Filters are critical in digital audio, but they can introduce distortion and harshness because of "pre-ringing". Early digital recordings suffer from harshness too, due to primitive filters.

After painstaking research, Meridian developed a special filter for Home Audio that avoids pre-ringing and cleans up the effects of early filters. The result: a better, cleaner sound from recordings old and new.

CHALLENGE

Filters are critical in digital audio, especially in analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters (ADCs and DACs). However, they can introduce distortion and harshness because of "pre-ringing" or pre-echo. In particular, early digital recordings suffer from harshness too, due to primitive filters.

SOLUTION

Meridian's proprietary Apodising Filter avoids pre-ringing and can actually clean up the effects of early filters, converting pre-echo to post-echo.

RESULT

This improves intelligibility, decreases listening fatigue and provides a more natural sound from new and old recordings.
