‘Bass and Space’? Is that a synonym for ‘Room Correction’?

I see the website says they will be demonstrating "new DSP modules" and "a selection of new audio products and software technologies".

The yawn of another era: ‘Bass and Space’ is for auto audio systems.

I'm choosing to believe in hopeful optimism. I have been a big believer in the Meridian design philosophy.
Could this be the advancement in DSP processing from one of the leading and original developers of the technology?
One can hope.

So Meridian has fallen to a level where they are going to demonstrate soundbars. It does not bode well for the future. confused

Meridian Advanced Technology Demo
"For the demonstration, Merdian’s engineers have selected an off-the-shelf third party soundbar and subwoofer package, to which they have added their new Semantic EQ interface to provide users with an intuitive, personalised equalisation based on natural language. A range of proprietary software technologies have been carefully selected and calibrated to maximise the performance and push the boundaries of what listeners would typically expect to experience from this hardware".

Meridian today is not the same as Meridian in the past.

I don’t think they are really a traditional hi-fi / audio company any more, if they ever were (at least as far as making kit is concerned). What they are doing is exploiting a lot of software and audio processing knowledge and licensing this technology to a variety of companies in different markets. Producing some state of the art speakers is a great demonstration of what is possible and serves as a “shop window” for Meridian technology.

We should think of them as an audio technology company - producing a few great products - and making money (I hope) licensing that technology.

Just my 2 cents….

2 cents that make sense. Exactly right:

It’s far worse than that, as they’re predominantly a UK distributor of other brands - as this recent podcast with Barry Sheldrick illustrates.
