S5 lead
If your system includes more than two Meridian DSP
Loudspeakers, use an S5 lead to bring back the COMMS
output from the master digital speaker, and connect it to one
of the S-LEAD sockets on the 565.
Link all the other digital speakers together using S5 leads, as
shown in the illustration. The other S-LEAD sockets on the
back of the 565 can be used to distribute the comms to each
slave speaker.
Use the duplicate sockets on each digital speaker to link the
speakers together in pairs, corresponding to the pairs of
channels on the digital outputs.
To connect to Meridian Active
Loudspeakers
Connect the appropriate outputs from the digital surround
processor to the speaker inputs, using screened audio cable.
