G68
Surround Controller
Meridian’s G Series line of high performance
digital and analogue consumer audio
components features a stylish cabinet design
in traditional black or a sleek silver finish.
Designed to be either free-standing or rack-
mounted, G Series components build on the
achievements of our flagship 800 Series,
and include entirely new circuitry developed
specifically for the G Series.
Full installation configuration of many G
Series components is achieved by running
a special setup program on a Windows
computer, connected to the G Series unit via
a serial link, or direct from the front panel.
Multi-layer boards reduce system noise and
improve performance. In products which
include video capabilities, broadcast-quality,
wide-bandwidth video components are
employed for maximum image integrity.
G Series units are easy to use. Where
appropriate, a knob is included to control
volume. The positive-action front-panel
keys are software-defined: their legends are
presented in the vacuum fluorescent display
and change intelligently according to context.
G Series products also include serial ports
for remote operation and configuration,
along with infra-red sensor input and trigger
capabilities, plus Meridian communications
ports. A comprehensive back-lit learning/
programmable remote is included with
products other than amplifiers.
Virtually every piece of audio equipment
has its own, characteristic sound. But
at Meridian, our intention is to represent
the original acoustic or studio event
as accurately as possible. The ideal
‘characteristic sound’ of Meridian, therefore,
is clear: it’s the real thing.
We achieve this sound in many ways,
including careful choice of the right
components, the right signal processing,
the shortest possible analogue chain,
precision analogue and digital design and
the lowest jitter. In a multichannel surround
processor these factors are particularly
important.
The G68 is the most comprehensive
Surround Controller in the G Series range,
and forms its centrepiece. It is a powerful,
flexible unit with an AM/FM tuner built in.
At the heart of the G68 is a powerful
DSP engine consisting of five Motorola
56367s and a 53671 running at 150MHz
– delivering an incredible 900MIPS (million
instructions per second). Processing is
performed at high sample rates and with
up to 48-bit precision , ensuring that all
filtering, processing and other operations
are carried out far beyond the limits
of human hearing. The G68 is thus an
excellent surround controller for high-quality
digital sources such as DVD and Blu-ray
Disc.
