You can create a complete system by connecting a pair
of DSP loudspeakers directly to a digital source. The
DSP loudspeakers include volume, balance, and tone
controls allowing you to control the system using an
MSR+.
If the Meridian source or control unit includes a
Meridian SpeakerLink output, such as the Meridian
808.3 CD Player, you can make all the connections
using SpeakerLink leads. The Meridian SpeakerLink
connection provides both two-channel digital audio and
Meridian Comms control.
This is an alternative to the “daisy chain” wiring
configuration shown in the next section.
Connect the upper SpeakerLink output from the
Meridian product to the SpeakerLink input on the
DSP loudspeaker chosen as the master, using a
SpeakerLink lead.
Connect the lower SpeakerLink output from the
Meridian product to the SpeakerLink input on the
other (slave) DSP loudspeaker, using a second
SpeakerLink lead.
Configure the master DSP loudspeaker as M.RJ45
and the slave DSP loudspeaker as S.RJ45; see
