Evolved from the award-  
winning 588 & 800 players  
Meridian’s G Series line of high performance  
digital & analogue consumer audio components  
feature a stylish cabinet design in traditional  
black or a sleek silver finish.  
The G08 24-bit Upsampling CD Player takes  
Compact Disc playback to an entirely new level.  
With a heritage that includes the multiple award  
winning 588 and 800 – and two dozen optical  
disc players from 1984 to the present day – the  
G08 is CD-optimised, and able to play virtually  
any CD, from conventional pressings to CD-R,  
CD-R/W and discs of MP3 files (64–256kbps).  
It also plays the CD side of DualDisc DVD/CD  
hybrids, and the CD layer of an SACD disc.  
Designed to be either free-standing or rack-  
mounted, G Series components build on their  
predecessors, the multi-award-winning 500 and  
our flagship 800 Series, and include entirely new  
circuitry developed specifically for the G Series.  
Multi-layer boards reduce system noise and  
improve performance. In products which include  
video capabilities, broadcast-quality, wide-  
bandwidth video components are employed for  
maximum image integrity.  
At the heart of the G08 are fully-integrated  
electronics and a computer-style CD/DVD-ROM  
drive. Although it normally runs at standard  
CD speed, the drive is capable of spinning the  
disc much faster, allowing multiple high-speed  
re-reads to ensure accurate recovery of data  
from even the most difficult disc. This feature  
alone provides ten times the error correction of  
a conventional CD player.  
G Series units are easy to use. Where appropri-  
ate, a knob is included to control volume. The  
positive-action front-panel keys are software-  
defined: their legends are presented in the  
vacuum fluorescent display and change  
intelligently according to context.  
Once the digital data stream has been recovered  
from the disc, powerful on-board digital signal  
processing (DSP) with a capability of an impres-  
sive 150 MIPS (million instrcutions per second)  
up-samples the digital information from the  
44.1 kHz, 16-bit signal of conventional CD to 24  
bits, and to a sample rate of 176.4 kHz for digi-  
tal to analogue conversion to drive the analogue  
outputs, and 88.2 kHz for the digital outputs.  
Full installation configuration of many G Series  
components is achieved by running a special  
setup program on a Windows computer,  
connected to the G Series unit via a serial link,  
or direct from the front panel.  
G Series products also include serial ports for  
remote operation and configuration, along with  
infra-red sensor input and trigger capabilities,  
plus Meridian communications ports. A compre-  
hensive back-lit learning/programmable remote  
is included with products other than amplifiers.  
Upsampling enables filtering to take place far  
beyond the range of human hearing, as well as  
offering other, audible benefits, right across the  
audio band, for ultimate transparency from a  
CD source.
