Introduction
In choosing the 556 Stereo Power Amplifier you have acquired a
component that combines major advances in audio and engineering
design.
The 556 Stereo Power Amplifier uses a unique feedback topology and
precision local error correction system. It is designed and constructed in
dual mono format, including a massive twin wound toroidal transformer,
and the unit has full thermal, load, and DC protection.
This guide is designed to enable you to obtain the best possible results
from the unit in conjunction with the other units in your system.

Introduction
The Meridian 500 Series
The Meridian 500 Series is a unique system of digital, analogue,
and video components designed to meet the demand for
absolute quality, ease of use, and lasting value.
The flexibility of the Meridian 500 Series is such that you can
assemble a system as simple or as complex as you need,
perfectly suited to your musical and environmental requirements,
and with the ability to add to it or change it at a later date should
your requirements change. The 500 Series is also compatible
with the existing Meridian 200 Series and 600 Series
components, and the new 800 Series.
Each Meridian 500 Series component is housed in a matching
slim line case. Front panel controls provide access to the most
important functions, and the full range of functions is available
from the Meridian System Handset using a simple and intuitive
control interface.
500 Series communications
The Meridian 500 Series includes a sophisticated
communications link, to ensure that any configuration of units
will work together as a fully integrated system.
The 500 Series communications system allows you to control
any combination of units using a single handset, and ensures
that your commands from the handset are interpreted
unambiguously. It also allows all the units to be switched off
from the front panel of any unit in the system.
Professional features
The 500 Series also provides features for professional users,
including RS232 computer control, and balanced connections.
The following pages give examples of four suggested
configurations to illustrate the flexibility of the Meridian 500
Series.

506 20-Bit CD Player
The 506 20-Bit CD Player is an integrated CD transport and
converter, providing both digital and analogue outputs.
The 506 20-Bit CD Player is ideally suited for use with the
Meridian 556 Stereo Power Amplifier and A500 Loudspeakers,
with control over the volume and source selection provided by
the 501 Control Unit. The 504 Stereo FM Tuner is an ideal
addition to the system if radio reception is required.
The 500 Compact Disc Transport provides a precision digital
output, and can drive Meridian DSP5000 Digital Loudspeakers
directly.
A 562 Digital Controller can be added to cater for conventional
analogue sources, such as the 504 Stereo FM Tuner, and
provide source selection between up to 12 different analogue or
digital sources.

The digital output provided by the 500 Compact Disc Transport
can be decoded by the 566 20-Bit Digital to Analogue Converter
to provide a high-quality audio output for use with a
conventional audio preamplifier. The 566 20-Bit Digital to
Analogue Converter can also decode digital signals from other
sources, including LaserDisc players and Digital Audio Tape.
The 502 Analogue Controller is a full function preamplifier for use
with any analogue source, and includes balanced inputs to allow
you to take advantage of balanced sources, including the 566
20-Bit Digital to Analogue Converter. It provides balanced
outputs which are ideal for use with the 557 Stereo Power
Amplifier.

Connecting the stereo power amplifier
Outputs
The output terminals should be connected to loudspeakers of
4 to 15, using either banana plug or bare wire connections.
Each channel of the 556 Stereo Power Amplifier provides twin
outputs for bi-wiring. On speakers that provide separate
connections to the bass/mid and tweeter units this allows the
units to be connected independently to the stereo power
amplifier, for optimum sound quality.
Alternatively, for loudspeakers providing a single pair of inputs,
either of the output terminals can be used.

To connect to a conventional
preamplifier
Connect the sockets marked INPUT on the back panel of the
stereo power amplifier to the outputs from your preamplifier.
You should either use a twin-screened audio cable, or a pair of
single-screened audio cables. These cables can have a
considerable effect on the quality of the sound, and you are
advised to seek your dealer’s advice on the best type of cables
for your system.
