Ellipse

About the Ellipse

The Meridian Ellipse is a compact, high-end streaming speaker engineered to deliver Meridian's signature sound quality with a bass response comparable to much larger speakers. It features three drive units: two 90mm polypropylene wide-range drivers and one 150mm x 100mm long-throw 'racetrack' subwoofer driver, powered by three amplifiers (2 x 25W for full-range drivers and 1 x 30W for the subwoofer). The speaker cabinet is rigid and acoustically inert, designed with advanced materials and computer modeling to minimize resonance. It supports multiple audio inputs including USB-C (up to 192kHz/24-bit), mini-TOSLINK optical (up to 96kHz/24-bit), and a dual-purpose 3.5mm minijack socket for analog or optical input. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, enabling streaming from services like AirPlay2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Roon Ready. Control is available via illuminated touch controls, the Meridian Control app, IR remote, and automation interfaces. The Ellipse employs Meridian's DSP technologies for time-correct, high-resolution processing and room-adaptive bass control, delivering a balanced, spacious soundstage with a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz within 3dB. Its compact dimensions (412mm W x 223mm D x 171mm H) and weight (3.9kg) make it a versatile and elegant solution for high-fidelity audio in any room.
