Meridian Audio Alfred Dunhill Ltd join hands to bring us the AD88 system
Britain's Meridian Audio Ltd is well known for being the creator of uniquely sophisticated, functionally elegant digital audio and video components and systems. Meridian Audio and Alfred Dunhill Ltd. have a lot in common and this seems through their dedication to inherent quality and intelligent simplicity. This is obvious through their new, stunning, collaborative one-piece music system. The Alfred Dunhill AD88 Entertainment System takes full advantage of Meridian's peerless expertise in digital audio and loudspeaker design to get amazing musical depth, power from a stunning component that is about the size of a desktop humidor. AD is famous for the quality of the materials used and the labor that goes into the products. It is of the highest caliber. That is why it is no surprise that the AD88 system's quiet polished-wood, matte-alloy, and piano lacquer forms are superbly made. The engineering that is concealed by the style includes, "The AD88's state-of-the-art 2-plus-1¬channel digital sound system inherits the DNA of Meridian's flagship reference systems, to achieve musical performance . Despite its compact form, the dunhill system integrates a highly capable, reference-grade Meridian CD player (Meridian created the world's very first "audiophile CD player" some 25 years ago); it also includes an FM/AM tuner with an advanced, built-in antenna engineered for the best reception.
The supplied iPod docking station and remote control complete the AD88's capabilities. " That is not where the wonders of this audio system ends. It has another shade to its personality that plays DVD's with amazing video quality , giving you complete disc replay from one compact unit, when combined with a television or suitable desktop display. The other technical aspects are just as fascinating. "Meridian's advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing), developed expressly for the AD88 design, is one key to its wonderfully detailed, rich sound and impressively wide and lifelike "soundstage." All of this, plus the three powerful amplifiers that effortlessly deliver more than 80 watts to the system's two front main speakers and rearward "subwoofer,". The overall enclosure is a dense, acoustically inert, internally braced structure manufactured by Meridian using specialized, nine-layer Finnish birch, and finished to dunhill's design in wonderfully polished, high-gloss piano lacquer. A refreshingly simple, ergonomic interface of "smart" buttons and a legible organic-LED display, and intelligent features such as automatic station naming, make the AD88 simple to use. But everyone who sees-and, especially, hears- the Alfred Dunhill AD88 will want one. " The AD88 is a very promising system indeed.
