3. additional configUration
Additional configuration is only required if:

You want to connect one or more digital audio sources
directly to the Digital In, Optical In, or USB Audio inputs
on the Master loudspeaker. Slave loudspeakers do not
require this configuration.

You want to be able to change the default settings of
any loudspeaker, and no suitable Meridian product is
connected to the loudspeakers which could provide access
to those settings.
To carry out additional configuration:
Use the Meridian control app on a Bluetooth phone or tablet
to communicate with the B-link adapter (supplied with the
loudspeakers) while it is connected to the Speakerlink input
of the loudspeaker.
when run for the first time, the app includes a simple step-by-
step installation process.
the Meridian control app provides access to the
configuration and control options on the dSP9 itself:
