Meridian M80 compact entertainment system

When Meridian introduced the original F80 it redefined the performance parameters of what consumers should expect from a desktop, all-in-one A/V system. The new M80 builds upon its performance attributes with more finish choices and a companion iPod dock.

Meridian has updated its benchmark F80 desktop A/V system through the release of the new M80 solution, which adds a companion i80 iPod dock and a choice of several new finishes.

A couple of years ago when the U.K.-based company Meridian introduced its F80 desktop A/V system it raised the performance bar for manufacturers in the all-in-one system category.

The newly announced M80 Compact Entertainment System from the high-performance A/V manufacturer offers ergonomically challenged homeowners the same basic technology platform as the F80, which includes a 2.1 speaker system driven by an 80-watt amplifier, digital signal processing (DSP), a slot-loaded CD/DVD player, an AM/FM tuner and multiple digital and analog inputs, with the addition of several new finishes and the company's i80 iPod dock.

Meridian says each M80 is hand built in its Cambridgeshire, England facilities, and its new leather exteriors---available in black, chestnut and ivory---are hand sewn in Northhampton, England.

The elliptically shaped M80's exterior also includes a organic light emitting diode (OLED) display that features an automatic brightness control that adjusts the display's light level to match the ambient light levels in the room. The companion gloss-black i80 iPod dock enables users to access and their music from the system's front panel or by remote control. In addition, the dock automatically charges an iPod so that a user never leaves home with a depleted iPod.
