The Comms connections should be made with BNC
to BNC cables. Suitable cables are available from your
Meridian dealer. Standard computer BNC to BNC
cables may also be used.
The digital connections should be made with high-
quality 75Ω screened cable. Suitable cables are
available from Meridian. We do not recommend using
audio cables, which do not have adequate shielding
or the correct impedance, or cables intended for UHF
applications, as these do not provide adequate shielding
in the 1–30MHz region.
