The G41 powers 200 and 300 Series  
installation loudspeakers in Remote  
Active mode. It features active crossovers,  
switched balanced and unbalanced  
inputs, and employs the same low-  
feedback topology as Meridian’s  
G55/56/57 amplifiers, which was  
developed from that used in the flagship  
DSP8000K.  
the speakers in use, and an appropriate  
card is supplied with each loudspeaker.  
Modules are available for the 320, 330  
and 350, and each module includes a  
pair of LEDs that confirm the positive  
and negative power-rails are operative  
and identifies the crossover installed by  
means of the colour combination. 200  
Series units can use the crossover or can  
be driven in passive configuration with  
the fourth amplifier pair configured for  
two channels of full-range operation.  
For years, Meridian loudspeakers have  
been regarded as offering the highest  
performance available – the result of  
careful design, the highest-quality  
drivers and components, transparent  
crossovers and rigid, low-coloration  
enclosures in both Active and Digital  
Active designs.  
The 300 Series consists of three ultra-  
slimline systems for in-wall (surface  
grille) and flush-mount (completely  
hidden, eg behind wall coverings)  
applications, featuring 6.5in (165mm)  
metal-cone bass drivers, and a wide-  
dispersion horn-loaded ribbon tweeter  
for superb performance anywhere.  
Remote Active units are supplied with  
the appropriate crossover card for the  
G41 Active Crossover unit.

Eight channels of approximately100W/8Ω  
(180W/4Ω) RMS amplification are  
provided, grouped into four pairs, each  
providing bass and tweeter outputs from  
a full-range input.  
Now we have paid the same level of  
attention to the design of loudpeakers  
for installation purposes, including  
in-wall, flush-mount and on-wall  
configurations. These offer full Meridian  
performance for systems where the use  
of floor-standing models is impossible  
or inappropriate.  
Thermal, short-circuit and DC fault  
protection circuitry is included. The G41  
has soft start, fan output and trigger  
input.  
The 320 includes a single bass driver  
and tweeter; the 330 adds an 8in  
(200mm) Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR);  
and the 350 features two bass drivers  
and two ABRs.

The fourth channel pair can also be  
configured as two full-range amplifiers  
for driving a pair of passive loudspeakers,  
eg for surrounds. To do this, the right-  
hand modular crossover card is removed  
and replaced by one providing additional  
full-range unbalanced inputs.

A unique feature of the G41 is a cable-  
length compensation switch. The  
amplifiers have a negative impedance to  
cancel out cable effects. This dramatically  
improves performance, tightening the  
bass response and giving significantly  
improved control and punch. Two switch-  
selectable settings are provided, one  
for cables under 10m and the other for  
cables over 10m in length. A separate  
rear-panel switch is provided for each  
pair of amplifiers.  
The 200 Series in-ceiling/wall design  
and the 300 Series of wall-mounting  
systems allow exceptional flexibility of  
configuration. This document describes  
their application as remotely-driven  
active in-wall/flush-mount speakers and  
the G41 Powered Crossover/Amplifier  
designed to power them; passive and  
on-wall configurations are also available  
and are detailed separately.  
Heavy, rigid enclosures minimise wall  
and cavity excitation so you hear the  
speakers, and not wall resonances.

Replacement labels identify the  
reconfigured output terminals (see rear  
panel illustration below).  
A white paintable low-resonance grille  
and frame is included, and rough-in  
boxes are available.  
The crossover modules take the form of

In every case, Meridian installation  
loudspeakers deliver the performance  
of a stand-alone design in a discreet  
enclosure with minimal visual impact  
– and awesome power.
