New York, NY—June 2009—Meridian Audio has announced that it is offering owners of its CD players and Surround Sound Controllers a unique opportunity to trade-up to a higher level of performance this summer. The “Excellence to Perfection Program� will run from June 15th to September 30th. Meridian is offering a fixed value trade-up price for selected 500 Series, G Series and 800 Series Disc players and Surround Sound Controllers against the purchase of a new, higher specification model.

Products that qualify for this trade-up promotion are:
Disc players: 506, 507, 508, 586, 588, 596, G06, G07, G08, G92, G95, G96, G98, 800(V1-3), 808, 808.2

In recent years, Meridian has released some of the most advanced and high performance products ever produced by the company. Models such as the G08.2 and 808.2 have advanced the boundaries of digital audio technology with unique proprietary “apodising” upsampling filters that can even correct errors in the original recording. The HD621, released earlier this year, enables the customer to connect up to six HDMI-equipped sources such as set-top-boxes and Blu-ray Disc players to their Meridian system, separating audio from video and enhancing the quality of both. In each case, the products have received exceptional reviews.

Now existing Meridian owners can experience this class-leading technology for themselves by upgrading at a highly advantageous price. Meridian dealers should contact their factory representative for specific pricing, terms and conditions.
