LONDON, January 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

- With Photo

Meridian Audio, Britain's leading specialist manufacturer of high-end audio and video entertainment systems, has announced the introduction of its all-new M6 loudspeaker. Designed and assembled by hand at the company's Cambridgeshire headquarters, the new loudspeakers' contemporary design showcases Meridian's original design ethos of creating the best sounding loudspeakers in a form that complements a customer's home environment.

Attractive as a sculpture in its own right, M6 has a circular footprint and pleasing lines. From its slim, soft shape and gentle taper to the use of non-reflective finishes, the first impression given by M6 is not that of a loudspeaker. The cylindrical enclosure gives M6 its naturally wide dispersion pattern, filling the room with natural sound that can be enjoyed from any position and does not vary in volume as you move closer or further away from the loudspeakers.

M6 showcases a striking design approach in combination with unique Meridian technologies that allow a level of performance that is unsurpassed by traditional speaker designs.

Following the rapid expansion of Meridian into the automotive sector in 2011, Meridian sound systems are now available in the award-winning Range Rover Evoque and the cutting-edge McLaren MP4-12C supercar. The launch of M6 marks the beginning of a significant year for Meridian.

Meridian's founders, Bob Stuart and Allen Boothroyd, are to be celebrated at a major new design exhibit. To coincide with the Olympic Games in London in 2012, the Victoria and Albert Museum is launching an exhibition 'British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age', showcasing British leadership across all design disciplines.
