To specify the loudspeaker position
The frequency response of each loudspeaker can be
individually tailored to compensate for its position in the
room, or to integrate the sound with a subwoofer where
no surround controller is present.
For multichannel systems with a surround controller we
recommend each speaker is configured individually.
For two-channel systems you may wish to set this
control to SL in both speakers so that it can be
adjusted remotely by the system controller (eg a
Meridian 818).
When configuring the DSP loudspeakers, point the
remote at the speakers, even if you have a Meridian
Surround Controller.
• Press > or < until the display shows the current
position setting.
For example:
• Press A or V to select the appropriate option as
follows:
Option
Pos.Free
Pos.Wall
Pos.Sub1
Pos.Sub2
Pos.Free
What it means
Flat frequency

Speaker closer than
0.5m (20") to a wall.

order high-pass filter
at 80Hz for use with a
subwoofer.
Applies a second-order
high-pass filter at
120Hz for use with a
subwoofer
Option
Pos.Corn
Pos. SL
To configure the centre elevation
The DSP5200HC and DSP7200HC include signal
processing software that raises the perceived source of
the audio. This is particularly useful in a home theatre
when the loudspeaker is below the screen; as well as
improving the sense of dialogue coming from centre
stage, it enhances the integration of sounds that pan
from left and right, giving a much more immersive
experience.
This setting defaults to SL, which allows it to be
controlled from the SpeakerLink menus in a Meridian
Surround Controller. If you have an older Surround
Controller you should set this manually.
• Press > or < until the display shows the current
setting.
For example:
• Press A or V to select between Off, Minimum,
Medium, or Maximum.
A higher setting will raise the audio, but the ideal
setting will depend on your particular system. When set
too high some movie sequences can lose their tonal
qualities. We recommend you set the centre elevation
to the lowest setting that achieves a smooth transition
across left, centre, and right for panning sequences.
What it means
Speaker closer than
0.5m (20") to a corner.
