Description
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.
