This is an alternative to the “home run” wiring
configuration shown opposite.
Connect the appropriate SpeakerLink output on the
right-hand column of the 861 to the digital speaker
you have chosen as the master (typically the front left
speaker), using a Meridian SpeakerLink lead.
Connect the appropriate SpeakerLink outputs on
the 861 to one of each of the remaining pairs of
speakers, using a Meridian SpeakerLink lead.
Link each pair of speakers together with a Meridian
SpeakerLink lead, out of the first speaker and into
the second speaker, as shown in the diagram.
The speakers should then be configured appropriately
as master and slaves, and Left, Right, Centre,
Surround; see
Meridian DSP Loudspeaker User Guide
for more details.
Alternatively you can use standard CAT5 network
cables instead of SpeakerLink leads.
