Configuring
the DSP8000
loudspeakers
To specify the loudspeaker position
The frequency response of each loudspeaker can be
individually tailored to compensate for its position in the
room, or to integrate the sound with a subwoofer where
no surround controller is present.
For multichannel systems with a surround controller we
recommend each speaker is configured individually.
For two-channel systems you may wish to set this
control to SL in both speakers so that it can be
adjusted remotely by the system controller (eg a
Meridian 818).
When configuring the DSP8000 loudspeakers,
point the remote at the speakers, even if you have a
Meridian Surround Controller.
Press > or < until the display shows the current
position setting.
For example:
Pos.Free
Press A or V to select the appropriate option as
follows:
Option What it means
Pos.Free
Flat frequency
response.
Pos.Wall
Speaker closer than
0.5m (20") to a wall.
Pos.Sub1
Applies a second-
order high-pass filter
at 80Hz for use with a
subwoofer.
Pos.Sub2
Applies a second-order
high-pass filter at
120Hz for use with a
subwoofer

To specify the ambient temperature for
thermal protection
The DSP8000 drive units are protected from
overheating by thermal protection software. This is
already configured correctly for most domestic listening
environments, but if the ambient temperature is greater
than 24°C (75°F) you should adjust the ambient
temperature setting.
Press > or < until the display shows the current
ambient temperature setting.
For example:
Temp24
Press A or V to specify the ambient temperature.
When thermal protection is active the lower left green
indicator will be illuminated.
