Meridian Launches New-Look Website

Digital audio performance and style innovator Meridian Audio has announced that its elegant and highly contemporary new website is now live at: www.meridian-audio.com

With its clean, modern design and effortless performance the new website unveiled by Meridian – one of the consumer electronics industry’s most highly regarded luxury manufacturers – mirrors the peerless quality of the new product line-up the Cambridge-based company offers.

As well as delivering a complete and authoritative guide to every Meridian product available, the stylish site also offers an intelligent navigation system that lets you find what you want, as quickly and painlessly as possible.

This is yet another phase of Meridian’s development as it pushes into the 21st century and is a positive manifestation of the recent investment in the brand.

Consumers can search for products either by type, such as CD players or surround sound processors, or by exact model number. Once a product has been located comprehensive information and specifications are at hand, along with image galleries, press recognition, and brochures. Meridian stores — whether it is a Premium Partner, a Compact System Reseller or Design Consultant — can be found by simply tapping in a postcode. In addition, Meridian will shortly be introducing a worldwide map function, which lets you select a continent followed by country, and then postcode.

Elsewhere a news section keeps readers up keep up-to-date with all the latest developments at Meridian, while there are a series of downloadable White Papers illuminating and explaining Meridian’s technology, detailing research and development programmes. Existing customers can also register products online.

Meridian’s Chief Marketing Officer Graeme Taylor commented, “We wanted the new website to accurately reflect Meridian’s contemporary new corporate identity whist still emphasising the values on which the company has been based for over 30 years. Our design team has constructed a clear, customer-focused site to enable visitors to easily discover more about the brand and, importantly, where they can experience it, by directing them to one of our retailers and, in the UK, one of our Premium Partners. We feel that the goal of creating an easily navigable menu of products with an in depth archive of materials from datasheets, user manuals to firmware updates has been achieved. Also – this is very much ‘Phase 1’ of the site’s development and we have a number of interesting and customer relevant – additions being made in the coming weeks.”
