The 501 Control Unit is a full function preamplifier for use with high performance analogue sources. It provides six audio inputs, each of which can be individually adjusted for sensitivity, and identified on the four-character alpha-numeric display. A very high quality MC or MM phono stage is available as an option for the dedicated LP input. In addition, the 501V Control Unit provides video switching for up to eight video inputs. This guide is designed to enable you to obtain the best possible results from the unit, and it includes information about customising the unit to your own requirements. If you have just purchased the 501/501V Control Unit you should first turn to the chapter Setting up the Control Unit, page 33, which explains how to unpack and install the control unit correctly. The Meridian 500 Series Introduction The Meridian 500 Series is a unique system of digital, analogue, and video components designed to meet the demand for absolute quality, ease of use, and lasting value. The flexibility of the Meridian 500 Series is such that you can assemble a system as simple or as complex as you need, perfectly suited to your musical and environmental requirements, and with the ability to add to it or change it at a later date should your requirements change. The 500 Series is also compatible with the existing Meridian 200 Series and 600 Series components. Each Meridian 500 Series component is housed in a matching slim line case. Front panel controls provide access to the most important functions, and the full range of functions is available from the Meridian System Handset using a simple and intuitive control interface. 500 Series communications The Meridian 500 Series includes a sophisticated communications link, to ensure that any configuration of units will work together as a fully integrated system. The 500 Series communications system allows you to control any combination of units using a single handset, and ensures that your commands from the handset are interpreted unambiguously. Any unit can be designated as the controller for the system, allowing you to position the other units out of range from the handset beam if desired. It also allows all the units to be switched off from the front panel of any unit in the system. Professional features The 500 Series also includes features for professional users, including RS232 computer control (501, 562, and DSP5000), and balanced outputs (563). The following pages give examples of four suggested configurations to illustrate the flexibility of the Meridian 500 Series.
