The Meridian Ellipse, a new wireless speaker from the British audio pioneer, boasts nearly 50 years of engineering expertise. This compact device delivers impressive sound quality thanks to Meridian's advanced DSP technologies, including Image Elevation, Bass & Space, and Image Focus+. The Ellipse supports multiple streaming options, including AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Roon Ready.
is a name steeped in British audio history. From its founding in 1977 with the launch of the world’s first active speaker—the Meridian M1—to the world’s first audiophile performance CD player in 1983, Meridian has a track record for innovation in audio.
At the rear of the Ellipse is a bank of inputs for connecting external audio sources. There is also an Ethernet port, although the Ellipse also has 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi built in. The inputs consist of a 3.5mm jack which can accept optical or analog sources, then there is a USB port for external storage containing music files. For streaming digitally, there is a USB-C port so you can connect the Ellipse to a Mac or PC and use it as a fancy computer speaker.
Other clever Meridian tricks built into the Ellipse include Image Focus which applies a combination of gains and delays to correct for off-axis listening and ensures that the original soundstage of the recording is maintained.
Unlike some of its competitors, such as the Naim Mu-so or the Cambridge Evo One, the Ellipse doesn’t go in for multiple speaker drivers or even a nice color display to show off the album art and settings. Behind the unit’s removable speaker grille are two 90mm polypropylene wide-range drivers—for the left and right channels—and a 150mm x 100mm polypropylene long-throw “racetrack” subwoofer separating them.
The drivers are perfectly matched and using the Meridian DSP technologies with settings on the smartphone app, the Ellipse can create a soundstage almost as wide and convincing as a separate pair of bookshelf speakers set two meters apart. It’s astonishing how well this speaker can image a piece of music.This is a surefooted speaker with an impressive soundstage and the kind of presence that Bose used to brag about when it came to “room-filling sound.
