The Distributor 1 is perfect for adding Meridian sound in your home. It is designed to integrate your distributed audio sources and your control system with a pair of DSP Loudspeakers. This product is designed for a single zone application. MHR was the first approved encryption method for transferring high definition digital audio between components. Previously, it had to be in the analogue domain, reducing quality. MHR allows secure movement of high resolution digital audio within a Meridian system, without compromise, improving quality by reducing cyclic repetition. Traditional audio systems often require large, expensive cables to maintain their performance. Meridian's SpeakerLink uses an “Ethernet style” cable that delivers pristine digital sound and control down a single cable between Meridian components. The result is simple, unobtrusive, and cost-effective cables that are easy to install. DESIGN Featuring rack-mounting hardware, Distributor 1 is designed for discrete installation in your home’s electronics rack. The zone provides analogue and digital inputs as well as SpeakerLink for a Meridian source, such as a streaming system. RS232 is provided as a secure and simple connection to the home’s control system. The signal is then sent to a pair of DSP Loudspeakers via SpeakerLink, making for a simple high performance distributed audio system. Suitable also for VESA mounting. INPUT: 1 x RS232 control signal (DB9) 1 x SpeakerLink (RJ45) 1 x Analogue stereo pair (phono) converted internally to 24-bit 96kHz digital 1 x Digital S/PDIF coax (phono) 1 x USB B type for configuration if required OUTPUT: 2 x SpeakerLink (RJ45, Master & Slave) Digital Aux S/PDIF coax (phono) for linking between zones
