You can create a complete system by connecting a pair
of DSP8000 loudspeakers directly to a digital source.
The DSP loudspeakers include volume, balance, and
tone controls allowing you to control the system using
an MSR+.
If the Meridian source or control unit includes a
Meridian SpeakerLink output, such as the 808
Anniversary System CD Player, you can make all the
connections using SpeakerLink leads. The Meridian
SpeakerLink connection provides both two-channel
digital audio and Meridian Comms control.
This is an alternative to the "daisy chain" wiring
configuration shown in the next section.
• Connect the upper SpeakerLink output from the
Meridian product to the SpeakerLink input on
the DSP8000 chosen as the master, using a
SpeakerLink lead.
• Connect the lower SpeakerLink output from the
Meridian product to the SpeakerLink input on the
other (slave) DSP8000, using a second SpeakerLink
lead.
