The Meridian Media Core 200 is an elegant, compact and virtually silent Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System that requires only your choice of controller to bring it to life. It can be operated by any of the network-based control systems available, including the iPad or iPhone App, a computer, or a Meridian Sooloos controller such as the Control 15 or Control 10.
At the heart of the Media Core 200 is a 500GB hard drive, storing around 1,000 CD albums in pristine lossless quality for graphical and touch-screen access via the award-winning Sooloos interface.
The cabinet of the Media Core 200 is mounted vertically. This is so that the unit can operate without the use of a fan, employing only convection cooling. This minimizes the noise level of the Media Core 200 and as a result allows it to be placed within the listening area. The enclosure itself has finish in bead-blasted and anodized aluminum.
The Media Core 200 is designed to operate as part of a stand-alone system, with connection to an audio system and to an Ethernet network. (Internet connection is required for functions such as Internet Radio and Rhapsody®).

Meridian, based near Cambridge, UK, was founded in 1977 by Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd. With over 30 years’ history of innovation and development of uncompromised consumer home entertainment systems offering exceptional performance, this award-winning company is widely recognized as a world leader in high-quality audio and video reproduction.
Meridian developed the first audiophile CD player, the world’s first consumer digital surround controller, and the MLP lossless packing system included in Blu-ray Disc. The company’s optical disc players, DSP-based loudspeakers, video projectors, and scalers are unique in the industry, maintaining a super-quality digital signal throughout the path from the studio to the home, using advanced digital signal processing to deliver both a sweet, natural sound and smooth, crystal-sharp images with true cinematic realism. In late 2008, Meridian acquired leading networked media server developer Sooloos, and today the Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System offers a unique combination of superb digital audio quality with the world’s most innovative, flexible and intuitive touchscreen-based home entertainment system.
Every Meridian piece is still conceived, engineered, and built in the UK. Keeping production low-volume and high quality ensures the most outstanding results and speaks volumes of Allen and Bob’s unswerving commitment to making the best.
Meridian’s Audio Core 200 offers outstanding preamplifier quality, coupled with powerful Meridian Resolution Enhancement technologies such as an Apodising filter and upsampling for the very best sound quality.
