Meridian Audio 562V Multimedia Controller / Preamplifier
The 562V was the cornerstone of the Meridian 500 series system, it provides an array of vital features & functions including unprecedented flexibility in signal selection and routing of video, analog audio, and digital audio. The 562V greatly enhances performance and control of even the most sophisticated home-theater and 2-channel stereo systems.

The 562V greatly enhances performance and control of even the most sophisticated home-theater and 2-channel stereo systems.
The 562V is a control and switching center for a digital audio system. It’s a preamp for digital systems.
The 562V allows you to control 5 cable-digital, 2 optical and 7 analogue sources in an installation. 562V has analogue and digital outputs (there are internal A/D and D/A converters) and it supports analogue, digital and VCR recorders with a separate copy loop.
The 562V also controls video sources with incredibly high standard studio-grade video routing and processing. Up to four S signals can be switched to a main output and independently to two videotape outputs. Up to six composite video sources can be controlled (also supporting a main and two tape outputs). New in 562V is the processing that allows conversion of the main and tape S outputs to composite.
The 562V has RS232 for control and setup – which is now possible using the Meridian setup application.
