Setting The Output Mode And Speakerlink Setting - Meridian 808 Signature Reference User Manual

Setting the output mode and SpeakerLink setting

The output mode determines whether the 808 provides
the volume control for the analogue outputs.
The SpeakerLink setting is only available if Output
Mode is set to Fixed, and determines whether the
loudspeaker settings are sent to DSP loudspeakers
connected via the SpeakerLink connection.
If SpeakerLink is set to On, the volume, bass,
treble, axis, and balance are sent to the speaker via
SpeakerLink; otherwise they are sent via the Comms
connection.
In addition, if SpeakerLink is set to On additional
EBA, position, EBC, subwoofer, and loudness controls
are available, and will control those features in DSP
loudspeakers that support them.
The following table shows which settings you should
choose for different applications:
