Meridian built the world’s first
audiophile Compact Disc player in
1984 and the first two-unit transport
and converter in 1986; and has been
leading the way ever since. We have to
date received over 50 major industry
awards for our CD players.
Meridian’s G06.2 CD Player is a superb,
cost-effective introduction to the G Series
line. Its heritage lies in the 508, which won
over 20 awards, including a Class ‘A’ rating
from Stereophile, and it takes cues from the
astonishing 800 player, for which the Class
‘A+’ rating was specially added, and the
808.2, which we believe to be the best CD
Player we have ever built.
Inside the G06.2 lies advanced design – both
digital and analogue. Multi-layer PCBs, four
separate power supplies, the latest surface-
mount technology and carefully-selected
audiophile-quality components – and of
course, Meridian’s signature quality design
and manufacturing.
At the heart of the G06.2 are fully-integrated
electronics and a robust, slot-loading
computer-style CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Although it normally runs at standard CD
speed, the drive is capable of spinning the
disc much faster, allowing multiple high-
speed re-reads to ensure accurate recovery
of data from even the most difficult disc. This
feature alone provides ten times the error
correction of a conventional CD player.

Meridian’s G Series line of high performance
digital & analogue consumer audio
components feature a stylish cabinet design in
traditional black or a sleek silver finish.
Designed to be either free-standing or rack-
mounted, G Series components build on their
predecessors, the multi-award-winning 500
and our flagship 800 Series, and include
entirely new circuitry developed specifically for
the G Series.
Multi-layer boards reduce system noise and
improve performance. In products which
include video capabilities, broadcast-quality,
wide-bandwidth video components are
employed for maximum image integrity.
G Series units are easy to use. Where
appropriate, a knob is included to control
volume. The positive-action front-panel
keys are software-defined: their legends are
presented in the vacuum fluorescent display
and change intelligently according to context.
Full installation configuration of many G Series
components is achieved by running a special
setup program on a Windows computer,
connected to the G Series unit via a serial link,
or direct from the front panel.
G Series products also include serial ports
for remote operation and configuration,
along with infra-red sensor input and trigger
capabilities, plus Meridian communications
ports. A comprehensive back-lit learning/
programmable remote is included with
products other than amplifiers.
