271 is an interface between a 3rd party pre/pro and M DSP speakers. Yes that makes sense to me, but why then that headline ?? That's my confusions... thanks to make that clear

Robert, we simply don't know yet and probably won't until CEDIA (in September).

The unusual nature of the release of this New Product Information is a concern.
It appears to be a development of the "Teaser" method used by Meridian in the past. However as it would seem that all distributors / partners / custom installers have been informed at least some 8 weeks ago of 251 and 271, it took a Swedish company and Meridian Australia to break ranks publicly and share the information with previous customers who have shown considerable brand loyalty over many years.
If there was no Meridian embargo on the release of this information then why not use their own web site and create a coordinated product launch?
Lack of resource or just incomprehensible?

I'm interested to know how the +4 channels are handled. Since, as pointed out above, the Trinnov has only 16 digital outputs, I assume these are analogue inputs on the 217? Also, are they just passthrough channels for analogue speakers or are there corresponding outputs available to Meridian DSP speakers. I expect we won't have answers for several weeks.
Main system - Sources (Kodi-HTPC, Vero 4k, FireTV, Sat) into Trinnov Altitude 32 (8-16) (+Roon), Trinnov Amplitude 8 amp & Vivid Audio (Giya G3, V1.5) and REL Stentor III speakers. Others: F80 + Raspberry Pi and other Pi systems.

Ha, well done Meridian!
This is an impressive solution. I wonder if you can mix and match. Though I will note that using large DSP's somewhat defeats the strength of the Trinnov and its ability to control separate channels in 2x/3x way speakers.
Primary: MD600, MS200 (SpeakerLink to AES), Trinnov ST-2, Ayre V6-xe, Salk SS8 3x LRC.
Secondary: MC600 (whole house).
Zone one: 568.2, G57, MS200, Spatial Hologram M2SE.
Zone 2-6 (Awaiting assignment).

Anyone know if 271 has support for legacy comms, or is it just SpeakerLink. Looking to build system with DSP33s.

I'd be surprised if it had legacy comms.
Easy enough to get SL to legacy cables though, so no issue really.
Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.
Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

Rack mount design like the 258.

Full SpeakerLink comms for MSR+ control

271 looks like a great piece of kit.

a great hedge, no doubt.
too bad M have been unable to step up their 861 program and get back to the bleeding edge forefront.

I'll agree that the 271 looks great but I do fear that this puts an 861v.next even further into the future. M looks to be concentrating on 2-channel and the custom install market right now. Maybe it's time to think about replacing my HD621/861v8 with a Trinnov/271 combo
