are truly active in-wall

speakers with separate internal ampliﬁcation

for high and low frequency bands. Rated

at 65 and 85 Watts respectively and using

carefully selected bipolar output devices, the

idealised low feedback designs are based on

those used in other Meridian loudspeakers to

deliver exceptionally fast bass response and
