Meridian’s G Series line of high performance
digital and analogue consumer audio
components feature a stylish cabinet design
in traditional black or a sleek silver finish.
Designed to be either free-standing or rack-
mounted, G Series components build on their
predecessors, the multi-award-winning 500
and our flagship 800 Series, and include
entirely new circuitry developed specifically
for the G Series.
Multi-layer boards reduce system noise and
improve performance. In products which
include video capabilities, broadcast-quality,
wide-bandwidth video components are
employed for maximum image integrity.
G Series units are easy to use. Where
appropriate, a knob is included to control
volume. The positive-action front-panel
keys are software-defined: their legends are
presented in the vacuum fluorescent display
and change intelligently according to context.
Full installation configuration of many G
Series components is achieved by running
a special setup program on a Windows
computer, connected to the G Series unit via
a serial link, or direct from the front panel.
G Series products also include serial ports
for remote operation and configuration,
along with infra-red sensor input and trigger
capabilities, plus Meridian communications
ports. A comprehensive back-lit learning/
programmable remote is included with
products other than amplifiers.

The G92 is a DVD player, controller
(preamplifier) and tuner, with multichannel
analogue and digital output capability and a
robust slot-loading DVD-ROM drive. As the
heart of a complete stereo or multichannel
audio/video system, the G92 offers an
alternative to the G95 for the user who
already owns multichannel power amplifiers
(included in the G95) or wishes to employ
Meridian digital loudspeakers to create a full
digital theatre system.
The G92 plays audio CDs, MP3 CDs,
Video CDs, and DVD-Video including
the DVD side of DualDisc hybrids. It can
decode Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and
MP3 data streams to PCM for stereo, and
in some cases multichannel, playback, and
it can optionally output Dolby Digital, DTS,
and MPEG bitstreams for connection to a
surround controller such as Meridian’s G61
or G68.
The G92 incorporates a two-channel
preamplifier with two coax digital inputs,
two optical inputs, and three analogue
inputs. It provides analogue and digital
multichannel and fixed auxiliary digital
stereo outputs. Digital signal processing is
included to upsample (stereo only) decoded
streams, or decode surround bitstreams
from external sources. It also includes a
high-quality FM/AM tuner with RDS/RDBS
(G92 model), or a DAB/FM tuner (G92-
DAB).
