DSP5200 and
DSP5200HC
Unpacking
Before you begin installation you should ensure that
your DSP loudspeakers are the correct voltage for your
local AC supply. If they are not, do not try to install
them, and contact your dealer.
You should not make any connections to the DSP
loudspeakers, or to any other component in your
system, while the AC power supply is connected and
switched on.
Care when unpacking
Take great care when unpacking or repacking the DSP
loudspeakers that you do not put undue pressure on
the face containing the drive units, as they may be
damaged if pressed.

Each pair of DSP loudspeakers is supplied with the
following components:
The DSP loudspeakers complete with grilles.
A hex wrench (3mm) for the drive units.
Eight screw-in feet with retractable spikes (DSP5200

Caution
Meridian Audio has taken every care in the design,
assembly, finishing and packing of this product. Some
models include a high-gloss finish, which is achieved by
painting up to five coats of polyester lacquer onto the
plywood, each one hand polished.
Due to the product size and high technology cabinet
construction, small marks on the lacquer surface may

be visible when unpacked. These small marks can
usually be removed as described in
Cleaning
, page 37.
It is the nature of all lacquer finishes to shrink over
time. This is unavoidable and may result in cabinet joint
lines becoming visible.
Meridian Audio has supplied products using lacquer
finishes for many years and we are confident that
when carefully used your product will return a lifetime’s
enjoyment.
To fit the feet (DSP5200 only)
The feet ensure that the loudspeakers have a stable
base, and can be adjusted to allow for uneven floors.
Use the spikes for carpeted floors; they are designed
to penetrate the pile without damaging or flattening the
carpet. Retract the spikes for solid floors.
Each DSP loudspeaker needs four feet, fitted as
follows:
Insert the spike into the foot so that the nut engages
in the hexagonal recess in the bottom of the foot,
and screw each spike into the threads on the bottom
of the loudspeaker. Do not fully tighten the lock nuts
at this stage.
On solid floors retract the spike so it does not extend
below the foot cap.
When all four feet have been fitted, carefully set the
DSP loudspeakers upright in their playing positions
and remove the rest of the packaging.
On carpeted floors, adjust the spikes until the
speakers are stable, and then tighten the lock nuts
using the feet as wrenches. If you need additional
length on the spikes you can remove the feet and
use the spikes and lock nuts on their own.
