If your system includes more than two Meridian DSP
loudspeakers you will need a 511 S-patch box (available
separately) to link together the S5 leads from each speaker, as
shown on the left.
● Use the comms part of an M5 lead to connect one of the
COMMS sockets on the Meridian Surround Controller to the
digital speaker you have chosen as the master (typically the
centre speaker).
● Use the audio part of the M5 lead to connect the digital
speaker to the appropriate digital output socket.
● Connect the COMMS output from the master digital speaker
to one socket on the 511 using an S5 lead.
● Link all the other digital speakers together using S5 leads, as
shown in the illustration. The other sockets on the 511 can be
used to distribute the comms to each slave speaker.
● Use the duplicate sockets on each digital speaker to link the
speakers together in pairs, corresponding to the pairs of
channels on the digital outputs.
● Set the CHANNEL switch on the back of each speaker to the
appropriate position.
