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 Meridian

808 Signature Reference 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.

•

Configure the Master DSP8000 as M.RJ45 and the

Slave DSP8000 as S.RJ45; see

To choose Master

or Slave and the primary connector

, page 24.
