MERIDIAN 518 Digital Audio Processor Used, Working Perfectly MADE IN ENGLAND The High End is a tidily ordered world. There are CD players, transports, and processors used to play stereo recordings and drive stereo preamplifiers. There are stereo or mono amplifiers used to drive a pair of speakers. And then there is the British high-end company Meridian, run by one J. Robert Stuart, one of audios deeper thinkers and a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society. Meridian does it their way. They put their amplifiers inside their speakers. Heck, Meridian even puts their D/A processors inside their speakers when they can. And two speakers to play back stereo recordings? Meridian believes in re-creating the original soundfield no matter how many speakers and channels it takes to do it right. And they do it sufficiently successfully that their Digital Theatre system, which does all of the above, was one of Stereophiles joint Home Theater products. I immediately asked for a review sample.Innards The 518 is housed in a smart black enclosure identical to that of Meridians other 500-series components. The circuitry is based on a Motorola DSP-56002 24-bit digital signal processing chip running at 40 or 60MHz (the specs. are unclear here). The selected input signal—there are five inputs and, in Meridian fashion, these have to be assigned to a display alias to become operational—is dejittered using a dual Phase-Locked Loop circuit and a crystal oscillator similar to those in the well-regarded Meridian D/A processors. The reclocked data are then fed to the DSP engine, which performs three main functions, all under the control of front-panel buttons, of other Meridian components via a Comms. socket on the rear, or of a computer via a rear RS-232 port.First, the 518 can adjust the gain in 1dB steps up to +12dB or -99dB. This volume control operates with 72-bit internal precision, and dither is used to minimize round-off errors. Second, the input and output word lengths can be set to be different. A typical application, for example, would be when a 20-bit A/D converter was used to feed a DAT or CD-R recorder, both of which can only store 16-bit data. In such a case the 518 offers a choice of seven noise-shaping/redithering algorithms, these psychoacoustically optimized to give as audibly transparent a data reduction as possible. Finally, the 518 can add pre-emphasis to the digital data to increase resolution when the analog signal is finally reconstructed. The data output is in both AES/EBU (XLR) and S/PDIF (RCA) formats.

See information below. I used this unit with other Meridian equipment (565, 562V, DSP5000/5000C speakers). By using the 518 I was able to transfer data from a given source to a CDR or VCR (old school). Meridian 518 Inputs:1 Digital Optical, 2 Digital Coax, and 1 shared Digital Coax / AES/EBU.2 Channels up to 24 significant bits.Output:1 Digital Coax, 1 AES/EBU (2 Channels up to 24 significant bits.)Price:Weight:10 lb.Dimensions:3.5(H) x 12.7(W) x 13.1(D)Features:The Meridian 518 is a 2 channel digital audio computer. It has been designed to be used as:Control Unit/Digital PreampResolution Enhancement ProcessorMastering ProcessorBasic operation is as follows: after the signal has been received by the 518, it is then sent directly to a Twin Phase-Lock-Loop which is used to de-jitter the signal. The signal is then sent to a 42Mhz DSP which performs the enhancement processing:Matching input word length to output word lengthPre-emphasis or De-emphasisDitherWhen used as a preamp, all sources must be digital, and any analog sources must be first run through an A/D Converter. In my system, the 518 is used between my (digital) preamp and surround sound processor. My preamp is the Meridian 562V, which has an A/D Converter built-in. The 518 allows you to set the input word-length: 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 bits, as well as the output word-length.The 518 allows 12 Virtual Sources (Only 4 physical inputs). It is possible to use all 12 sources using only 1 input! The 518 will retain the settings for each source on that one input. The 518 contains four operating modes:NormalStandbyType - This determines how the 518 is used (Preamp, Resolution Enhancer, or a Mastering Processor).Config - Where all communication and hardware options are setup.
