210 STREAMER
OVERVIEW
The Meridian 210 Streamer is a high-quality audio source which allows streaming services used on smartphones, tablets
and other devices to be played on your audio system. It enables music accessed from today’s most popular streaming
platforms to be integrated seamlessly with Meridian systems.
The 210 can be attached directly to a pair of DSP loudspeakers or it can be connected to any system with a SpeakerLink
input. In all cases, volume and playback controls are synchronised between streaming apps and the Meridian system.

so that the contents of any USB storage connected to the 210 can be made available to networked digital media players and renderers.

WiFi and, by remembering the last eight Bluetooth
devices used, the 210 allows multiple users to enjoy

TECHNOLOGIES:
MHR
Meridian High Resolution [MHR] allows the secure
movement of high resolution digital audio, without
degradation or loss in quality.
SPEAKERLINK
Traditional audio systems often require large, expensive
cables to maintain their performance. Meridian’s
SpeakerLink uses an “Ethernet style” cable that delivers
pristine digital sound and control down a single cable
between Meridian components. The result is simple,
unobtrusive, and cost-effective cables that are easy to
install.
MQA
Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a
revolutionary end-to-end technology that delivers
master quality audio in a file that’s small enough to
stream or download.
CONSTRUCTION
The 210 is housed in a half-width, 1U tall enclosure. It is comprised of an Aluminium case fitted with non-metallic panels
to allow for WiFi functionality without an external antenna.
The 210 shares its form factor with some other Meridian 200 series products, such as the Meridian 218. An optional
rack-shelf is available which can accommodate two of any such units.
