DSP5200 and
DSP5200HC
Unpacking
Before you begin installation you should ensure that
your DSP loudspeakers are the correct voltage for your
local AC supply. If they are not, do not try to install
them, and contact your dealer.
You should not make any connections to the DSP
loudspeakers, or to any other component in your
system, while the AC power supply is connected and
switched on.
Care when unpacking
Take great care when unpacking or repacking the DSP
loudspeakers that you do not put undue pressure on
the face containing the drive units, as they may be
damaged if pressed.

following components:
The DSP loudspeakers complete with grilles.
A hex wrench (3mm) for the drive units.

Caution
Meridian Audio has taken every care in the design,
assembly, finishing and packing of this product. Some
models include a high-gloss finish, which is achieved by
painting up to five coats of polyester lacquer onto the
plywood, each one hand polished.
Due to the product size and high technology cabinet
construction, small marks on the lacquer surface may

be visible when unpacked. These small marks can
usually be removed as described in Cleaning , page 37.
It is the nature of all lacquer finishes to shrink over
time. This is unavoidable and may result in cabinet joint
lines becoming visible.
Meridian Audio has supplied products using lacquer
finishes for many years and we are confident that
when carefully used your product will return a lifetime’s
enjoyment.
To adjust the feet (DSP5200 only)
Each DSP loudspeaker has four feet consisting of a
metal spike which threads into the loudspeaker cabinet,
a large silver lock nut, and a black protective puck.
The spikes can be adjusted to allow for uneven floors
in order to ensure that the loudspeakers have a stable
base.

To remove puck
unscrew anti-clockwise
On carpeted floors all parts can be fitted and the spike
should be adjusted so that it extends through the puck
and penetrates the carpet pile to the floor underneath.
Where a carpet has a deep pile you can fully unscrew
and remove the puck to expose more of the spike.
