If your system includes more than two Meridian DSP loudspeakers you may
need a 511 S-patch box (available separately) to link together the S5 leads
from each speaker, as shown above.
• Use the comms part of an M5 lead to connect one of the COMMS
sockets on the Meridian Surround Processor to the DSP loudspeaker you
have chosen as the master (typically the centre speaker).
• Use the audio part of the M5 lead to connect the DSP loudspeaker to
the appropriate digital output on the Meridian Surround Processor.
• Connect the COMMS output from the master DSP loudspeaker to one
socket on the 511 using an S5 lead.
• Link all the other DSP loudspeakers together in pairs using S5 leads, as
shown in the illustration.
• Connect each pair of DSP loudspeakers to the appropriate digital output
on the Meridian Surround Processor, using an S5 lead. The other part of
the S5 lead is used to distribute the COMMS from the 511 to each pair of
DSP loudspeakers.
