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 808
Anniversary System 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.
