Meridian launches UHD121 HDMI Controller - seamless connectivity, uncompromised sound.

 

A compact, high-performance controller designed for effortless integration of modern UHD sources into Meridian systems.

Meridian Audio has officially launched the UHD121 HDMI Controller, a discreet yet powerful solution engineered to simplify connectivity and preserve the authenticity of every sound, delivering the full Meridian experience. 

First previewed to installers and integrators at CEDIA Expo 2025 earlier this September, the UHD121 bridges the gap between today’s UHD video sources and Meridian’s world-leading DSP loudspeakers and controllers. Supporting HDMI eARC/ARC and CEC, it delivers lossless, 2-channel LPCM audio up to 192kHz/24-bit, ensuring an authentic and uncompromised listening experience.

"The UHD121 saves us hours on site with its simple, reliable setup. Our clients love the seamless control from their TV remote, and we love how easy it makes delivering outstanding sound.
- Daryl Dembiec, Owner, HEDnorth
