The 808 can be connected directly to Meridian DSP
loudspeakers to create a complete compact stereo
system, with volume and other preamplifier controls
provided by the loudspeakers via the MSR+ or the front
panel.
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 previous section.
Connect the upper SpeakerLink output from the 808
to the SpeakerLink input on the DSP loudspeaker
chosen as the Master, using a SpeakerLink lead.
Connect the lower SpeakerLink output from the 808
to the SpeakerLink input on the other (Slave) DSP
loudspeaker, using a second SpeakerLink lead.
Configure the loudspeakers as described in the
Meridian DSP Loudspeaker User Guide
.
