The DSP3100 from Meridian represents a new benchmark in the development of compact, high-performance digital loudspeakers. In addition to the DSP version, an analogue active version is available as the M3100, with similar specifications.

The 3100 is intended for use as a bookshelf, or stand- or wall-mounted loudspeaker. The horizontal centre unit is designed to sit on a shelf.

DSP3100s are tonally similar to other Meridian DSP loudspeakers and as a result they are ideal for use, for example, as surrounds for a Meridian DSP-based system, and they are ideal compact second zone speakers in a Meridian multi-room environment. With S/PDIF digital inputs at up to 24-bit, 96kHz, they can also be used as high-high-end computer loudspeakers. The extremely accurate characteristics of the DSP3100 and M3100 also make them eminently suitable for studio monitoring applications, particularly as near-field or surround monitors in recording and mastering facilities. They are equally suited for use in a smaller stand-alone system in a study or bedroom.
