The Meridian G57 is a solid, reliable, 2-channel unit, delivering a powerful 200W continuous mean power per channel into 8 ohms, or up to a full kilowatt bridged into 4 ohms.
The amplifier modules feature a symmetrical design with fully electronically-balanced inputs. Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided, but in fact the unbalanced inputs are converted to balanced before they enter the amplifier itself, using Meridian’s proprietary ‘superbal’ technology.
The discrete active input components are thermally and electrically matched in pairs, and the amplifiers feature active bias control throughout, with thermal sensing that carefully manages the temperature and current flow at different volume levels.
Fully DC-coupled, the signal path contains no capacitors, while those in the power supplies are audiophile grade components.
The amplifiers are of a unique low-feedback design for minimum transient and interface distortion, offering superb clarity and transparency right across the audible range, with an output impedance that is extremely low and suitable for virtually any high-quality third-party passive loudspeaker system.
Trigger and other control signals are optically isolated from the amplifier itself. When in standby mode, a standing voltage is maintained on the power rails and supply components. As a result, you do not have to wait for half an hour after switching on for optimum performance to be achieved: it is there at once.
Two sets of outputs are provided per channel for bi-wiring, etc, on sturdy binding posts colour-coded for easy reference and capable of handling large-diameter high-quality loudspeaker cables. The output terminals are connected to the amplifiers by Van Den Hul silver-strand cable to avoid signal losses.
Including, original box, packing, cloth bag, manual, and original IEC powercord.
