MERIDIAN - F80 TABLE RADIO IN FERRARI BLACKWhen You See the Meridian - Ferrari F80 You'll Smile. When You Hear It… You'll Want One! The Meridian – Ferrari F80's design is bold and unique - its smooth lines, sculptured curves and deep gloss lacquered finish immediately tell you this is something special. Inside the elegant cabinet lies the most advanced transportable entertainment system ever made. To design the Meridian – Ferrari F80, engineers with an award-winning pedigree in audio, electronics and radio were set a clear challenge: to apply their knowledge and expertise to a compact and unique design, and to create a system that offers astonishing performance. Don't let the small size deceive you – when we first heard the system in our showroom, the Meridian – Ferrari F80's sound was so big and immediately engaging. From the bedroom to the boardroom, in the kitchen or the conservatory, its unique active loudspeaker technology fills any room with clear and captivating sound. The Meridian – Ferrari F80 can fill a large living room party with superb quality CD sound or, when connected to a display device, play your DVDs. Equally, with a dual function alarm; it's the perfect bedside companion and can wake you in the morning with gentle chimes, a preset radio station or your favorite CD. Use it in the study as a music system or as a high performance computer speaker. Hook up your Airport Express® digitally. Connect your iPod® and enjoy your stored music library. Catch the news on your local AM/FM or Digital Radio station as you lunch in the kitchen. Regardless of your application, the Meridian – Ferrari F80 is the finest portable system you’ve ever heard! At the heart of the Meridian – Ferrari F80 is a high-end audio system, based on powerful digital signal processing (DSP) technology. This electronic heart is surrounded by a sturdy, well-damped cabinet in which each driver has its own compartment. Innovative low-resonance, high mass composite materials developed in conjunction with Ferrari ensure that this cabinet offers excellent dynamic integrity - whatever the volume level, it does not resonate or interfere with the sound quality. Inside, the left and right stereo drivers are special full-range designs - developed by Meridian and custom made for specifically for this new range of products - with powerful neodymium magnets, die cast chassis, high-temperature voice-coils and carefully-designed cones fashioned from magnesium and aluminum alloy. The subwoofer is a special long-throw design with a unique long voice-coil that maximizes output and linearity. Active equalization ensures that the F80 always sounds its best. Sound controls include an innovative 'tilt' function that increases bass while decreasing treble, or vice-versa, so the sound is always correctly balanced. There are also built-in location compensation controls that adjust performance if the F80 has been placed, for example, in a corner or on a shelf, ensuring that the F80 sounds its best in any room position. On the rear panel are all the connections you'll need. For example, we know you'll enjoy the powerful on-board loudspeaker system, but there may be times when you want to connect a standard set of headphones for personal listening. Plugging the headphones in automatically mutes the loudspeakers - or not, if you prefer. “The Meridian F80—an ultra-stylish, one-box audio system—is a complete departure for Meridian. But when I heard it in the flesh, it was obvious why Ferrari has lent its name and marketing muscle to the project. My impression was that the F80 is capable of a much higher standard of performance and sound quality than is normally associated with such devices—more, indeed, than one has any right to expect from something so small!”
“The F80 is so user friendly, so nice looking, and so good sounding, that I’m scared to show it to my wife. She might demand that I sell off my complicated home theater and settle down with an F80. It seems like magic. I really don’t know how Meridian’s engineers did it!”
“A brilliant portable system that even a purist audiophile can easily listen to for hour on end!”
“Capture the public’s imagination? They’ve imprisoned mine, creating a hole in my bank account along the way – without a dissenting murmur from Louise. Every home should have a table radio and as of now, the F80 is the one to have!”
“What I want to tell you is that this $2999 clock-radio is drop-dead gorgeous and is a serious audio instrument. The f80 really filled that larger-than-domestic and nearly bare room with balanced sound. Now, I am not saying that it will replace a full component system for you or me, but I cannot think of another product that compares with it for size, appearance, or performance!”
