Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions... - Page 3 General installation information The DSW600 can be used in a variety of installation situations. It can be built into studwork covered by a layer of plasterboard (sheetrock), with or without a finishing skim of plaster. It can be mounted in studwork behind decorative stretched fabric.

As this type of work can generate dust and debris, it can make sense to separate components which are not required until later in the process and, either put them to one side, or move them away from site completely.

Note: If the subwoofer is to be installed in conjunction with the RF DSW Mains Receptacle (available separately), refer to the Appendix at the end of this guide. Step 2. The DSW600 is powered via a mains inlet Step 2. Step 2. Step 2. - Page 9 Step 3. Step 3. Prepare the acoustic enclosure for installation by laying it on a flat surface and fitting the four Step 3. Step 3. mounting wings to the acoustic enclosure using the twelve M5 x 12mm pozidriv countersunk screws supplied. These screws must be fitted very tightly as they are not accessible once the subwoofer is installed within the wall.
- Page 10 Step 5. Fit the subwoofer assembly to the studwork Step 5. Step 5. Step 5. with appropriate fixings through the 18 holes in the mounting wings. Note: fixings not supplied. If an outer layer of plasterboard (sheetrock) is being fitted to the wall, proceed to the next step. If no outer layer is being fitted, skip to Step 10 Step 10 Step 10.
- Page 11 Step 7. Step 7. Fill the cavities adjacent to the subwoofer Step 7. Step 7. with 100mm Rockwool. Apply a generous bead of silicon sealant (minimum width 5mm) to the front faces of the studs and between the foam damping strips on the front of the acoustic assembly.
- Page 12 Step 9. Once the finished skim has dried, Step 9. Step 9. Step 9. carefully free the edge of the installation shield using a knife. Step 10. Undo the six M5 x 35mm retaining Step 10. Step 10. Step 10. screws and remove the installation shield.
- Page 13 Step 11. Step 11. Offer up the electronics module to the Step 11. Step 11. aperture in the wall. Connect the SpeakerLink input lead to the SpeakerLink input socket. If a SpeakerLink output lead is present, connect this to the SpeakerLink output socket. Connect the mains cable to the electronics module.
- Page 14 Step Step 13. Step Step 13. Insert the electronics module into the wall aperture and secure it in place using six of the M5 x 15 socket-cap screws and six of the M5 washers supplied into the fixing holes indicated here. The ten remaining M5 x 15 socket cap screws and M5 washers will be required if the grille frame is not being fitted, so keep them to one side for now.
- Page 15 Connections on the electronics module The DSW600 is powered via a mains inlet socket on the underside of its electronics module. Therefore, a mains feed terminated with an IEC C13 connector is required within the wall cavity adjacent to where the mains inlet socket will be located.
- Page 16 If the DSW600 is being fed from the dedicated Mono or LFE subwoofer channel generated by a Meridian Surround Controller, that audio is present in channel 2, so the switch should be set to 2 2 2 2 . If more than one DSW600 is used in this role, all of them should be set to 2 2 2 2 .

1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and so on. For example, if A/B is configured to carry channels 3/4, both the A/B sockets carry channels 3 and 4. This means that each DSW600 being fed directly from the 271 must have its channel selector set to the appropriate position for the channel or channels intended to be played:... - Page 18 Not all these settings are relevant in every system; in some cases, none of them needs to be adjusted, in others one or more of them will need to be set during installation. The configuration required depends on the role of the DSW600 within the system.
- Page 19 Sub mode Sub mode Sub mode of the DSW600 is set to “Music” so its bass response is extended as shown in the graph above. This Sub mode is usually appropriate for this type of application but can be changed to “Music” if desired by the sending the relevant RS232 command to the subwoofer itself.
- Page 20 The front-panel RS232 allows for the configuration of the DSW600 to suit its role in the system, or to perform firmware updates. A cable suitable for connecting to the front-panel RS232 socket, terminated in a female DB9 plug, is available from authorised Meridian dealers: Meridian part number: PA10824 The socket accepts the longer version of the three-way, 3.5mm (1/8 inch) minijack plug, e.g.
- Page 21 Connect the RJ45 socket to an RJ45 to RS232 cable. • An RJ45 to RS232 cable, terminated in a female DB9 plug, is available from authorised Meridian dealers: Meridian part number PA10840. Where loudspeakers and subwoofers are daisy-chained, access to the SpeakerLink input of the downstream products can be provided by routing all SpeakerLink feeds through RJ45 couplers located in the rack.

RS232 command set Please note: This list contains some commands which are not recognised by the DSW600. They are included here as they may be used to control other Meridian loudspeaker models which can be used in combination with the DSW600. - Page 23 Source control commands Source control commands Source control commands Source control commands These commands allow control of a Meridian source connected to the master loudspeaker.

- Page 24 The non-volatile room height is used only when the non-volatile EBC setting is not SL. The range is 150 to 400cm in 1cm steps. 6. Centre mode applies only to Meridian DSP520.2, DSP640.2 and DSP750. Music/Movie mode applies only to the Meridian DSW, DSW.2 and DSW600.
- Page 25 In territories where building regulations stipulate that flexible power cables cannot be used within wall spaces, the DSW600 should be installed in conjunction with the DSW600 Wall Receptacle (available separately). This is a metal enclosure designed to be installed directly adjacent to the DSW600 to provide a three-way IEC socket to feed the subwoofer.
- Page 26 The housing of the RF DSW features several circular punch-out access holes to provide flexibility for the routing of cables into the product. Open the access hole which is most conveniently positioned for the routing of the incoming mains power feed to be connected to the RF DSW.
- Page 27 Connect the incoming mains to the terminal block on the circuit board; Neutral, Earth and Live connections Fit the mains terminal box back into the housing using its three retaining screws Fit the RF DSW to the studwork with appropriate fixings through the four holes in its mounting wings.
