INTRODUCTION
Overview
The architecture of the 861 allows for wide fl exibility – future sources and
formats can be handled by upgrading either software or cards.
Meridian MHR Smartlink
The 861 Reference Digital Surround Controller incorporates a unique
multichannel link, which allows it to receive an upsampled 6-channel PCM
stream from a compatible source, such as the Meridian 800 Reference
DVD / CD Player, for the highest possible sound quality.
An additional feature of the Meridian MHR Smartlink is that it obtains
intelligent stream content information from the source, allowing the 861
Reference Digital Surround Controller to select an appropriate preset
depending on whether the source is music or a movie soundtrack, and
whether it is 2-channel or multichannel.
Inputs
The 861 is a full-system controller preamp that provides seamless control of
up to 12 sources.
By providing digital as well as analogue inputs the 861 can give radically
higher sound quality for sources that are originally digital – like CD,
LaserDisc, Digital Radio and DVD.
As well as accepting 2-channel digital audio, the 861 will handle SPDIF-
encoded Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG from sources like DVD, Satellite, and
LaserDisc (via an RF00 LaserDisc Demodulator Card).
Processing
The Meridian 861 routes all signals – if necessary via a 24-bit A/D converter
– into the digital domain for processing in the highly developed Meridian
24-bit DSP cards.
The incoming signals are processed using a variety of proprietary
algorithms, and up to eight output signals are generated. These output
signals can be used to feed a number of speaker layouts, ranging from two
to seven speakers with up to eight Meridian digital subwoofers.
The on-board algorithms include Meridian’s own highly transparent Dolby
Pro Logic, PLII, Dolby Digital, MPEG Surround, DTS, THX extensions, TV
Logic, and a variety of award-winning music programs including Trifi eld
and Ambisonic.
