CONSTRUCTION
Explorer² is designed and built in the UK, in exactly the same
way and with the same attention to detail and quality as any
other Meridian product. Housed in a rugged and elegant
extruded aluminium shell with moulded plastic endcaps and
rubber feet, Explorer² embodies Meridian DNA. The USB
socket input and headphone output are easily accessible.
• The design features a sophisticated
six-layer circuit board with audiophile-
grade components utilised throughout,
including resistors, sockets and music
grade electrolytics, and polypropylene filter
capacitors.
• The use of direct-coupled outputs further
maximises audio quality.
